Technical Writing Specifications

About

The Writing Specifications skill enables Claude to act as a technical architect, creating structured and detailed documentation for features, systems, or architectural changes. By leveraging the Wrangler MCP issue management system, it guides the process from initial requirement gathering and ambiguity resolution through to the creation of a complete specification including architecture, security considerations, and success criteria. This ensures that implementation teams have clear, testable, and bounded guidance before a single line of code is written, reducing technical debt and misalignment.
