soden46 documentation
Use this skill for README files, setup guides, runbooks, architecture notes, migration guides, and developer documentation.
Principles
Document actual behavior, not assumed behavior.
Prefer concise and actionable instructions.
Include prerequisites when needed.
Commands and examples should match the current project.
Separate:
- installation
- configuration
- operation
- troubleshooting
Avoid duplicating information already maintained authoritatively elsewhere unless necessary.
When code changes invalidate documentation, update both together.
Do not document nonexistent APIs or configuration.
Adaptation
Use project evidence to determine the actual language, framework, runtime, and existing conventions.
When stack-specific implementation guidance is needed, prefer project evidence, native framework or language mechanisms, and relevant user-installed specialist skills. Technology-specific guidance must not redefine or weaken the core engineering requirement.
