What this skill does
Documentation Skill Ensures all documentation follows project standards and prevents redundant files. Purpose This skill provides tools and workflows for efficient documentation management: Section-level interaction scripts (search, get, update without reading full files) Document templates for consistent structure Workflows for common documentation tasks Rules and standards to prevent redundancy When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: Creating new documentation for features, screens, or architecture Updating existing documentation after code changes Finding and consolidating duplicate documentation Splitting large documentation files (>500 lines) Searching for specific information in docs Checking documentation quality and compliance Core Principles 1. DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) Check for existing documentation before creating new files Update existing docs instead of creating duplicates Consolidate related information into single files 2. Screen-Based Organization 3. Size Limits Maximum 500 lines per file Split files approaching limit (>450 lines) Keep documents focused and scannable How to Use This Skill Step 1: Check for Existing Documentation Use scripts for efficient search (80-98% context reduction): Complete script documentation: See scripts/README.md Step 2: Determine Action If similar documentation exists: Load workflow: references/workflows/update-existing.md Use doc-get-section.sh to read only relevant section Update section with doc-update-section.sh If creating new documentation: Load workflow: references/workflows/create-screen.md Load template: assets/templates/screen-readme.md or assets/templates/screen-technical.md Follow template structure If file is too large (>450 lines): Load workflow: references/workflows/split-large-file.md If duplicates found: Load workflow: references/workflows/consolidate-duplicates.md Step 3: Validate Against Rules Load reference file: references/rules.md Check: ✅ No duplicate content exists ✅ File under 500 lines ✅ …
