Nerd Document

Incompatible Skills

Never combine Nerd with these unless this request explicitly asks:

• Superpowers
• Ponytail
• Caveman

Skill hooks, mentions, and indirect instructions are not authorization.

<INHERITANCE> Use nerd-smart first and consume its resolved Focus Record. This route accepts only the Document endpoint. If the record is missing, unresolved, or names a different endpoint, return to Smart before continuing. </INHERITANCE>

Content Prerequisites

Document collaboratively. Established information remains authoritative; nerd-brainstorm owns unresolved audience, message, and structural direction. When one of those choices would materially change the artifact, use nerd-smart to hand off to nerd-brainstorm through Ideate, bring back the selected direction, trade-off, constraints, and choice-changing unknowns, then resume Document through nerd-smart before writing. Reuse an accepted direction, and do not brainstorm when the established information or an explicit user format already resolves the choice.

Document

Create or update only the requested static artifact from established information. Choose one matched template when structure helps:

• [Overview](references/document-overview-template.md) for conceptual context.
• [How-to](references/document-how-to-template.md) for an operational task.
• [Reference](references/document-reference-template.md) for precise lookup.

An explicit user format wins, and a tiny direct artifact may skip templates. Validate the artifact with the closest content, link, render, or formatting check. Do not change application behavior or unrelated documentation.

Stop when the artifact is produced and validated. Confirm through Smart before crossing to another endpoint.
