What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps writers and engineers format Claude-facing documentation to enforce readable line lengths and correct YAML multi-line syntax, reducing manual reformatting and errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a 110-character line limit for Claude-facing documentation
  • Applies YAML frontmatter multi-line styling using folded (>) and literal (|) operators
  • Preserves code blocks, URLs, and tables to maintain structure while wrapping prose where appropriate
  • Works on common Claude-facing docs such as CLAUDE.md, docs/project/ protocol docs, and human-facing README notes

Quick Start

Copy and apply the guidelines to your CLAUDE.md and related docs. Example tasks include wrapping prose with > for long lines, keeping code blocks intact, and leaving URLs and tables unwrapped.
