What it does

Writing Documentation is an agent skill from rapidaai/voice-ai. Create or update repository documentation, runbooks, configuration references, and developer guidance. Use when behavior changes make documentation inaccurate or when a documentation task needs code-grounded commands and paths.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `examples/sample.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Speech recognition and synthesis and Runbooks and postmortems. The repository describes itself as: Rapida is an open-source, end-to-end voice AI orchestration platform for building real-time conversational voice agents with audio streaming, STT, TTS, VAD, multi-channel…

When your agent uses it

  • Behavior changes make documentation inaccurate
  • A documentation task needs code-grounded commands and paths

Example prompts

  • “/writing-documentation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the audience and the decision or task the document must support.
  2. Verify every path, command, option, default, and failure behavior against the repository.
  3. Update the closest authoritative document instead of creating a competing explanation.
  4. Separate current behavior from proposals, future work, and environmental limitations.
  5. Include prerequisites, success checks, common failures, and recovery when writing operational guidance.
  6. Keep examples free of credentials, private endpoints, and misleading placeholder output.
  7. Run just check-agent-docs and just agent-style-check when agent instructions or skills change.
  8. Add to AGENT_LESSONS.md only when a concrete recurring defect establishes a durable guard.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c9caac. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • just

    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

Writing Documentation loads about 584 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 279 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~584

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 279 words (~584 tokens).

“Keep documentation accurate, executable, concise, and owned by the same change that alters the documented behavior.”
