Documentation collapse = types merge inappropriately, serving no audience well.
Anti-Patterns
Tutorial Creep
Description: Tutorial explains "why" extensively | Detection: explanation >20% | Fix: extract to separate doc, link back
How-to Bloat
Description: How-to teaches basics first | Detection: teaching fundamentals before steps | Fix: link to tutorial, assume baseline
Reference Narrative
Description: Reference includes conversational prose | Detection: prose paragraphs in entries | Fix: move to explanation doc, keep factual
Explanation Task Drift
Description: Explanation ends with "do this" steps | Detection: step-by-step in explanation | Fix: move steps to how-to, link
Hybrid Horror
Description: Single doc tries all four types | Detection: 3+ quadrants in one doc | Fix: split with clear boundaries
Detection Rules
Flag collapse when:
- >20% content from adjacent quadrant | Two user needs served simultaneously | Ambiguous user journey stage
- "Why" in tutorials | Task steps in explanations | Teaching in how-tos | Narrative in references
Bad Examples for Calibration
Tutorial with Task Focus
# Getting Started
If you need to deploy to production, follow these steps...
Problem: Assumes user knows what "deploy to production" means. A tutorial should assume nothing.
How-to Teaching Basics
# How to Configure Authentication
First, let's understand what authentication is. Authentication is...
Problem: Should assume user knows what authentication is. Link to a tutorial instead.
Reference with Opinions
## login(username, password)
This is probably the most important function you'll use...
Problem: Reference should be factual, not opinionated. Remove "probably the most important" editorializing.
Explanation with Steps
# Why We Use Microservices
... therefore, you should: 1. Create a service, 2. Deploy it...
Problem: Steps belong in a how-to guide. The explanation should end with reasoning and link to the how-to for action.

Integration with protocols.io API for managing scientific protocols. This skill should be used when working with protocols.io to search, create, update, or publish protocols; manage protocol steps and materials; handle discussions and comments; organize workspaces; upload and manage files; or integrate protocols.io functionality into workflows. Applicable for protocol discovery, collaborative protocol development, experiment tracking, lab protocol management, and scientific documentation.
Analyzes job descriptions and generates tailored resumes that highlight relevant experience, skills, and achievements to maximize interview chances
Generate Excalidraw diagrams from natural language descriptions. Use when asked to "create a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualize a process", "draw a system architecture", "create a mind map", or "generate an Excalidraw file". Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.
Build and distribute Expo development clients locally or via TestFlight
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.
Benchling R&D platform integration. Access registry (DNA, proteins), inventory, ELN entries, workflows via API, build Benchling Apps, query Data Warehouse, for lab data management automation.
Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.
