SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures documentation is clear, complete, and usable by individuals with no prior knowledge of the subject matter, by simulating a "cold start" testing scenario.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hermetic Testing: Spawns a zero-context agent to follow documentation strictly, identifying gaps without inference.
  • Gap Reporting: Generates detailed reports on missing steps, unclear instructions, and contextual deficiencies.
  • Use Case: A developer team can use this Skill to validate their new README.md and INSTALLATION.md files before releasing a new version, ensuring that any new user can successfully set up and use the software.

Quick Start

Use the rtfm-testing skill to test the usability of the README.md file.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test documentation usability for new users?

Test documentation usability by spawning a zero-context agent to follow instructions literally, identifying gaps in clarity and completeness without relying on prior knowledge. This simulates a cold start scenario to validate onboarding and operational tasks.

How does a zero-context agent identify gaps in documentation?

A zero-context agent identifies documentation gaps by following instructions strictly without inference, surfacing missing steps, unclear instructions, and contextual deficiencies. It validates text against a hermetic testing framework to ensure absolute clarity.

Can I validate my README and installation guides before a release?

You can validate README and installation guides by running a hermetic test that checks if a zero-context agent can successfully follow setup instructions. This ensures any new user can complete software onboarding without prior knowledge.

What is the best way to find missing steps in technical onboarding docs?

The best way to find missing steps in onboarding docs is to simulate a cold start test using a zero-context agent. This approach generates detailed gap reports highlighting contextual deficiencies and unclear instructions.

Does hermetic documentation testing require any specific dependencies?

Hermetic documentation testing requires no external dependencies to validate text usability. The skill operates independently, using internal scripts and references to spawn the zero-context agent and generate gap analysis reports.
