Documentation Standards Skill

This skill guides AI agents on how to maintain and update documentation when making code changes.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• You're implementing a new feature and need to know which docs to update
• You're fixing a bug that affects user-facing behavior
• You're changing command APIs or signatures
• You're creating new templates or workflows
• You need clarity on documentation standards and structure

Key Principles

1. Documentation is Part of the Feature — Update docs in the same commit as code changes
2. No Historical Context — Keep all .md files clean, forward-facing only
3. Specification First — docs/SPECIFICATION.md is the source of truth
4. Clear Audience Separation — User-facing vs. developer-facing sections
5. Link Consistency — All references point to current locations
