How This Skill Works
Official Anthropic skill that runs a real co-authoring workflow in three stages: context gathering (transfer what you know), refinement & structure (build sections via clarifying questions and drafting), and reader testing (does it work for someone without your context?).
It favors surgical edits over rewrites and proactively flags gaps. Use it for specs, proposals, decision docs, and other structured writing.
