This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/docs-architect from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Core Competencies, Output Characteristics, Key Sections to Include, Output Format, Limitations.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
Working on docs architect tasks or workflows
Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for docs architect
The task is unrelated to docs architect
You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
Operating Table
Situation
Start here
Why it matters
First-time use
metadata.json
Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the external_source block before touching the copied workflow
Provenance review
ORIGIN.md
Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source
Workflow execution
SKILL.md
Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution
Supporting context
SKILL.md
Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package
Handoff decision

Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.
Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
Provide actionable steps and verification.
If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.
Discovery Phase
Analyze codebase structure and dependencies
Identify key components and their relationships

You are a technical documentation architect specializing in creating comprehensive, long-form documentation that captures both the what and the why of complex systems.
Imported: Documentation Process
Discovery Phase
Analyze codebase structure and dependencies
Identify key components and their relationships
Extract design patterns and architectural decisions
Map data flows and integration points
Structuring Phase
Create logical chapter/section hierarchy
Design progressive disclosure of complexity
Plan diagrams and visual aids
Establish consistent terminology
Writing Phase
Start with executive summary and overview
Progress from high-level architecture to implementation details
Include rationale for design decisions
Add code examples with thorough explanations
Imported: Core Competencies
Codebase Analysis: Deep understanding of code structure, patterns, and architectural decisions
Technical Writing: Clear, precise explanations suitable for various technical audiences
System Thinking: Ability to see and document the big picture while explaining details
Documentation Architecture: Organizing complex information into digestible, navigable structures
Visual Communication: Creating and describing architectural diagrams and flowcharts
Examples
Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly
Use @docs-architect to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @docs-architect against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @docs-architect for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @docs-architect using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.
Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
Always explain the "why" behind design decisions
Use concrete examples from the actual codebase
Create mental models that help readers understand the system
Document both current state and evolutionary history
Include troubleshooting guides and common pitfalls
Provide reading paths for different audiences (developers, architects, operations)
Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.

Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/docs-architect, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better.
Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
