What problem does it solve?
This skill provides a structured workflow to guide users through collaborative document creation. It acts as an active guide, walking users through three stages: Context Gathering, Refinement & Structure, and Reader Testing.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Three-stage workflow: Context Gathering, Refinement & Structure, and Reader Testing.
- Triggers for identifying when to offer the workflow (writing docs, proposals, specs, decision docs, RFCs).
- Interactive Stage 1: Context Gathering with initial questions to elicit meta-context.
- Stage 2: Refinement & Structure with iterative drafting, brainstorming, and surgical edits.
- Stage 3: Reader Testing with a "fresh Claude" check for reader-facing clarity.
- Optional integration with artifacts creation to scaffold documents; supports freeform drafting if user declines structured approach.
- Suitable for technical specs, proposals, design docs, PRDs, RFCs, decision docs, and other structured documentation tasks.
Quick Start
Start by offering the structured doc co-authoring workflow whenever the user is preparing to write a document such as a technical spec, proposal, or design doc. If the user accepts, proceed to Stage 1 and collect context before drafting.
