What document types does this skill support?

It is optimized for structured content like technical specs, RFCs, PRDs, decision logs, and project proposals, but can be adapted for any formal document.

Does it edit my files directly?

Yes, it uses file manipulation tools to create and update a markdown scaffold in your workspace based on the iterative feedback you provide.

How does Reader Testing work?

It uses a fresh Claude instance to review the document without prior context, simulating a first-time reader to catch missing information or logical gaps.

Can I use my own templates?

Yes, the skill explicitly asks for existing templates or formats during the initial context gathering phase to ensure compliance with your standards.

How do I trigger this workflow?
