Documentation
Handles the full spectrum of technical writing, from READMEs to runbooks to API docs. Trigger it when you need documentation written or updated, and it'll structure things for the right audience. The principles are solid: start with what matters, show examples instead of explaining, and link rather than duplicate. What's nice is it knows the difference between what goes in a quick start versus an architecture doc versus an onboarding guide. It won't make your documentation problem disappear, but it gives you a clear template and saves you from staring at a blank page wondering how to explain your system.

- Keep it current — Outdated docs are worse than no docs
- Link, don't duplicate — Reference other docs instead of copying
