diataxis

Structure, classify, and write documentation using the Diátaxis framework. Use when writing docs, README files, guides, tutorials, how-to guides, API references, or organizing documentation architecture. Also use when asked to improve documentation, restructure docs, decide what type of doc to write, or classify existing content. Covers tutorials, how-to guides, reference, and explanation.

Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is an exceptionally well-structured skill that exemplifies good documentation practices while teaching them. It's concise yet comprehensive, with a clear classification framework (the compass), actionable principles for each doc type, a worked example, and a common mistakes table. The progressive disclosure to reference files is well-organized and clearly signaled.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The content is lean and efficient. It doesn't explain what documentation is or what Claude already knows. Every section serves a purpose — the matrix, bullet points, and tables are all information-dense with no padding.

3 / 3

Actionability

The skill provides concrete, specific guidance: a classification compass with two clear questions, bullet-point principles for each doc type, a worked example showing the full decision process, and a common mistakes table with specific fixes. While there's no code (appropriate for an instruction-only skill), the guidance is highly actionable.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The 'How To Apply' section provides a clear 5-step sequence for classifying and writing documentation. The compass provides a decision framework. The worked example demonstrates the workflow end-to-end. This isn't a destructive/batch operation, so validation checkpoints aren't critical, but the 'check for type mixing' step serves as a validation checkpoint.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Excellent progressive disclosure structure. The main file provides a concise overview with actionable bullet points for each type, then clearly signals 12 reference files for deep dives in a well-organized table. References are one level deep and clearly named. However, no bundle files were provided to verify the referenced paths exist.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

This is a strong skill description that clearly communicates what the skill does (structure, classify, and write docs using the Diátaxis framework), when to use it (with a comprehensive list of trigger scenarios), and what makes it distinct (the Diátaxis framework specificity). It uses proper third-person voice, includes abundant natural trigger terms, and provides explicit 'Use when' guidance covering both primary and secondary use cases.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'structure', 'classify', 'write documentation', 'improve documentation', 'restructure docs', 'decide what type of doc to write', 'classify existing content'. Also names the specific framework (Diátaxis) and the four document types it covers.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (structure, classify, and write documentation using the Diátaxis framework) and 'when' with explicit triggers ('Use when writing docs, README files, guides...' and 'Also use when asked to improve documentation, restructure docs...'). The 'Use when' clause is explicit and comprehensive.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'docs', 'README files', 'guides', 'tutorials', 'how-to guides', 'API references', 'documentation architecture', 'restructure docs', 'improve documentation'. These are all terms users would naturally use when seeking documentation help.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Diátaxis framework is a specific, well-defined niche that clearly distinguishes this from generic writing or coding skills. The focus on documentation structure, classification, and the four Diátaxis categories (tutorials, how-to guides, reference, explanation) creates a distinct identity unlikely to conflict with other skills.
