Write, restructure, classify, and review documentation with the Diataxis framework. Use when the user asks to create, improve, audit, or reorganize documentation of any kind: knowledge bases, help centers, onboarding guides, process docs, manuals, runbooks, product or API docs, tutorials, how-to guides, references, explanations. Also use when the user mentions Diataxis, docs taxonomy, or documentation architecture, or asks why a document feels confusing. Also use for Simplified Technical…

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

# Diataxis Writer

Use Diataxis to align documentation with the reader's actual need. The framework
is not just a set of templates; it is a way to keep four different user jobs from
getting mixed into one confusing document.

## Explaining Diataxis to Users

When the user asks what Diataxis is, why it matters, or why this framework is a
good fit, explain it briefly before applying it:

Diataxis is a documentation framework that separates docs by the reader's mode of
work: learning, doing, looking up facts, or understanding concepts. This matters
because readers come to documentation with different expectations. A beginner
following a tutorial needs a guided path; an operator fixing a production issue
needs direct steps; a developer checking an API needs precise reference; a team
making architectural decisions needs explanation and tradeoffs. Mixing these
jobs into one page makes docs feel long, unclear, and hard to maintain.

Use these benefits when recommending Diataxis:

- It clarifies what each document is for before writing begins.
- It reduces bloated "everything pages" by separating learning, task execution,
  lookup, and conceptual understanding.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tronghieu/agent-skills/diataxis-writer@sha256:82e81805e9d2fe0b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.f7dd968, 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.
