Can I use this skill to write internal documentation?

Yes, it is highly effective for internal guides because it explains the reasoning and trade-offs behind technical decisions, making it easier for team members to understand complex systems.

Why does this skill avoid using dashes and em-dashes?

This is a stylistic constraint designed to produce a specific flow and rhythm in the writing, forcing clearer sentence structures and a more deliberate conversational tone.

What makes the Technical Writer skill different from standard AI writing?

Unlike generic AI content, this skill uses a specific 'senior developer' persona that focuses on narrative, opinionated guidance, and real-world pragmatism rather than just dry facts.

How do I trigger the technical writing persona in Claude Code?

You can trigger it using natural language prompts such as 'write a blog post about', 'tutorial about', or 'explain how to' followed by your specific topic.

About

The Technical Content Writer skill empowers Claude to produce high-quality documentation, tutorials, and blog posts using the distinctive Flatiron School style. It focuses on a 'strong opinions, loosely held' philosophy, delivering content that is technically authoritative yet refreshingly human. This skill is ideal for developers who want to share knowledge through 'in-the-trenches' storytelling, using structured pedagogical techniques like the 'Let's Break It' method and 'Production Reality Checks.' It transforms dry technical explanations into compelling narratives that explain not just the 'what,' but the 'why' behind the code, all while maintaining a specific stylistic constraint of avoiding dashes for cleaner prose.
