Can I generate diagrams with this documentation skill?

Yes, this skill is designed to work alongside Mermaid visualization tools to include architecture and flow diagrams within your markdown documentation.

How does this skill improve my project's README?

It shifts the focus from listing features to solving user tasks, ensuring that critical information like warnings and prerequisites are at the top and instructions are actionable.

Does it follow specific formatting standards?

Yes, it enforces standards such as sentence-case headings, a maximum of three heading levels, and mandatory language tags for all code blocks to ensure consistency.

What is progressive disclosure in technical documentation?

Progressive disclosure is a method of layering information so users see high-level summaries first, followed by quick-start guides, and finally deep API references and architecture details.

How does task-oriented writing differ from feature-oriented writing?

Feature-oriented writing describes what a class or function is, while task-oriented writing describes how a user can achieve a specific goal using that class or function.
