Write, restructure, or audit documentation using the Diátaxis framework (tutorial, how-to guide, reference, explanation). Use when writing or reorganising a README, docs site, or publishing docs for a repo or a collection of skills; when a doc page mixes teaching, instructions, specs and background; when someone asks "where should this go", "why is our README a mess", "write a getting-started", "document this skill/CLI/API", or mentions Diátaxis/Diataxis, docs structure, or docs IA, even if…
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
# writing-docs-with-diataxis Every section below ends with `Source:` tags. Keys resolve to diataxis.fr pages in the list at the bottom; `evidence.md` says how strong each source is. Anything tagged `[repo judgment]` is not Diátaxis and must not be presented as such. Diátaxis (Daniele Procida) solves problems of documentation content (what to write), style (how to write it) and architecture (how to organise it). It identifies four distinct user needs and four corresponding forms of documentation, and "crossing or blurring the boundaries ... is at the heart of a vast number of problems in documentation." Most doc problems are two needs smeared onto one page. Source: [Home] [Start] [Map] [Colophon] ## 1. The compass: classify before you write or edit Ask two questions of the content (or of what the reader needs): 1. **Action or cognition?** Does it inform what the user *does* (practical steps) or what they *know* (theoretical, propositional knowledge)? 2. **Acquisition or application?** Is the user at *study* or at *work*? | If the content... | ...and serves the user's... | ...it is | | --- | --- | --- | …

How to install
mdr add the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer/writing-docs-with-diataxis@sha256:4eda959fb920441eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.4e81828, 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.
