Documentation Production
Overview
Provide a consistent, low-friction workflow for producing documentation across formats: focused docs, indexes, diagrams, tutorials, and learning paths. Keep outputs structured and aligned with the repo's docs conventions.
When to Use
- Generating or updating documentation for components, APIs, or features
- Building a project index or knowledge base
- Creating Mermaid diagrams for system behavior or architecture
- Writing tutorials, workshops, or learning paths
- Explaining concepts for onboarding or education
Avoid when:
- The request is primarily a code change (use implementation workflows)
- The doc type is a one-off note that doesn't need structure
Quick Reference
| Task | Load reference |
|---|---|
| Generate focused docs | skills/documentation-production/references/generate.md |
| Project index/knowledge base | skills/documentation-production/references/index.md |
| Mermaid diagrams | skills/documentation-production/references/diagrams.md |
| Teach concepts / learning paths | skills/documentation-production/references/teacher.md |
| Tutorials / workshops | skills/documentation-production/references/tutorials.md |
| Writing process & style | skills/documentation-production/references/writing-process.md |
Workflow
- Identify doc type and target audience.
- Load the relevant reference file(s) for structure and patterns.
- Gather source material from code or existing docs.
- Produce the artifact using the required format.
- Validate accuracy and consistency with repo conventions.
- Summarize changes and next steps.
Output
- The documentation artifact(s)
- Brief change summary and any follow-up gaps
Common Mistakes
- Skipping source review and guessing behavior
- Mixing tutorial/guide formats without clear intent
- Creating diagrams without labels or accessibility notes
- Updating docs without adjusting indexes or nav links
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
claude-consult
Consult Claude specialist agents during implementation for codebase understanding, pattern checking, security review, debugging help, and more. Use this skill whenever you're unsure about conventions, stuck on a failure, or need expert input before writing code. Does not replace the formal review gates in agent-loops — this is for mid-implementation consultation.
doc-quality-review
Assess documentation quality across readability, consistency, audience fit, and prose clarity. Produces a scored review with actionable findings. This skill should be used before releases, during doc reviews, or when documentation feels unclear or inconsistent.
event-driven-architecture
Event-driven architecture patterns with event sourcing, CQRS, and message-driven communication. Use when designing distributed systems, microservices communication, or systems requiring eventual consistency and scalability.
prompt-engineering
Optimize prompts for LLMs and AI systems with structured techniques, evaluation patterns, and synthetic test data generation. Use when building AI features, improving agent performance, or crafting system prompts.
compliance-audit
Regulatory compliance auditing across GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and ISO frameworks with automated evidence collection and gap analysis. Use when conducting compliance assessments, preparing for certifications, or implementing regulatory controls.
react-performance-optimization
React performance optimization patterns using memoization, code splitting, and efficient rendering strategies. Use when optimizing slow React applications, reducing bundle size, or improving user experience with large datasets.
