Audit, write, and improve developer documentation using Google''s Developer Documentation Style Guide and Technical Writing courses. Use this skill for any documentation work, even when the user names no style guide: "audit our docs", "review this README", "write a README", "getting started guide", "how-to or tutorial", "API reference", "docstrings", "CLI help text", "changelog or release notes", "migration guide", or "our docs are confusing".

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
# Technical Documentation Audit, write, and improve developer documentation the way Google's technical writers do: start from the reader's task, verify every fact against the code, then apply the style guide in severity order — structure before voice, voice before word choice. ## Core Principle **Write for the reader's task, not the product's feature list.** Google's guide asks for prose that is conversational but not frivolous, precise, and consistent, because a developer reading docs is trying to get something done, not to admire the product.

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.
