Enhance Docs

Overview

Improve documentation so it is up to date, coherent, and centered on users' jobs-to-be-done. Favor less content with higher clarity.

Inputs (ask if missing, max 5)

  • Docs scope (which files or sections)
  • Primary audiences and their jobs-to-be-done
  • Source of truth for product behavior (code, APIs, changelog)
  • Recent changes or upcoming releases
  • Constraints (tone, length, compliance, deadlines)

Principles

  • Less is more: reduce noise, keep only what helps users act.
  • Low cognitive load: short paragraphs, clear headings, predictable structure.
  • High signal: prioritize steps, outcomes, and decision points.
  • JTBD-first: structure around what users are trying to accomplish.

Workflow

  1. Map jobs-to-be-done
    • List top 3-5 user jobs and the docs that should enable each.
  2. Check freshness and accuracy
    • Compare docs against current behavior, APIs, and recent changes.
  3. Simplify and restructure
    • Remove redundancy, collapse long lists, and apply progressive disclosure.
  4. Improve coherence
    • Align terminology, fix contradictions, and add consistent cross-links.
  5. Clarify with examples
    • Add minimal examples only where they unblock action.
  6. Deliver ranked improvements
    • Prioritize changes by impact on user success and confusion reduction.

  • Structure by jobs and outcomes, not features.
  • Keep headings short and action-oriented.

Common Mistakes

AI Quality Score

83/100Analyzed 2/20/2026

Well-structured documentation enhancement skill with clear JTBD-first methodology. Provides 6-step workflow, input requirements, output template, and covers principles like 'less is more' and low cognitive load. Has explicit 'when to use' trigger, structured steps, and relevant tags. Path uses .opencode folder suggesting internal agent config, but content is broadly applicable. Minor gaps include no tool references and no validation steps, but otherwise comprehensive and actionable.
