SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing documentation, proposals, and specs alone often produces documents that make sense to the author but confuse readers. This Skill structures the co-authoring process so context is fully transferred, each section is refined iteratively, and blind spots are caught before others read the doc. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-Stage Workflow: Context Gathering, Refinement & Structure, and Reader Testing guide the document from idea to finished draft. - Section-by-Section Iteration: Brainstorming, curation, drafting, and surgical edits for each section of the document. - Reader Testing: Validates the finished doc with a fresh, context-free reviewer (sub-agent or manual test) to catch ambiguity and assumed knowledge. - Use Case: Draft a technical decision doc by dumping project context, curating brainstormed points per section, then verifying a fresh reader can answer realistic questions from the final text. ## Quick Start Help me write a decision doc for our new caching layer using the doc co-authoring workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a technical spec with AI assistance?▼

Use a structured co-authoring workflow: first dump all project context and answer clarifying questions, then build the spec section by section through brainstorming and curation, and finally test the draft with a fresh reviewer to catch blind spots.

How to draft a decision doc or RFC collaboratively?▼

Start with context gathering about the decision, audience, and constraints. Then iterate on each section by selecting from brainstormed options, drafting, and refining with targeted edits until the document reads clearly.

What is reader testing for documentation?▼

Reader testing validates a document by having a fresh reviewer with no prior context answer realistic questions about it. It reveals ambiguity, assumed knowledge, and contradictions that authors typically miss.

Can this workflow work without sub-agents or artifacts?▼

Yes. Without sub-agents, the user manually tests the doc in a fresh conversation. Without artifacts, sections are drafted in a markdown file in the working directory using the same iterative process.

When should I not use a structured doc workflow?▼

Skip it for short or informal writing where three stages of iteration add overhead without benefit. The workflow can be declined at the start, and the user can adjust or skip stages at any point.
