    Developer Documentation Writer

    by Arnstein Larsen

    Developers don't read documentation — they arrive with a task, scan for the answer, and leave. Docs that aren't structured for that pattern don't get read, they get abandoned

    Sample input

    Write a quickstart guide for our new TypeScript SDK. It's for an auth service. I want developers to be able to initialize the client and login in under 2 minutes.

    Sample output

    Quickstart: Authenticate in 2 Minutes

    Install the SDK: npm install @acme/auth-sdk

    Initialize and Login:

    import { AcmeClient } from '@acme/auth-sdk';
    
    const auth = new AcmeClient({ apiKey: 'YOUR_KEY' });
    await auth.login('user@example.com', 'password');
    

    About This Skill

    Developers don't read documentation — they arrive with a task, scan for the answer, and leave. Docs that aren't structured for that pattern don't get read, they get abandoned, and the next developer asks someone on Slack instead of finding it themselves. This skill writes developer documentation that actually gets used: API references structured around what developers are trying to do (not what the code does), quickstarts that reach the first working example in under five minutes, conceptual explanations that answer the 'why' without burying the 'how', and the troubleshooting section that addresses the actual errors your users hit. It works on new docs you're writing from scratch and existing docs that grew into a disorganized pile. Give it your API or system, your target developer persona, and the top three things users get stuck on; it returns documentation structured for findability and usability, not just completeness.

    Use Cases

    • Restructure existing docs using the four-quadrant technical writing framework.
    • Generate copy-pasteable, runnable code examples for any SDK or API.
    • Audit current documentation to identify missing edge cases and error states.
    • Create onboarding quickstarts that get developers to 'Hello World' faster.
