documentation-standards

Scaffolds issue docs, ADRs, README outlines, changelog entries, roadmap updates, Mermaid architecture diagrams using project templates. Use when drafting ADR, writing changelog, updating roadmap after a feature ships, creating README for a new library, or diagramming a system flow.

Quality

Content

92%

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

This is a strong, well-structured skill that provides concrete, copy-paste-ready templates for multiple documentation types. The documentation workflow section includes proper validation and feedback loops. The main weakness is that progressive disclosure could be improved—the inline templates add bulk, and the two referenced files cannot be verified against a bundle.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The content is lean and template-driven. It avoids explaining what ADRs, changelogs, or Mermaid diagrams are—it assumes Claude knows and just provides the templates and conventions. Every section earns its place with concrete structure rather than explanation.

3 / 3

Actionability

Each section provides copy-paste-ready markdown templates with specific field names, concrete examples (e.g., the roadmap entry with actual values, the Mermaid flowchart, the changelog format), and executable validation commands. The guidance is specific and directly usable.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The 'Documentation workflow' section provides a clear 5-step sequence with an explicit validation checkpoint (step 2) that includes a concrete command, a feedback loop (fail → fix → re-run), and a pre-merge checklist. This covers the destructive/batch concern well.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill references two external files (docs-structure.md and WRITING-GUIDE.md) which is good progressive disclosure, but no bundle files were provided to verify these exist. The main content is well-structured with clear sections, but the templates are all inline rather than split into separate reference files, which is borderline for this volume of content.

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 enumerates specific document types it can produce, uses natural trigger terms that users would actually say, and includes an explicit 'Use when...' clause with concrete scenarios. The description is concise yet comprehensive, covering both capabilities and activation triggers without unnecessary verbosity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions: scaffolding issue docs, ADRs, README outlines, changelog entries, roadmap updates, and Mermaid architecture diagrams. These are all distinct, well-defined deliverables.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (scaffolds issue docs, ADRs, README outlines, changelog entries, roadmap updates, Mermaid diagrams using project templates) and 'when' with an explicit 'Use when...' clause listing specific trigger scenarios like drafting ADR, writing changelog, updating roadmap, creating README, or diagramming.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes strong natural keywords users would say: 'ADR', 'changelog', 'roadmap', 'README', 'Mermaid', 'architecture diagrams', 'issue docs', 'diagramming a system flow', 'feature ships'. These cover common variations of how users would phrase requests.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche around project documentation artifacts (ADRs, changelogs, roadmaps, READMEs, Mermaid diagrams). The combination of these specific document types with 'project templates' makes it highly distinguishable from general documentation or coding skills.
