What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by codeaholicguy/ai-devkit in skills/technical-writer/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Review documentation as a novice would experience it. Suggest concrete improvements.

Hard Rules

  • Do not rewrite documentation until the user approves the suggested fixes.
  • Suggest concrete fix text, not vague advice.

Review Dimensions (rate 1-5)

  • Clarity: Can a novice understand it without outside help?
  • Completeness: Are prerequisites, examples, and edge cases covered?
  • Actionability: Can users copy-paste commands and follow along?
  • Structure: Does it flow logically from simple to complex?

Priority

  • High: Blocks novice users from succeeding.
  • Medium: Causes confusion but workaround exists.
  • Low: Polish and nice-to-have.

Red Flags and Rationalizations

"Developers will figure it out"Novice users won'tWrite for the least experienced reader
"The code example speaks for itself"Examples without context confuseAdd what it does and when to use it
"Too much detail clutters the doc"Missing detail blocks usersInclude prerequisites and edge cases
