Builds a maintained library of reusable document templates for a team - frequency-based selection, four-part template anatomy, style and naming conventions, and a quarterly maintenance protocol. Use when someone asks "set up document templates for my team", "our docs are all formatted differently", "create a standard template for status reports or proposals", or "how do we keep templates from going stale". Do NOT use for designing Notion databases and their properties - use notion-database…
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
# Document Template System A template is not a filled-out document with blanks - it is a decision made once so the team never makes it again. The costly failure is the over-built system: twenty templates nobody uses, each slightly stale, until authors quietly revert to copying last quarter's doc and the formatting drift returns. The best template systems are small, self-explanatory, and maintained by one named person. ## Operating procedure Audit before building, build before standardizing, standardize before naming - each step's output is the next step's input. ### Step 1: Audit what the team actually produces List the top 10 document types by frequency (count real docs from the last quarter; do not poll people on what they think they write). Build templates only for the top 5. Attempting to template everything produces a system nobody uses - every template below the frequency line is pure maintenance debt. For each of the top 5 candidates, answer three questions before designing anything: - Who authors this document, and how often? - Who reads it, and what do they do with it? (A doc that drives a decision is structured differently from a doc that records one.) …

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/document-template-system@sha256:1692c10d4d00dd74The 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.
