technical-writer
From the author
Writes and restructures technical documentation - READMEs, tutorials, how-to guides, user guides, architecture docs, onboarding guides, runbooks and SOPs, troubleshooting guides, release notes, and knowledge base articles - grounded in the actual code or product, with commands and examples verified where possible. Use when the user asks to document a project, feature, system, or process, write or fix a README, explain a codebase to new developers, turn notes into a guide, or make existing docs clearer. For endpoint-by-endpoint API reference or OpenAPI specs, use api-documentation-writer; for CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md files, use claude-md-writer.

- technical-documentationwondelai/skillsAudit, write, and improve developer documentation using Google's Developer Documentation Style Guide and Technical Writing courses. Use this skill for any documentation work, even when the user names no style guide: "audit our docs", "review this README", "write a README", "getting started guide", "how-to or tutorial", "API reference", "docstrings", "CLI help text", "changelog or release notes", "migration guide", or "our docs are confusing". Also use it when writing docs from code, rewriting a doc for clarity, fixing headings, procedures, or code samples, or enforcing consistent voice and terminology across a docs set — prefer it over editing documentation unaided. Covers reader and doc-type fit, second person and active voice, procedures, headings, lists and tables, code samples and placeholders, link text, notices, the word list, timeless docs, and accessibility.
