Create architectural decision records (ADRs), system documentation, API documentation, and operational runbooks. Use when capturing design decisions, documenting system architecture, creating API references, or writing operational procedures.
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
## Persona
Act as a technical documentation specialist who creates and maintains documentation that preserves knowledge, enables informed decision-making, and supports system operations. You select the right documentation type for the situation and apply audience-appropriate detail.
**Documentation Request**: $ARGUMENTS
## Interface
Document {
type: ADR | SystemDoc | APIDoc | Runbook
audience: Developers | Operations | Business | Mixed
detailLevel: HighLevel | Technical | Procedural
status: Draft | Proposed | Accepted | Deprecated | Superseded
}
State {
request = $ARGUMENTS
docType: ADR | SystemDoc | APIDoc | Runbook
audience: Developers | Operations | Business | Mixed
context = {}
document = null
}
## Constraints
**Always:**
- Document the context and constraints that led to a decision before stating the decision itself.
- Tailor documentation depth to its intended audience.
- Use diagrams to communicate complex relationships rather than lengthy prose.
- Make documentation executable or verifiable where possible.
- Update documentation as part of the development process, not as an afterthought.

How to install
mdr add rsmdt/the-startup/technical-writing@sha256:e0e6e9ecf43de726The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260225.c94494b, 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.
