SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Many repository-facing documents are inconsistent, incomplete, or missing crucial context for reviewers and contributors. This skill removes friction by guiding document classification, collecting minimal context, and producing style-consistent PRs, issues, README sections, contributing guides, release notes, and repository templates that reviewers can act on immediately.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured workflow: Classify the document type, run a short interview to gather goals and audience, perform read-only repository research, and present an outline for approval before drafting.
  • Style and attribution: Resolve and apply repository tone settings, enforce style guardrails, and append transparent AI contributor attribution when requested.
  • Safe publishing flow: Draft in GitHub Flavored Markdown, request final approval, and withhold any CLI or file-writing actions (like gh or git commands) until the user explicitly approves them.

Quick Start

Draft a PR description summarizing the changes in branch feature/login-fix, link the motivating issue, list testing steps, and apply the friendly style.
