# Co-author structured docs with staged context gathering and reader testing

Use Anthropic's doc-coauthoring skill to run a disciplined writing workflow instead of freeform drafting. The agent gathers missing context, iterates section by section, and pressure-tests the final document with reader-style review before teammates see it.

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.
