How does Minimalist Doc Writer handle API documentation?

It extracts signatures, types, and tables directly from the code, intentionally avoiding prose and rephrasing to ensure the technical facts remain the focus.

Can I use this for high-level architecture overviews?

Yes, it provides architecture summaries limited to a single paragraph, focusing on key decisions and diagrams over lengthy explanations.

How does it help prevent stale documentation?

The skill adds a 'Last Updated' timestamp to all output and provides reminders to re-run documentation commands after significant code changes.

What is the 'anti-verbosity' policy?

It is a core personality trait where every word is treated as expensive. The skill cuts any content that isn't scannable, helpful, or strictly necessary for the reader.
