XIP Writing Skill

This skill is the writing reference for XerahS Improvement Proposals (XIPs) that are actionable, well-structured, and aligned with project architecture.

Workflow: GitHub is the source of truth for XIPs; docs/proposals/xip/ is a generated backup. Use this file for structure and writing rules. Use sync-xips for create/edit/sync workflows.

What is a XIP?

A XIP (XerahS Improvement Proposal) is a design document that:

• Describes a new feature, enhancement, or architectural change
• Provides implementation guidance for developers
• Serves as the single source of truth for the feature scope
• Links to a GitHub issue for tracking
