doc-coauthoring is a Claude skill that walks a user through a structured process for writing documentation together with the assistant, such as technical specs, proposals, or decision documents. It proceeds through three phases: gathering background and constraints from the user, building the document section by section through brainstorming and targeted edits, and finally testing the finished draft with a separate, context-free Claude instance to see whether it is understandable to an outside reader. The skill emphasizes asking clarifying questions, drafting in small pieces rather than all at once, and checking for gaps or ambiguity before calling the document finished. It can use artifacts or local markdown files to hold the draft and applies edits incrementally rather than rewriting the whole text each time.

About the service
When connectors or integrations such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, or SharePoint are available in the user's Claude setup, this skill can optionally pull background information or existing draft documents from those services to speed up the context-gathering stage.
What you can do with doc-coauthoring
- Get guided through an initial context-gathering conversation covering document type, audience, and constraints
- Dump unorganized background information and have clarifying questions generated from it
- Pull in context from connected tools like Slack, Teams, Google Drive, or SharePoint when available
- Build a document section by section through brainstormed options, selection, drafting, and iterative editing
- Have an existing shared document or template read and incorporated, including flagging images missing alt-text
- Have the finished draft tested by a separate, context-free Claude instance (or manually, if sub-agents aren't available) to surface confusing or ambiguous parts before sharing it with real readers
