SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Project documentation drifts out of date and becomes disorganized over time. This Skill focuses an AI assistant exclusively on documentation files so README files, guides, and reference docs stay accurate, well-structured, and easy to scan without touching source code. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Scoped documentation editing: Restricts all analysis and edits to Markdown and text files (.md/.txt), explicitly excluding code. - Structured doc improvements: Applies relative links, scannable structure, and proper heading hierarchy to README files, guides, and reference docs. - Guardrailed changes: Proposes documentation changes first and follows commit guardrails only after approval. - Use Case: Ask it to update the root README for a new valuations feature or reorganize docs/runbooks, and it loads the relevant docs cache and agent instructions before proposing edits. ## Quick Start Invoke /readme-specialist and ask it to update the root README to document the valuations feature.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update a project README with an AI assistant?▼

Invoke /readme-specialist with a target such as 'update root README for valuations'. The Skill loads relevant docs context, reads the agent instructions, and proposes structured Markdown changes limited to documentation files.

How to organize scattered project docs and runbooks?▼

Ask the Skill to organize docs/runbooks or similar areas. It reviews existing guides and reference Markdown files, then proposes a scannable structure with proper headings and relative links.

Can this Skill edit source code files?▼

No. The Skill is explicitly scoped to documentation files only (.md and .txt). Its instructions state it must not analyze or edit code, keeping all changes within project documentation.

Does the Skill commit documentation changes automatically?▼

No. It proposes changes first and only follows commit guardrails if the changes are approved. This keeps documentation edits reviewable before anything is committed.

What are the limitations of a documentation-only assistant?▼

It cannot verify technical accuracy against actual code behavior since it does not analyze source files. For API references tied to implementation, pair doc updates with a separate code review step.
