## What it does

The skill standardizes documentation across three repositories: `k6-DefinitelyTyped`, `k6-docs`, and the core `k6` repo. It drafts user documentation, generates TypeScript types, and structures changelog notes. Internal implementation details are excluded by rule: only user-facing features get documented.

Every code example must pass validation against `k6@master` before committing. You need a local checkout of `k6` to run `go run . run /path/to/script.js`. Chaining commands with `&&` or `;` is prohibited so errors are never masked. The guidelines also forbid automatic git pushes and ban `Co-Authored-By: Claude` attribution trailers in commit messages.

## Requirements
- Works with: Grafana

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add grafana/skills --skill k6-docs -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/k6-docs/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/k6-docs/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add grafana/skills --skill k6-docs -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/k6-docs/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add grafana/skills --skill k6-docs -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/k6-docs/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install grafana/skills k6-docs
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/k6-docs/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add grafana/skills --skill k6-docs -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/grafana/skills --path skills/grafana-k6/k6-docs
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/k6-docs/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add grafana/skills --skill k6-docs -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/grafana/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/grafana-k6/k6-docs/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- draft and review user documentation in k6-docs
- generate TypeScript type definitions for k6-DefinitelyTyped
- prepare changelog entries and release notes in the k6 repository
- validate script examples against the latest k6@master build

## Example prompts
- Review the new API guide in the k6-docs repository
- Generate TypeScript types for the updated module in k6-DefinitelyTyped
- Draft release notes for the upcoming k6 release and test the examples

description: Write or review k6 documentation across the three k6 repositories - k6-DefinitelyTyped (TypeScript types), k6-docs (user documentation), and k6 (release notes / changelog). Applies k6 doc style conventions, generates TypeScript type definitions, drafts release notes, and validates examples by running them against k6@master. Use when working on k6 documentation, the k6 changelog, the k6 release notes, k6 API reference, k6 TypeScript types, load testing docs, or when the user asks to write, edit, or review anything in the k6, k6-docs, or k6-DefinitelyTyped repos - even if they don't explicitly say "documentation".

# k6 Documentation

Document or review k6 features across three repositories: k6-DefinitelyTyped (TypeScript types), k6-docs (user documentation), and k6 (release notes).

## Workflow

Pick the workflow that matches the user's intent:

- **Write documentation:** follow [references/workflows/write.md](references/workflows/write.md)
- **Review documentation:** follow [references/workflows/review.md](references/workflows/review.md)

## Quick References

- [Repository structure & feature type identification](references/repository-structure.md)
- [TypeScript patterns & troubleshooting](references/typescript-patterns.md)
- [Testing workflow with parallel subagents](references/testing-workflow.md)
- [agent-browser command reference](references/agent-browser-reference.md)
- [Troubleshooting guide](references/troubleshooting.md)

## Critical Rules

- **Never push automatically** - always ask first
- **Never chain commands with `&&` or `;`** - run each command separately (prevents failures)
- **Only document user-facing features** - not internal implementation
- **Use `1.` for every numbered list item** (not `1.`, `2.`, `3.`)
- **Test every code example** against k6@master before committing
- **No `Co-Authored-By: Claude` or AI attribution** in commits

## Validating examples (always run before committing)

Every code example in k6 documentation **and release notes** must execute cleanly against `k6@master`. The minimum loop:

```bash
# 1. cd into the k6 repo (not k6-docs or k6-DefinitelyTyped)
cd ~/path/to/k6

# 2. Make sure you're on master at the latest commit (the contract is k6@master)
git checkout master
git pull

# 3. Run each example as a separate command (no &&)
go run . run /path/to/script.js
```

If the run fails: read the error, fix the example in the source (doc or release note), re-run. Do not commit a change whose example doesn't run clean against current `master`. For the full multi-example workflow with parallel subagents, see [references/testing-workflow.md](references/testing-workflow.md).
