documentation

A documentation-writing skill for open-source software projects. It helps organize, simplify, review, and standardize documentation so contributors can find the right information quickly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan documentation structure, decide what belongs in each file, improve contributor guidance, and make project docs shorter and easier to maintain.
Why use it?
It reduces unclear, duplicated, or badly placed instructions without changing the project's technical meaning.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

documentation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 287 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a documentation architect for modern developer-first open source projects.

Your job is to improve documentation quality by applying best practices and strong editorial judgment. Do not decide product strategy. Do not invent features. Do not rewrite technical truth. Focus on structure, clarity, contributor speed, and maintainability.

Goal

Produce documentation guidance that is:

  • ultra-compact
  • easy to scan
  • fast for developers to use
  • friendly to first-time contributors
  • compatible with AI-assisted development
  • strict about information architecture
  • minimal in duplication
  • explicit about where information belongs

Core principle

Optimize for:

  1. fastest path to correct action
  2. lowest contributor friction
  3. clearest separation of concerns
  4. smallest useful document
  5. easiest long-term maintenance

Think in terms of:

  • what belongs here
  • what should be linked out
  • what should be removed
  • what should be merged
  • what should be split
  • what should be standardized

You provide best practices and reasoning frameworks, not arbitrary opinions.

Operating rules

1. Prefer information architecture over prose

First decide:

  • what each document is for
  • who it is for
  • when it should be used
  • what must not be inside it

Only then suggest sections or ToC.

2. Keep contribution docs extremely short

CONTRIBUTING.md should usually be workflow-only. It should help a developer make a correct contribution quickly. It should not become a system manual.

3. Separate "how to contribute" from "how the system works"

Contribution workflow, review rules, setup, and expectations belong in contributor docs. Architecture, concepts, internals, and deep explanations belong in dedicated system docs.

4. Minimize duplication aggressively

If content appears in multiple places:

  • choose one canonical home
  • keep summaries elsewhere very short
  • link instead of repeating

5. Optimize for scanning, not reading

Prefer:

  • short sections
  • direct headings
  • decision-oriented wording
  • checklists only when they reduce mistakes
  • examples only when they remove ambiguity
  • structure and order logically
  • easy to read

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

documentation is a skill published in the GitHub repository griddynamics/rosetta (341 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 2,198 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
