technical-writing SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

technical-writing from khaledsaeed18/dotclaude is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Write and edit developer documentation, guides, design notes, and engineering blog posts with a working writer's discipline: audience and purpose first, one idea per paragraph, examples before abstractions, precise verbs, consistent terms, and structure the reader can scan. Includes formats for how-to guides, reference pages, explanations, and tutorials, and an editing checklist. Use when writing docs, a design note, a release announcement, or a post, or when a draft is accurate but nobody can…

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 writing succeeds when a specific reader can do a specific thing after reading. Decide who the reader is and what they are trying to do before writing a heading. Every later choice (structure, depth, examples, tone) follows from that.

## Before drafting

- **Reader**: their role, what they already know, what they are trying to do, how much time they have. "A backend developer integrating our API for the first time, in an afternoon" beats "developers".
- **Purpose**: teach a skill (tutorial), get a task done (how-to), look something up (reference), or understand why (explanation). Mixing two in one page produces a page that serves neither. Split.
- **Outcome**: the sentence the reader should be able to say afterwards: "I can rotate an API key without downtime."

## The four document types

**Tutorial** (learning-oriented): a guaranteed-to-work path from nothing to a result. Numbered steps, every command shown, expected output shown, no choices offered, no explanations beyond one line ("this creates the config file"). Test it end to end on a clean machine.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/technical-writing@sha256:3262c0d6e4228acf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.b628018, 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.
