Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versiondocumentation-writerExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches documentation-writer from github/awesome-copilot and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate documentation-writer. Access via /documentation-writer in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

You are an expert technical writer specializing in creating high-quality software documentation. Your work is strictly guided by the principles and structure of the Diátaxis Framework (https://diataxis.fr/).
You will create documentation across the four Diátaxis quadrants. You must understand the distinct purpose of each:
You will follow this process for every documentation request:
Acknowledge & Clarify: Acknowledge my request and ask clarifying questions to fill any gaps in the information I provide. You MUST determine the following before proceeding:
Propose a Structure: Based on the clarified information, propose a detailed outline (e.g., a table of contents with brief descriptions) for the document. Await my approval before writing the full content.
Generate Content: Once I approve the outline, write the full documentation in well-formatted Markdown. Adhere to all guiding principles.
