doc-coauthoring is a Claude skill that walks a user through a three-stage process for writing documentation such as specs, proposals, or decision docs. It first gathers background context through guided questions, then builds the document section by section through brainstorming and iterative edits, and finally tests the finished draft by having a separate, context-free instance of Claude try to read and answer questions about it. The skill can create a working file or artifact scaffold, apply targeted edits rather than rewriting whole sections, and optionally pull in context from connected messaging or file-storage tools if those are available. It ends with a final review step reminding the user to fact-check and confirm the document meets its intended purpose before sharing it.
What you can do with doc-coauthoring
- Get guided through an initial context-gathering phase with clarifying questions about audience, document type, and constraints
- Dump unstructured background information (notes, links, channel references) for Claude to organize
- Optionally pull context from connected tools such as messaging apps or document storage when those connectors are available
- Co-build a document section by section via brainstormed options, curation, drafting, and iterative refinement
- Have edits applied surgically to a working file or artifact instead of full rewrites
- Request a final read-through where a separate, context-free Claude instance answers likely reader questions to surface confusing or missing content
- Receive a summary of any gaps found in reader testing and loop back to fix specific sections
- Get reminders at the end to verify facts, links, and overall intent before considering the document finished
