Does it support external context from Slack or Google Drive?

Yes, if you have MCP connectors or integrations enabled, the skill can pull in project context directly from your messaging and storage apps.

Will Claude edit my files directly?

The skill uses surgical edits (str_replace) to update your document section-by-section, allowing for precise control over the drafting process.

How does the 'Reader Testing' stage work?

The skill simulates a reader with zero prior context to identify 'blind spots'—concepts that make sense to the author but might confuse a fresh pair of eyes.

Can I use my organization's existing document templates?

Yes. During the Context Gathering stage, you can provide a template or link to an existing document for the skill to follow.

What types of documents can I create with this skill?

The workflow is optimized for technical specs, PRDs, RFCs, decision docs, and any structured business or engineering proposals.

About

This skill transforms Claude into an expert writing partner for technical documentation, proposals, and specifications. By guiding users through a disciplined workflow of context gathering, section-by-section refinement, and 'Reader Testing' using fresh Claude instances, it ensures that documents are not only comprehensive but also optimized for both human readers and AI agents. It handles everything from initial info-dumps and brainstorming to surgical edits and blind-spot detection, making it an essential tool for creating PRDs, RFCs, and decision docs that actually land with their intended audience.
