Technical documentation

Guides, runbooks and reference for people who have to operate the thing.
What Technical documentation skills agree on
161 skill files read, by 160 of the 186 authors on this shelf whose files we hold, 2026-09-06
Counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Where a claim sits in fewer files than authors, that is said: a claim held by forty authors across three files is one file people copied, not forty people who agreed. Near-identical wordings are grouped and the other wordings are shown, so the grouping is yours to check.

How Technical documentation skills are built
428 skill directories by 167 authors, read from their repositories’ own file trees 2026-08-05
The middle bundle among those shipping files is 2 files, 8.6 KB beside SKILL.md
Counted by distinct author, same as above, so one author publishing forty template copies counts once. SKILL.md itself is not counted as a file, so a single-file skill is one where that file is the whole skill.
The shape
- SKILL.md is the whole skill74 of 167 authors, 215 of 428 skills
- files ship beside it93 of 167 authors, 213 of 428 skills
- executable scripts ship inside20 of 167 authors, 23 of 428 skills
