What is the hub-and-spoke documentation model?

It is a structural pattern where a central 'hub' file provides high-level essentials and links to detailed 'spoke' files, allowing for progressive disclosure of information without overwhelming the reader.

How does this skill improve LLM performance?

By prioritizing structured, machine-readable formats like OpenAPI 3.1.1 and JSON Schema, it provides LLMs with unambiguous data contracts that are easier to interpret than unstructured human text.

Why should I avoid manual section numbering in markdown?

Manual numbering causes duplication when using tools like Pandoc, which automatically adds numbers via the --number-sections flag. Using semantic headings ensures cleaner, more maintainable documents.

Can this be used for existing project documentation?

Yes, the skill includes a standards checklist specifically designed for reviewing and refactoring existing documentation to meet modern AI-ready and PDF-compatible standards.
