description	Write and maintain technical documentation. Trigger with "write docs for", "document this", "create a README", "write a runbook", "onboarding guide", or when the user needs help with any form of technical writing — API docs, architecture docs, or operational runbooks.

Principles

1. Write for the reader — Who is reading this and what do they need?
2. Start with the most useful information — Don't bury the lede
3. Show, don't tell — Code examples, commands, screenshots
4. Keep it current — Outdated docs are worse than no docs
5. Link, don't duplicate — Reference other docs instead of copying
