Cursor plugin for rendering documentation — architecture notes, API references, runbooks, and codebase walkthroughs — as a navigable Cursor Canvas instead of a flat markdown file.
This plugin is an initial scaffold. The skill structure is complete and the Canvas welcome page will surface it in the marketplace, but the skill body is intentionally a starting outline rather than a fully-tuned playbook. Expect iteration as the "docs on a canvas" pattern matures.
docs-canvas: build a Canvas that presents structured documentation with an overview card, a navigable table of contents, mixed prose/code/diagram sections, and a references block.
- Rendering architecture notes, design docs, or RFCs as something you can scan, not just read top-to-bottom.
- Turning a directory of markdown docs, or a single large doc, into a Canvas with jump navigation.
- Answering a codebase question with a layout richer than a single reply — sections, diagrams, tables, callouts.
Trigger it with phrases like "docs canvas", "documentation overview", "architecture walkthrough", "API reference page", or "render this doc as an interactive canvas".
The skill expects a docs canvas to lead with:
- Overview — short summary card: purpose, scope, audience.
- Table of contents — sticky/pinned list of sections the reader can jump to.
- Body sections — one per logical unit (architecture, API, examples, gotchas), mixing prose, code blocks, diagrams, callouts.
- References — links to related docs, source files, RFCs, external material.
Those are a floor, not a ceiling — the skill encourages reaching for whatever representation (diagrams, tables, decision trees, worked examples) actually helps the reader for the specific topic.
- Cursor with Canvas enabled.
- Source material: a directory of markdown files, a single doc URL, an inline outline, or a codebase question to answer.
