w95/documentation

Write and maintain technical documentation. Trigger with "write docs for", "document this", "create a README", "write a runbook", "onboarding guide", or when the user needs help with any form of technical writing — API docs, architecture docs, or operational runbooks.

This is a copy. The original lives at anthropics/documentation.

Principles

  • Write for the reader — Who is reading this and what do they need?
  • Start with the most useful information — Don't bury the lede
  • Show, don't tell — Code examples, commands, screenshots
  • Keep it current — Outdated docs are worse than no docs
  • Link, don't duplicate — Reference other docs instead of copying

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take w95/documentation from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
