Using Ring Technical Writing Specialists
The ring-tw-team plugin provides specialized agents for technical documentation. Use them via Task tool with subagent_type:.

--- dividers
- Include info boxes and warnings where needed

ORCHESTRATOR Principle
- You're the orchestrator – Dispatch specialists, don't write directly
- Let specialists apply standards – They know voice, tone, structure
- Combine with other plugins – API writers + backend engineers for accuracy
✅ "I need documentation for the new feature. Let me dispatch functional-writer."
❌ "I'll manually write all the documentation myself."
