# Documentation Style Collaboration Skill
Agent improves documentation tone without changing technical meaning.
## When to Use
| User prompt | Use |
|---|---|
| User asks for Documentation Style Collaboration work | Use this skill |
| Request falls inside the documentation suite and needs this specific surface | Use this skill |
| The routed catalog needs a single current-state owner for this concern | Use this skill |
## When Not to Use
| User prompt | Route |
|---|---|
| Request is broader than this skill and suite routing is still unclear | Use `documentation-intake-router` first |
| Request belongs to a narrower specialist than this skill | Use that narrower specialist |
| Request is outside this skill's suite or concern | Use the correct suite router or execution skill |
## Workflow
| Step | Agent Action | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Identify | Agent finds imperative-heavy or unclear sections. | Rewrite targets |
| 2. Rephrase | Agent adds explicit subjects and collaborative wording. | Revised prose |
| 3. Preserve | Agent keeps technical constraints and required facts unchanged. | Accurate content |
| 4. Review | Agent checks edited sections for tone and clarity. | Style confirmation |
## Style Goals
Agent uses clear and direct wording.
Agent uses collaborative phrasing instead of command-heavy prose.
Agent keeps rationale visible when rationale reduces ambiguity.
Agent keeps sentences concise and concrete.
## Preferred Patterns
| Use | Avoid |
|---|---|
| `Agent updates...` | Bare imperative lines with no subject |
| `Developers use...` | Vague actor-free instructions |
| `This step keeps...` | Unexplained procedure blocks |
## Quality Gate
| Check | Test | Pass Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Explicit subjects | Review edited sentences. | Every edited sentence names a subject. |
| Collaborative tone | Review edited sections for command-heavy phrasing. | Edited sections use clear, non-commanding language. |
| Technical fidelity | Compare revised text to source requirements. | Revised wording preserves the original technical meaning. |
## Additional source coverage
The selected version is the preferred starting point by the recorded date/context basis. Distinct source coverage is retained in the scoped references; do not apply superseded or conflicting defaults automatically.
