FAQPage Schema
How do I write an ADR or design doc through a guided interview?▼

You can co-author structured technical documents like ADRs and design docs by answering 3–5 focused interview questions. The Skill then generates a complete document using a predefined template, ensuring consistent structure and language across your engineering team.

What is the best way to create a postmortem or runbook from a template?▼

The best way to create a postmortem or runbook is using a prompt-driven interview that collects purpose, audience, and scope before drafting. This guardrail approach ensures the final templated output captures all necessary operational context.

Can I generate an RFC or onboarding guide without starting from a blank page?▼

Yes, you can generate an RFC or onboarding guide without starting from scratch. The Skill guides you through a focused interview and automatically outputs a complete document in the corresponding template, eliminating the blank page problem.

Does this guided interview approach work for all technical document types?▼

The guided interview approach works for ADRs, design docs, runbooks, postmortems, onboarding guides, and RFCs. It enforces a prompt-driven interview with 3–5 questions for each document type to ensure comprehensive coverage.

How do I ensure consistent structure across multiple technical documents?▼

To ensure consistent structure across technical documents, use template-based output driven by a guided interview. By capturing the document's purpose upfront and applying standardized templates, the Skill maintains uniform language and formatting across all generated docs.

What information do I need before co-authoring a technical document?▼

Before co-authoring a technical document, you need to define its purpose, audience, and scope. The Skill enforces these guardrails during the interview phase to ensure the generated template output meets your team's specific requirements.
