Asked for help with a monorepo decision doc: unguided Claude jumps straight into drafting a doc filled with invented specifics (team size, CI system) it doesn't actually know; following the skill it stops, offers the 3-stage workflow, and asks 5 concrete context questions before writing a single section.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Doc Co-Authoring does

Runs a structured collaboration loop for specs, RFCs, proposals and decision docs: gather context and ask clarifying questions first, build each section through brainstorm-curate-draft-refine cycles, then stress-test the finished doc by having a context-free sub-agent try to answer real reader questions from it. Triggers on 'write a doc/proposal/spec/PRD/RFC' phrasing; entirely self-contained, no external scripts or dependencies to install.
