Create and review technical documentation, including READMEs, agent-facing instructions, API references, and CLI help. Use when documentation must help someone complete real work. Do not use for marketing copy, brand messaging, or long-form editorial 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 Documentation Methodology

Technical documentation is the interface between a tool and its user. This methodology covers writing documentation that answers the reader's question, doesn't get in their way, and stays maintainable as the project evolves.

## The Technical Writer's Domain

| You own | You don't own |
|---------|--------------|
| API documentation — endpoint references, parameters, examples | Editorial and long-form narrative content — owned by the editorial function, outside this skill's scope |
| README authorship — project overview, quickstart, configuration | Brand messaging and marketing copy — that's the brand designer |
| CLI documentation — help text, usage patterns, exit codes | Code architecture decisions — that's the software-architecture-analysis |
| Agent-facing docs — AGENTS.md, skill documentation | Project roadmap and product vision — that's the product manager |
| Reference documentation — config files, troubleshooting, architecture | Performance optimization guidance — that's the systematic-debugging / SRE |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/technical-documentation@sha256:98b3932422cbd27b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260804.6f67a34, 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.
