How does the Reader Testing phase work?

Claude simulates a 'fresh' reader with no prior context to identify blind spots, jargon, or missing information that might confuse your actual audience.

Does this skill work with my existing project files?

Absolutely. It can read local files, search connected documentation tools, and use MCP integrations to pull context from Slack or Google Drive.

What document types does this skill support?

It is optimized for structured content including technical specs, PRDs, decision docs (ADRs), RFCs, and project proposals.

Can I use my company's specific document templates?

Yes, the skill allows you to provide or link to existing templates during the Context Gathering stage to ensure the output matches your brand's standards.

This approach ensures that technical specifications, PRDs, and decision documents are not only well-written but also free of institutional blind spots and optimized for their intended audience.
