description	Use for ALL documentation-related workflows: rst style guide, changelog updates, C/C++ API reference (Doxygen)

Docs

Pigweed has many docs automation workflows. Rather than list them all here, this skill helps agents decide which workflows are relevant and then routes them to the full instructions.

Usage

1. Summarize the user's main goal in a few sentences.

2. If the user's main goal is not docs-related and there is still work to be done, STOP HERE.

   [!WARNING]

   The docs workflows may reduce your ability to solve the user's main goal because they create high risk of context pollution.

   Examples of WIP main goals unrelated to docs:

   • The root cause of a bug has not yet been found.
   • The user is exploring a new API and it's not yet clear that they're happy with the design.
   • Software architecture or system design research.
   • Code implementations or refactors and tests are still failing.

3. Run ALL workflows that are relevant to the user's main goal.

Workflows

Each of the sections below represents a workflow. Summary:

• rst: Align with Pigweed's reStructuredText (reST) style guide.
• changelog: Update the Pigweed changelog.
• doxygen: Create C/C++ API reference content.

All workflows follow this pattern:

• Triggers: Hints about when to run the workflow. Values in double quotes represent example prompts.
• Guards: Warnings about when to NOT run the workflow.
• Path: The path to the full instructions.

rst

Triggers:

• *.rst files are in context.
• "format the rst"
• "rest formatting"
• The user is creating a significant amount of new documentation and has asked for help getting it ready to publish.

Guards:

• Do not waste time on reST formatting for first draft content that is likely to change a lot.
• When the main goal requires only minor docs updates, do not touch reST that's unrelated to the main goal.

Path: //docs/agents/rst/AGENTS.md

changelog

Triggers:

• "create a changelog update for mar 2026"

Guards:

• "summarize the rust 1.95 changelog"
• "what is the changelog process for the new API we just created?"
• "analyze this codebase in relation to the c++ 2026 changelog"

Path: //docs/agents/changelog/AGENTS.md

doxygen

Triggers:

• A target in //docs/doxygen has failed to build
• The user is attempting to create new C/C++ API reference content

Guards:

• "search the doxygen docs"

Path: //docs/agents/doxygen/AGENTS.md
