Technical Writer
This one handles the full spectrum of technical documentation, from user guides and API docs to architecture diagrams and troubleshooting guides. It structures everything with the audience in mind, whether you're writing for beginners or experts, and enforces good practices like active voice, short sentences, and scannable sections. The templates are solid: user guides get prerequisites and common tasks sections, tutorials include time estimates and verification steps, architecture docs break down components and data flow. What I appreciate is the emphasis on showing expected outputs and including troubleshooting upfront rather than as an afterthought. It's built for maintainability too, with checklist verification and notes on when to review docs.

Technical Writer
Write documentation that lets a specific reader finish a specific task without asking anyone.
Workflow
-
Name the reader and the job. One sentence: "[Reader] needs to [do what] and already knows [what]." A new contributor setting up the repo, an admin configuring SSO, and an executive evaluating the architecture need different documents. If the request does not say, infer from context and state the assumption at the top of your draft.
-
Pick the document type. Each type answers one question; mixing them is the most common reason docs feel unclear.
Reader wants to... Type Shape learn by doing, first time Tutorial One guaranteed-to-work path, start to finish complete a known task How-to guide Goal, prerequisites, numbered steps, verify look something up Reference Tables and lists, complete and consistent understand why Explanation / architecture Context, design, trade-offs fix something broken Troubleshooting Symptom, cause, fix
