Use when starting a new project, onboarding to an existing product, or auditing an existing folder structure against the standard. Scaffolds the 16-document set, folder structure, project memory and doc-sync config.

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

# Project Docs — Standard Document Ecosystem

## Purpose

Every project needs the same core set of interconnected documents. This skill scaffolds a complete documentation ecosystem from day one so that:

- Nothing gets lost between meetings, decisions, and deliverables
- Every document has a clear owner, purpose, and update trigger
- The doc-sync watcher can automatically detect when documents go stale
- New team members can onboard by reading the folder structure alone

## When to Use

- `/project-docs init` — Scaffold a new project from scratch
- `/project-docs init --type consulting` — Use consulting template (meetings-heavy)
- `/project-docs init --type product` — Use product template (PRD-heavy)
- `/project-docs init --type implementation` — Use implementation template (vendor + config)
- `/project-docs audit` — Check an existing project against the standard and report gaps

## The Standard Document Set

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add coco-research/coco/project-docs@sha256:4fa7a6bf4d392350

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.e75f220, 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.
