cognitive-doc-design

What problem does it solve? Documentation often becomes long, dense, and hard to scan, forcing readers and PR reviewers to reconstruct context before they can act. This Skill applies cognitive load principles so guides, READMEs, RFCs, and review docs lead with the answer and stay easy to navigate. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Cognitive Patterns: Applies six rules including lead-with-the-answer, progressive disclosure, chunking, signposting, and recognition over recall. - Default Document Template: Provides a reusable Markdown structure with quick path, details table, checklist, and next step sections. - PR Review Guidance: Makes the review path explicit by stating what to review first, what is out of scope, and linking chained PRs. - Use Case: When writing an onboarding guide that feels overwhelming, restructure it so new contributors see the happy path first, with edge cases and references progressively disclosed afterward. ## Quick Start Restructure my README using the cognitive-doc-design patterns so it leads with the outcome and uses progressive disclosure.
