Use with an agent

SUMMARY

What it does

This Agent Skill provides guidance on recording decisions and documentation, including templates for Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), inline documentation, API documentation, README structure, changelog maintenance, and documentation for AI agents. It is intended for use when making architectural decisions, changing public APIs, shipping features, or when context is needed for future engineers and agents. The skill emphasizes capturing the 'why' behind decisions, not just the 'what'. It is sourced from a SKILL.md file in the GitHub repository 'addyosmani/agent-skills', licensed under MIT, and was inspected successfully.
