Can I use it to generate changelogs?

Yes, it specifically checks for changelog conventions like Changesets or CHANGELOG.md files to generate accurate release notes based on the actual code changes.

Does it handle both user-facing and internal documentation?

Absolutely. It identifies impacts on both product surfaces (API, CLI, UI) and internal surfaces (architecture docs, runbooks, and coding standards).

Can it follow my repository's specific writing style?

Yes. It automatically searches for documentation-specific skills, STYLE_GUIDE.md, and existing documentation patterns to ensure new content matches your repo's tone and format.

How does the Docs skill know what to document?

It builds a 'world model' of your changes by analyzing PR diffs, SPEC files, or git history. It traces the transitive impact of code changes to see how they affect everything from UI guides to internal architecture.
