Write comprehensive technical documentation including user guides, how-to articles, system architecture docs, onboarding materials, and knowledge base articles. Creates clear, structured documentation for technical and non-technical audiences. Use when users need technical writing, documentation, tutorials, or knowledge base content.

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 Writer

Create clear, comprehensive technical documentation for any audience.

## Contents
- `references/templates.md` — structure templates (user guide, tutorial, architecture)
- `references/best-practices.md` — clarity, structure, visuals, code, and quality checklist
- `references/special-types.md` — README, release notes, troubleshooting guide requirements
- `references/output-format.md` — final delivery wrapper and maintenance notes

## Workflow

1. Identify the documentation type. See `references/special-types.md` for the full type list and type-specific section requirements.

2. Determine the audience:
   - Technical level (beginner, intermediate, expert)
   - Role (end user, developer, admin, stakeholder)
   - Prior knowledge assumptions
   - Context (internal team, external customers, open source community)

3. Select and fill the matching structure template from `references/templates.md`. Start simple, then layer in complexity.

4. Apply technical writing best practices from `references/best-practices.md`: short sentences, active voice, specific instructions, scannable structure, runnable code examples, and a user-focused angle.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add onewave-ai/claude-skills/technical-writer@sha256:6f95f1adbffcd784

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260608.d82d20f, 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.
