Co-author structured documents (specs, PRDs, RFCs, proposals) in three stages: gather context, draft, reader-test. Use when writing a proposal, technical spec, or similar long-form document. Decision records → docs-adr.
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
# Doc Co-Authoring Workflow **Degree of freedom: MIXED.** What to ask and what to keep `[HIGH freedom]`; the three-stage order, six-step section loop, and Reader Testing `[LOW freedom — run exactly]`. a structured workflow for guiding users through collaborative document creation. Act as an active guide, walking users through three stages: Context Gathering, Refinement & Structure, and Reader Testing. > **Guiding principle — orient the reader before the mechanism.** Even a spec, PRD, or RFC should *open* by answering what this is, why it exists, and who it's for — in plain language — before diving into detail. That's the same reader-first instinct this workflow's Reader Testing stage enforces at the end; apply it from the first sentence. See `docs-writer` for the full "write for the reader's mental model first" rule. ## How to reason 1. **Observe** — doc type, audience, desired impact, template or existing draft 2. **Interpret** — what the next reader will lack that the authors already know 3. **Classify** — offer the workflow / work freeform / start at the highest-unknown section 4. **Test** — predict reader questions; a fresh instance must answer them from the doc alone …

How to install
mdr add kensaurus/skills/docs-coauthor@sha256:62583a9018e45b45The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.938ff43, 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.
