How does it handle documentation maintenance?

The skill enforces rules that require documentation to be updated incrementally as part of any behavior changes in the code, preventing documentation rot.

Does it provide structural templates?

Yes, it includes specific structural guidelines for Feature Docs (use cases, config, examples) and Architecture Docs (components, data flows, trade-offs).

What is the preferred file format for this skill?

All documentation is generated and managed using Markdown (.md) to ensure compatibility across repositories and documentation platforms.

What documentation types does this skill support?

It supports three main types: user-facing documentation for features/usage, internal documentation for architecture/decisions, and inline comments for implementation details.

Learning & Documentation

Standardizes the creation and maintenance of technical documentation to ensure consistency across user guides, architecture logs, and inline code comments.

About

The Documentation Standards skill provides a comprehensive framework for producing high-quality technical documentation within Claude Code. It establishes clear protocols for distinguishing between user-facing guides and internal developer notes, ensuring that each audience receives the appropriate level of detail. By enforcing specific style guidelines—such as the use of active voice and the avoidance of jargon—and defining structured templates for features and architecture, this skill helps teams maintain a professional and up-to-date knowledge base that evolves synchronously with the codebase.

Key Features

Structured templates for feature documentation and architecture overviews
Standardized Markdown formatting including heading levels and code blocks
Mandatory maintenance rules to keep docs updated with behavior changes
Defined standards for user-facing vs. internal developer documentation
Style and tone enforcement for clear, concise, and active-voice writing
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Generating consistent user manuals that explain features without exposing source code
Creating internal architecture docs that capture system rationale and technical trade-offs
Automating the maintenance of README files and inline comments during code refactoring
