Description
hads is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection for writing technical documentation that is readable by both humans and AI models, using the HADS format. HADS, the Human-AI Document Standard, is a documentation convention released as version 1.0.0 in 2026. The skill teaches an agent to read, generate and validate HADS documents, and it covers converting existing documentation into the HADS format. The format is built so that a person can read the document normally while a model can find the structured parts it needs, which is the point of the standard. The skill is meant for technical writers and engineers who maintain documentation that both people and AI tools rely on, such as API references, internal guides and project documents. It applies when writing new technical documentation for that dual audience, converting existing docs to HADS, and validating a document against the standard. The skill is one of the wshobson/agents skills and is installed with the skills CLI from that repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 6.4K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan. Because the standard is specific, check a converted document against the validation step before relying on it.…
