What problem does it solve? Teams accumulate many Policies, Research documents, and Skills across scopes, but lack navigable overview documents that connect them. This Skill guides the creation of XDRS-compliant articles that synthesize related decision content into a single readable view without duplicating the source material. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured article authoring: Follows the XDRS article standards for scope, type, subject, numbering, naming, and folder placement. - Cross-document synthesis: Researches relevant Policies, Research documents, and Skills, then links to them instead of copying decision text. - Index and back-reference registration: Updates scope/type indexes and adds back-references in the synthesized documents. - Use Case: A developer asks for an overview of how skills work in the project; the Skill produces .xdrs/_local/adrs/principles/articles/001-skills-overview.md linking to the relevant policies and skill files. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to write an article about a topic in your XDRS project, specifying the intended audience and scope.
