SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Improves an existing technical document’s clarity and rubric compliance by making changes only after an audit, then re-validating so the document never regresses in score.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audit-first, destructive changes prevented: Runs a read-only docs-review audit to capture baseline score, top issues, and exact problem locations before editing.
  • Operator-controlled rewrite plan: Forces a mandatory section-by-section rewrite plan and requires explicit approval before any edits occur.
  • Rubric-aligned rewrite patterns: Applies answer-first H2s, citation capsules, and info-gain markers per .rules/docs-rubric.md, without re-implementing scoring.
  • Research when claims need sources: Finds Tier 1-3 evidence for flagged unsourced assertions and either sources, removes, or reframes as original data/personal experience when appropriate.
  • Validate with rubric again: Re-runs docs-review after rewriting and rejects the rewrite if the score drops below the baseline.

Quick Start

Use the docs-rewrite skill to improve the document you are editing by running an audit, drafting an approved rewrite plan, applying rubric-aligned changes, and then re-running the audit to confirm the score increased.

FAQPage Schema
How do I improve technical documentation without losing original quality?▼

Technical documentation improvement can be achieved by running an audit-first workflow that captures a baseline quality score, drafts an approved rewrite plan, and rejects edits if the post-rewrite validation score drops.

What is the best way to rewrite an RFC or ADR while preserving technical accuracy?▼

Rewriting RFCs or ADRs requires an operator-controlled rewrite plan that applies rubric-aligned patterns, such as answer-first H2s and citation capsules, ensuring technical accuracy and structural clarity are preserved.

How do you audit and source unsourced claims in technical writing?▼

Auditing technical writing identifies unsourced assertions and finds Tier 1-3 evidence to source, remove, or reframe them as original data, ensuring all claims meet the required documentation quality rubric.

Can I automatically rewrite READMEs and architecture docs without manual review?▼

No, rewriting READMEs and architecture docs requires mandatory pre-edit operator approval, ensuring a section-by-section rewrite plan is explicitly accepted before any structural or clarity edits occur.

Does documentation rewriting prevent destructive changes to existing files?▼

Yes, documentation rewriting prevents destructive changes by running a read-only audit to capture the baseline state, then validating the rewritten document against that baseline to reject any score regressions.

When should I use an audit-then-validate workflow for docs review?▼

Use an audit-then-validate workflow for docs review when editing technical documents like CLAUDE.md files or blog posts that need strict clarity, evidence, and structure adjustments without regressing quality.
