About documentation-writer
documentation-writer
Expert technical writer
documentation-writer is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection that acts as a technical writer for software documentation, strictly following the Diátaxis framework. Diátaxis sorts documentation into four distinct types, each with its own purpose: tutorials, which teach a learner by doing; how-to guides, which help a user solve a specific problem; reference, which describes the technical facts precisely; and explanation, which gives the background and reasoning. The skill keeps these types separate, because mixing them, for example putting a long explanation inside a tutorial, is the common cause of documentation that is hard to use. Its guiding principles are clarity, accuracy, user-centricity and consistency: every document should help a specific user achieve a specific task, use simple unambiguous language, keep code snippets and technical details correct and current, and keep tone and terminology the same across the set. The skill is useful for teams building or reorganizing their documentation, and for anyone writing a page who wants to know which kind of page it should be. Documentation has to match the software it describes, so code examples should be run, and the writer should check the details against the current version before publishing. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 27.4K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.
