Documentation Skill

Documentation Skill

What this skill does

Use this skill for documentation-focused tasks such as:

• writing or rewriting README.md;
• updating guides or internal notes stored in the repository;
• improving structure, clarity, headings, examples, or usage steps;
• keeping a final report consistent across repeated documentation tasks.

Activation

Activate this skill when the task is primarily about documentation, explanations, or Markdown structure.

Scope

• Local repository documentation only.
• Small to medium documentation edits.
• No network access by default.
• No global configuration changes.
• No destructive commands.

Rules

• Read the existing document before rewriting it.
• Preserve the technical meaning unless the task explicitly asks for a change.
• Prefer short, clear sections over long narrative text.
• Keep examples small and practical.
• Report what changed and what was not checked.

Stop rules

• Stop if the task requires changes outside the approved documentation scope.
• Stop if the request becomes ambiguous about audience, tone, or target files.
• Stop before adding claims that cannot be supported by the repository content.

Optional template

Use templates/final-report.md when you want a consistent completion summary.
