Can I use my own document templates?

Yes, the workflow explicitly asks for templates or specific formats during the Context Gathering stage to ensure the output matches your organizational requirements.

Why shouldn't I just edit the document manually?

While you can edit directly, providing feedback to Claude within the workflow allows it to learn your preferences and writing style for subsequent sections.

Does it integrate with my existing tools?

Yes, if MCP servers or connectors (like Google Drive or Slack) are enabled in your environment, the skill can pull context directly from those sources.

What types of documents can this skill help with?

It is specifically designed for structured documents such as technical specs, PRDs, RFCs, design docs, and detailed project proposals.

How does the Reader Testing stage work?

Claude simulates a 'fresh reader' with no prior context to identify confusing sections or missing information that a new teammate might encounter.
