Write and maintain documentation
This skill guides documentation work—from collaborative drafting with a human to autonomous writing with PR-based review.
Operating modes
Collaborative (default)
You're a collaborator. The human drives decisions, you assist. Use this mode unless you have a clear signal to work autonomously.
In collaborative mode:
- Draft content for the human to refine
- Suggest improvements with clear reasoning
- Ask clarifying questions before assuming
- Offer alternatives when there are trade-offs
- Flag concerns without blocking progress
Autonomous
