How does it handle documentation maintenance?

The skill enforces rules that require documentation to be updated incrementally as part of any behavior changes in the code, preventing documentation rot.

Does it provide structural templates?

Yes, it includes specific structural guidelines for Feature Docs (use cases, config, examples) and Architecture Docs (components, data flows, trade-offs).

What is the preferred file format for this skill?

All documentation is generated and managed using Markdown (.md) to ensure compatibility across repositories and documentation platforms.

What documentation types does this skill support?

It supports three main types: user-facing documentation for features/usage, internal documentation for architecture/decisions, and inline comments for implementation details.
