Write or revise technical documentation around one reader job: reference, operation, review, decision, or product alignment. Use for READMEs, API docs, operational how-tos, RFCs, product design docs, architecture proposals, and ADRs.
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 Documentation Writer Write for the reader's job: what they came to understand, decide, or do. A technically correct doc that does not serve that job is still a failed doc. ## Boundaries - Use `blog` for publishable articles with an argument, story, or public-facing lesson. - The user-invoked `teach` skill owns persistent learning workspaces and HTML lessons. - Use this skill for reference docs, team proposals, decision records, READMEs, API docs, and how-to docs whose primary purpose is work, review, or operation. ## Workflow ### 1. Name the doc type and reader job Identify the document type before drafting: README, API docs, how-to, RFC or architecture proposal, product design doc, or ADR. Complete when: - the doc type is named - the primary audience is named - the reader job is stated as `Reader needs to <do/decide/understand> so they can <outcome>` - missing inputs are requested before drafting ### 2. Load the matching reference Use the routing table below. If a template or type-specific rule applies, load that reference before writing. Complete when the matching reference has been loaded, or no reference applies and that is stated. …

How to install
mdr add kriscard/skills/docs@sha256:fe8b32a10ee0bb96The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.bd8fc2d, 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.
