Docs Writer

If you're maintaining technical documentation for a CLI tool and need to enforce consistent voice, style, and formatting, this handles the tedious parts. It follows opinionated rules: sentence case headings, 80-character line wraps, specific callout syntax with prettier-ignore comments, relative links in docs, and a clear hierarchy for procedures. The preparation phase is thorough, requiring code investigation before any edits to ensure accuracy. Worth noting that it's built specifically for Gemini CLI's documentation standards, so you'll see references to their quota terminology guidelines and contribution process. Good for teams who want documentation that reads consistently, not just technically correct content.
