Writes user-facing help-center articles - verb-first how-to guides, symptom-organized troubleshooting pages, and FAQs - with one task per article, exact UI labels, and a stated success result. Use when someone asks "write a help article for...", "document how users reset their password", "turn these support tickets into a troubleshooting page", or "our help center articles are confusing, rewrite this one". Do NOT use for internal team procedures and SOPs - use process-doc instead; for on-call…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Help Documentation The reader of a help article arrives stuck, impatient, and looking for one specific answer; the job is to get them unstuck fast.

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/help-documentation@sha256:7ab3557cfc9318c2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
