What doc-coauthoring does

doc-coauthoring offers a structured path or freeform drafting. In the guided path, it asks about the document type, audience, intended outcome, template, and constraints. It then gathers background material and follows up on gaps.

The skill helps agree on an outline, work through sections one at a time, and revise the draft. For each section, it can generate content options, ask what to retain, and apply focused edits. When integrations are available, it can read related documents or team discussions after the user confirms.

The final stage checks the draft from a fresh context to expose reader blind spots. With artifact access, the skill creates a scaffold via create_file. Install it if your team writes documents that need review and agreement; it is overkill for a short note.

What it helps with

  • gather context for a technical specification
  • shape an RFC outline
  • work through disputed proposal sections
  • spot unclear passages before colleagues read a document

Example prompts for the agent

  • Help me draft a technical spec from this template.
  • I need a decision doc. Take me through the workflow.
  • Let's build an RFC; I will share the context first.
