SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of inconsistent, bloated, or outdated documentation by providing a structured framework for creating high-quality technical and user-facing content.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Templates: Provides specific guidance for writing user guides, technical architecture, runbooks, onboarding, and changelogs.
  • Principle-Driven Writing: Enforces the philosophy of documenting only what code cannot explain, prioritizing architecture over implementation.
  • Use Case: A lead engineer can use this skill to generate a standardized runbook for a new microservice, ensuring that incident response procedures are clear, scannable, and actionable for the rest of the team.

Quick Start

Use the docs skill to generate a new technical architecture document for the current repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create standardized technical architecture documentation for an existing repository?

To create technical architecture documentation, use structured templates that prioritize high-level system design and visual diagrams over prose. This approach enforces minimal documentation standards by capturing only what the code cannot explain, ensuring your architecture documents remain clear and maintainable.

What is the best way to write runbooks for incident response and operational clarity?

The best way to write runbooks is to apply principle-driven templates that focus on operational clarity and actionable procedures. By standardizing runbook creation around high-level system design, you ensure incident response procedures are scannable and effective for on-call teams.

How do I generate onboarding guides that follow minimal documentation standards?

To generate onboarding guides with minimal documentation standards, use structured templates that document only what code cannot explain. This principle-driven writing approach prioritizes architecture over implementation details, accelerating new engineer onboarding without creating bloated, outdated guides.

Can I use structured templates to write changelogs and technical writing documents?

Yes, you can use structured templates to standardize changelogs and technical writing. The framework enforces a philosophy of documenting only essential information, relying on visual diagrams over prose to maintain system truth and prevent documentation bloat across user-facing and technical content.

When should I avoid writing detailed prose and use visual diagrams instead for technical documentation?

You should use visual diagrams instead of prose whenever you need to maintain system truth in technical documentation. The skill enforces a principle-driven approach that prioritizes architecture over implementation, requiring visual diagrams to ensure high-level system design remains scannable and clear.
