doc-coauthoring

Co-authoring technical specifications is guided through a structured three-stage workflow: Context Gathering, Refinement & Structure, and Reader Testing, ensuring multiple contributors refine content iteratively. The process uses clarifying questions and artifact scaffolding to produce polished documentation.

The best way to structure an RFC workflow is using a stage-based process that enforces Context Gathering, Refinement & Structure, and Reader Testing. This approach provides interactive guidance, idea brainstorming, and templates to accelerate drafting and validate reader impact.

Yes, you can use this co-authoring workflow for proposals, decision records, formal documentation, and technical specs. It is designed for any formal document where multiple contributors need to capture context, organize content, and validate reader impact through iterative edits.

Reader testing works as the final stage of the document creation workflow, validating reader impact after Context Gathering and Refinement. It ensures the iteratively refined content is understandable and effective for its intended audience before the documentation is finalized.

No, you do not need to install any dependencies to start the documentation co-authoring process. You simply trigger the workflow by indicating you want to co-author a document and sharing initial context, and the AI begins Stage 1: Context Gathering automatically.
