SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Game projects accumulate scattered knowledge that designers, engineers, and future AI agents struggle to consume. This Skill provides a Technical Writer persona (Paige) that authors, validates, and maintains structured documentation following strict CommonMark and style standards. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Document Authoring: Write READMEs, API references, user guides, and architecture docs through guided conversation following documentation-standards.md best practices. - Standards Validation: Review existing documents against CommonMark rules, style guidelines, and a quality checklist, returning prioritized improvement suggestions. - Mermaid Diagram Generation: Create flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, and ER diagrams with valid Mermaid v10+ syntax. - Use Case: A game studio needs architecture documentation for a new engine module. Invoke the writer, describe the system, and receive a standards-compliant document with component diagrams ready for the project wiki. ## Quick Start Ask Paige to write an architecture document for your game project following the documentation standards.

How to validate existing documentation against style guidelines?

Use the validate-doc workflow with the target document path. It reviews the file against documentation-standards.md covering CommonMark compliance, clarity, structure, and audience fit, then returns a prioritized list of actionable improvements.

Can I generate Mermaid diagrams for architecture documentation?

Yes, the mermaid-gen workflow creates flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, ER diagrams, and state diagrams using valid Mermaid v10+ syntax. It suggests diagram types based on your description and iterates on feedback.

How do I customize the technical writer persona behavior?

Edit the customize.toml file to override the agent's role, communication style, principles, and menu items. Team and user-level TOML overrides merge structurally with the base configuration following BMad merge rules.

What documentation types does this skill support?

It supports READMEs, API references with OpenAPI elements, user guides, architecture documents with ADRs, and developer guides. Each type has defined structural requirements in documentation-standards.md.
