GitHub product documentation writing helps create developer guides, explanations, troubleshooting pages, and security guidance in an approachable style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft, rewrite, or review documentation for a developer workflow, from the initial goal through setup, action, troubleshooting, and confirmation.
Why use it?
It keeps instructions accurate about prerequisites, permissions, supported environments, product limits, and verification steps.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

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

github-docs 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 2d ago.

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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub docs

Help developers complete a product workflow with accurate, approachable guidance.

Establish the contract

  • Preserve commands, UI labels, permissions, plan or product availability, code, versions, and security consequences.
  • Do not claim a feature exists for a plan, host, or version without evidence.
  • Distinguish a supported workflow from a workaround or community convention.
  • Surface missing facts as review questions.

Design the page

  1. Name the reader's goal in the title and opening.
  2. State prerequisites, permissions, supported environments, and risks before the reader reaches a dependent action.
  3. Give only enough concept to make the action understandable and safe.
  4. Present the shortest supported path first. Place alternatives in separate sections.
  5. Close the loop with verification, troubleshooting, or a useful next step.

Write for developers

  • Address the reader as you and keep the tone calm and collaborative.
  • Use active voice and concrete verbs. Name the component that performs an automatic action.
  • Define product-specific terms on first use and keep terminology stable.
  • Put the most important qualifier near the claim it limits.
  • Explain why a step matters when the reason affects security, data, or the choice between alternatives.
  • Use inclusive language and examples that do not assume geography, identity, or a single development environment.
  • Separate normative instructions from optional suggestions.

Write procedures

  • Begin steps with imperative verbs and use one main action per step.
  • State the location before the control when the reader must navigate to it.
  • Keep commands copyable. Explain substitutions and show the expected output only when it helps verify success.
  • Put warnings directly before irreversible or security-sensitive actions.
  • Offer recovery paths that state what data or configuration may change.

Make the page scannable

  • Use sentence case and front-load meaningful words in headings.
  • Use descriptive link text instead of generic destinations.
  • Use numbered lists for sequences, bullets for options, and tables for repeated comparisons with the same fields.
  • Use backticks for code and literal technical elements. Use bold for visible UI labels.
  • Keep notes exceptional. Move essential information into the main flow.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

github-docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository Neeeophytee/agent-stylebooks (54 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 661 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
