Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads callstackincubator/agent-skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.

Maintenance
House style for user-facing documentation — voice, scope, structure, and what to leave out. Use this skill whenever writing, editing, or reviewing anything a user reads to learn how to use a tool — help center articles, getting-started guides, tutorials, feature docs, README usage sections, in-app help, release notes, or FAQ entries. Trigger it even when the request is phrased plainly — "document this feature", "write docs for X", "explain this to users", "write a README for this library", "turn these notes into a guide" — and even when no style guidelines are mentioned. Also use it to review existing docs for tone, bloat, or leaked implementation detail. Do not use it for internal engineering docs, architecture write-ups, RFCs, or code comments.
