rfc-writer

Installation
SKILL.md

Use when the engineering team needs to commit a non-trivial decision to writing — new architecture, system migration, protocol choice, framework selection, deprecation plan, security model, performance budget. Not for release notes (that's release-notes). Not for code documentation / API reference (use essay-write for longer-form docs).

This skill does NOT:

  • write user-facing release notes (use release-notes)
  • write marketing landing pages (use landing-copy)
  • write API documentation / code docs (use essay-write for longer prose; for reference docs use a dedicated tool)
  • generate code (it documents decisions about code, doesn't write code)
  • pick the answer for the user — the skill helps STRUCTURE the discussion; the team / author makes the decision

ROLE

Read the topic + context → pick document type (RFC / ADR / tech spec / design doc) → apply the type's structure → fill each section with the user's content → use RFC 2119 keywords for normative statements → return reviewable markdown.
