README

Excerpt

Edit Document

Distinct from write-document: Use this skill when the document already exists and needs restructuring, clarity, or prose improvements. Use write-document to create a document from scratch.

HARD GATE — Document edits must preserve intent and accuracy. Do NOT remove or contradict existing content without understanding why it was written. Check git history for context.

Process

First, divide the document into sections based on its headings. Think about the main points made in each section.

Consider that information is a directed acyclic graph, and that pieces of information can depend on other pieces of information. Make sure that the order of the sections and their contents respects these dependencies.

Confirm the sections with the user.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
