Documentation Practices | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Reference for writing effective technical documentation — matching document type to purpose (reference, design doc, tutorial, conceptual), knowing your audience, and treating docs as a maintained artifact rather than a one-time write. Use this whenever the user is writing a README, design doc, API reference, tutorial, or any technical documentation, deciding what kind of doc a situation calls for, or complaining that existing docs are stale, confusing, or unused.
