Why draft section-by-section?

This iterative approach allows for more granular feedback and ensures the AI learns your style and priorities as the document evolves, leading to better overall coherence.

Does this skill integrate with external tools?

Yes, it can pull context from connected tools like Slack, Google Drive, or SharePoint if MCP servers are enabled in your environment.

Can I use my own document templates?

Yes, the workflow allows you to provide existing templates or specific formats during the Context Gathering phase to ensure the output matches your requirements.

How does the Reader Testing stage work?

It utilizes a sub-agent with no prior context to read the draft and identify areas that are confusing or lack sufficient background for a new reader.

What types of documents can this skill help with?

It is designed for structured content like technical specs, PRDs, RFCs, design docs, and project proposals.
