Summary

  • Technical documentation writing and diagram generation.

Documentation

Technical writing, diagram-as-code, and documentation lifecycle management. Treats docs as code: version-controlled, linted, and CI-verified.

When to use: Creating or updating technical documentation, generating Mermaid diagrams (flowcharts, ERDs, sequence diagrams), auditing documentation coverage against code, or establishing style guides.

When NOT to use: Writing marketing copy, blog posts, or content that does not live alongside code.

Quick Reference

Task Approach Key Point
Doc sync audit git diff main...HEAD + export scan Compare symbols against doc coverage
Sequence diagram Mermaid sequenceDiagram + autonumber Map messages to function calls
ERD Mermaid erDiagram + Crow's Foot Derive from Drizzle/Prisma schemas
Gitgraph Mermaid gitGraph Standardize on main/develop/feature branches
Feature release doc Overview + Config + Examples + Troubleshooting Checklist for every new feature
API reference Generate from JSDoc/TSDoc annotations Never write API refs manually
Style guide Active voice + present tense + direct address Conversational but precise
AI-assisted drafting Inventory + gap analysis + draft + human review AI drafts, humans verify accuracy
Markdown standard YAML frontmatter + language-tagged code blocks Always specify code block language
Complex diagrams Split into focused sub-diagrams + subgraphs Limit to 15-20 nodes per diagram
README template Badges + description + quick start + API link First thing users see; keep under 200 lines
ADR format Status, context, decision, consequences Numbered, immutable once accepted
Runbook Symptoms, diagnosis, resolution, escalation Written for 3 AM incidents; no ambiguity

Common Mistakes

Mistake Correct Pattern
Using static images for technical diagrams Write Mermaid syntax inline in Markdown
Generic participant names like Agent1 Use specific service or role names matching the architecture
Manually writing API reference docs Generate from JSDoc/TSDoc annotations in source code
Diagrams with 20+ nodes and no grouping Use subgraphs to group related nodes; limit to 15-20
Documentation referencing outdated defaults Run doc sync audit comparing exports against coverage
Using "Click here" link text Use descriptive anchor text for accessibility and clarity
Skipping heading hierarchy levels Never go from H2 to H4; keep hierarchy sequential
Mixing wall-of-text paragraphs Use bullet points, tables, and diagrams for scannability
No ADRs for architectural decisions Record decisions with context, status lifecycle, and consequences

Delegation

  • Scan codebase for undocumented exports and documentation gaps: Use Explore agent
  • Generate a full documentation site with diagrams from an existing codebase: Use Task agent
  • Plan documentation architecture and information hierarchy for a new project: Use Plan agent

If the mermaid-diagrams skill is available, delegate complex diagram creation and advanced Mermaid syntax questions to it.
Otherwise, recommend: npx skills add oakoss/agent-skills --skill mermaid-diagrams
If the tldr-expert skill is available, delegate summary and brief generation to it.
