What types of documents can I create with this skill?

You can create technical specs, RFCs, PRDs, design docs, decision logs, and any structured professional proposals.

Can I use my own document templates?

Yes, the skill allows you to provide a template or specify a format, which it then uses to scaffold the initial document structure.

What is Reader Testing in this context?

It simulates a fresh reader to verify if the document is self-explanatory, catching confusing terminology or missing logic before you share it with colleagues.

Does it edit existing documents or create new ones?

It can do both. It creates initial scaffolds as files or artifacts and then performs surgical edits to refine specific sections based on your feedback.

How does the Context Gathering stage work?

Claude asks targeted questions and accepts info dumps or integrates with tools like Slack and Google Drive to fully understand your project before drafting.
