What it does

Docs Guidance is an agent skill from petyosi/react-virtuoso. Revises project documentation for human readability, conceptual flow, and example safety. Covers concept pages, example pages, troubleshooting, installation, and migration docs. Use when writing or reviewing docs, when the user says a page "feels off", "feels weird", "feels sudden", or "needs attention", when asked to make a doc clearer or to rewrite a section, when fixing cold or abrupt openings, when a section opens with the API mechanism instead of the user's problem, or when comparing prose against a…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/diagnostics.md` and `references/example-craft.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Plain language and style rules. The repository describes itself as: The most powerful virtual list component for React.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says a page feels off
  • Needs attention
  • Asked to make a doc clearer
  • Rewrite a section

Example prompts

  • “feels off”
  • “feels weird”
  • “feels sudden”
  • “/docs-guidance”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Start from the reader's task, decision, or confusion, not from the API list.
  2. Identify the core contract the page must teach: state ownership, data shape, lifecycle, render boundary, persistence keying, configuration…
  3. Rewrite around the path: user problem → concept → contract → runnable example → limits and next step.
  4. Keep examples safe for real usage, not just short.
  5. End with a concrete escape hatch: where to go when this example no longer fits.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b2a02d0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Docs Guidance loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 663 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~136
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 663 words (~1,323 tokens).

“Use this skill for project documentation work. Treat docs quality as a product concern: the reader should understand where they are, why the topic exists, what shape the relevant data or API has, and when the shown pattern stops fitting.”
