#1Anthropic Doc Coauthoring

Guide a doc from raw context to reader-tested clarity.

★ 4.7·122k stars

diff · 差异Best for long-lived documents that real readers have to act on — RFCs, design docs, architecture write-ups, technical specs. Built around a reader-test loop: draft, hand to a fresh reader, see if they can answer the document's own questions, revise. Anthropic-authored, so the format and review conventions match how Claude actually consumes context. Not for one-pagers or release notes — release-briefing handles those with much less ceremony.

#2Docs Release

Sync the docs after the code changes, not three weeks later.

★ 4.7·9.3k stars

diff · 差异Best for the docs that age worst — README, ARCHITECTURE, getting-started — when code has moved on and prose hasn't. Reads the diff, finds the docs that reference the changed code path, and proposes the smallest update needed to keep them honest. Strongest after architectural refactors or API rename waves; weakest on net-new documentation. For full authoring loops with reader testing, anthropic-doc-coauthoring is the better fit.

#3DX Audit

Measure the onboarding pain your docs politely hide.

★ 4.5·5.4k stars

diff · 差异Best when you need to know how new users actually experience your product, not how your team thinks they do. Walks the public onboarding path — docs, install, first API call, first error message — and times each step. Catches the silent failures: docs promising a feature that doesn't exist yet, paste-this commands that don't run on macOS, default settings that 404. Strongest before a developer-facing launch. Skip it for internal-only tooling — that's not what it's tuned for.
