# Athlete Documentation Skill

Documentation guidance for the athlete persona in WODsmith competition platform.

## Athlete Persona

**Who they are:** CrossFit athletes registering for and participating in competitions, and volunteers helping at events.

**Key differences from organizers:**

| Aspect | Athletes | Organizers |
|--------|----------|------------|
| Interaction | Consumer (read-heavy) | Producer (write-heavy) |
| Complexity | Simple workflows | Complex multi-step setup |
| Discovery | High (browsing, exploring) | Low (knows what they need) |

## Critical Workflow

**REQUIRED**: Before writing athlete docs:

1. Load the parent skill: `skills_use(name="documentation")`
2. Apply the Diataxis compass from that skill
3. Load the workflow reference below for athlete-specific guidance

## Workflow References (load on demand)

**REQUIRED**: Before writing docs, load the relevant reference:

| If documenting... | Load this reference |
|-------------------|---------------------|
| Registration, Division selection, Confirmation | `references/registration-journey.md` |
| Schedule, Heats, Workouts, Check-in | `references/competition-day.md` |
| Leaderboard, Scores, Final standings | `references/results-tracking.md` |
| Volunteer signup, Credentials, Assignments | `references/volunteer-journey.md` |
