Documentation Patterns

Use this skill when the main problem is document shape and consistency rather than writing quality alone.

Activation Conditions

  • Creating a new API, feature, or config guide
  • Standardizing Markdown sections across repositories
  • Writing migration or runbook documents
  • Picking the right template for a doc request

Pattern Selection

  • API docs: endpoints, auth, request and response schema, errors
  • Feature docs: purpose, UX, dependencies, rollout, support
  • Config docs: env vars, defaults, examples, failure modes
  • Migration docs: changed behavior, upgrade path, verification

Scripts
