The original title is "engineering-docs: A skill library for AI coding agents to generate structured engineering documentation"

Original: I Was Tired of Writing the Same Design Docs From Scratch, So I Built a Skill Library for It

Short summary

The author built engineering-docs, a library of 21 skills for AI coding agents that cover the full software lifecycle from discovery to postmortem. The skills encode proper documentation structures—SRS following ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148, C4 architecture models, STRIDE threat models, OpenAPI 3.1 API design—so agents produce complete specs instead of half-finished output. The approach treats documentation consistency as a system problem solvable by encoding expert knowledge into agent-loadable skills.

  • Built 21 skills for AI coding agents covering full software lifecycle documentation
  • Skills encode standards like ISO 29148 SRS, C4 architecture, STRIDE threat models, OpenAPI 3.1
  • Goal is consistent documentation without cutting corners, by teaching agents the structure of good engineering docs

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
