docs-writer
Keeps documentation in sync with the code: README, usage and related docs when a public API or behavior changes. Leaves no dead or misleading docs behind.
Overview
Keeps documentation in sync with the code: README, usage and related docs when a public API or behavior changes. Leaves no dead or misleading docs behind.

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
Documentation
Trigger phrases: "documentation", "docs", "update README", "API docs", "write docs", "document it", "write usage"
Goal: the docs must match the code. Wrong/stale docs are worse than no docs (they inspire trust and mislead). Trigger: when a public API, command, configuration, or user-visible behavior changes.
When it is mandatory
- A public function/endpoint/CLI signature or behavior changed.
- A new feature, configuration key, or environment variable was added.
- The install/run steps changed.
- A breaking change was made (also coordinate via
release/CHANGELOG).
Checklist
- Docs are up to date for the changed public surface
- Examples work (copy-paste tested / mentally traced)
- Dead/misleading wording removed (no leftover old name/parameter)
- New configuration/env documented (default + whether required)
- Scope minimal — not a repetition of the code, but "why/how to use it"
- No secret/real credential in the docs (use a placeholder)
How
- Identify the changed surface — extract the public signature/behavior diff from the diff.
- Find the right doc — README,
docs/, docstring, OpenAPI, command--help. If there is more than one, update them all. - Write: what it does · how it is called (example) · input/output · limits/error cases. Short and correct.
- Verify the examples — does the command/code example actually run.
- Clean up the old — delete references to removed APIs/parameters.
- Translation: if the user-visible doc is multilingual, coordinate with
i18n-integrity.
Principles
- Single source — behavior lives in the code; the doc explains it, does not copy it (a copied doc goes stale).
- Example > paragraph — a working example beats three paragraphs.
- Minimal — don't write a giant doc no one will maintain; answer the most-asked question.
Co-authoring a longer doc (guide, tutorial, README rewrite)
For a substantial doc the content lives in the author's head, not the diff — don't guess it. Interview for intent
and audience, draft in passes, and let the user steer before you polish. The collaborative workflow (audience/intent
questions, outline-first, section-by-section drafting, revision loop): references/coauthoring.md.
Invariant rules
- Correctness > completeness — don't write a wrong doc; if unsure, flag it/ask.
- Examples must work.
- Leave no stale/dead docs.
- No secret/real credential — use a placeholder (aligned with §4).
- Don't repeat the code — don't just copy the signature; explain the usage.

# Documentation
<!-- routing-eval reads this line; it lives in the BODY so the always-on skill LISTING stays inside
Claude Code's budget (1% of the context window) — an overflowing listing gets descriptions
truncated or dropped, which strips the very keywords a match depends on. -->
Trigger phrases: "documentation", "docs", "update README", "API docs", "write docs", "document it", "write usage"
Goal: the docs must **match the code**. Wrong/stale docs are worse than no docs (they inspire trust and mislead).
Trigger: when a public API, command, configuration, or user-visible behavior changes.
## When it is mandatory
- A public function/endpoint/CLI signature or behavior changed.
- A new feature, configuration key, or environment variable was added.
- The install/run steps changed.
- A breaking change was made (also coordinate via `release`/CHANGELOG).
## Checklist
- [ ] Docs are up to date for the changed public surface
- [ ] Examples **work** (copy-paste tested / mentally traced)
- [ ] Dead/misleading wording removed (no leftover old name/parameter)
- [ ] New configuration/env documented (default + whether required)
- [ ] Scope minimal — not a repetition of the code, but "why/how to use it"
- [ ] No secret/real credential in the docs (use a placeholder)
## How
1. **Identify the changed surface** — extract the public signature/behavior diff from the diff.
2. **Find the right doc** — README, `docs/`, docstring, OpenAPI, command `--help`. If there is more than one, update them all.
3. **Write**: what it does · how it is called (example) · input/output · limits/error cases. Short and correct.
4. **Verify the examples** — does the command/code example actually run.
5. **Clean up the old** — delete references to removed APIs/parameters.
6. **Translation**: if the user-visible doc is multilingual, coordinate with `i18n-integrity`.
## Principles
- **Single source** — behavior lives in the code; the doc *explains* it, does not copy it (a copied doc goes stale).
- **Example > paragraph** — a working example beats three paragraphs.
- **Minimal** — don't write a giant doc no one will maintain; answer the most-asked question.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Start with one small task
- 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
- 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
- 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
