Write professional technical documents — requirements/PRD, tech spec/design doc, low-level design, decision records, and trade-off analysis — at a formality tier matched to the task. Grounds every claim in real code or a cited source, marks what it could not verify, and refuses to pad. Use when asked to write/update a spec, requirements, design doc, LLD, ADR, RFC, or technical analysis.
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
> **AI-consumed reference.** Optimized for Claude to read during execution.
# Technical Writing
Produce documents a reviewer can **act on and argue with** — not filled-in templates.
> **Evidence policy for this skill itself.** Almost everything below is **CONVENTION** with an
> authoritative primary source, NOT measured efficacy. No study shows these structures produce better
> outcomes. The three places carrying real measurement are marked **[MEASURED]**. Never present
> convention as research-backed — that is the first thing this skill exists to stop.

## Step 0 — Refuse to write blind
Run `rules/core/prompt-validation.md` (6-dimension gate) BEFORE writing. Below threshold → ask the
1–2 weakest dimensions, do not guess. A doc written from guesses is worse than no doc: it looks
authoritative and is wrong.
Then answer three questions **in the output header**, so the reader sees the frame:
```toon
frame[3]{question,why}:
Who reads this and what decision do they make with it?,"No audience ⇒ no way to judge detail level"
What is ALREADY true (code/system) vs PROPOSED?,"The #1 source of misleading specs"
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add nguyenthienthanh/aura-frog/tech-writing@sha256:6753cb7bef034bbbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.1abbaa0, 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.
