doc-coauthoring is a structured workflow for drafting docs with AI through context gathering, iterative outlining, section-by-section writing, and reader testing for review-ready specs, RFCs, and proposals.
# Anthropic Document Skills Quick Guide for AI Agents Use this guide to choose the right skill fast and avoid using the wrong workflow. ## doc-coauthoring Use `doc-coauthoring` when the task is to collaboratively draft a serious document such as a spec, RFC, proposal, or PRD through context gathering, structured outlining, iterative section writing, and final reader testing. ## internal-comms Use `internal-comms` when the task is to write internal company communication such as updates, newsletters, FAQs, status reports, or leadership messages by following the closest matching example format. ## xlsx Use `xlsx` whenever the task centers on spreadsheets like `.xlsx`, `.xlsm`, `.csv`, or `.tsv`, especially when the agent must preserve workbook structure, use formulas correctly, clean tabular data, or deliver an editable spreadsheet. ## pdf Use `pdf` whenever the task involves PDF files, including reading, extracting, merging, splitting, rendering, OCR, or form-related workflows, instead of treating the PDF as plain text. ## pptx Use `pptx` whenever the task involves PowerPoint files, slides, or presentation decks, especially for creating, editing, reviewing, splitting, merging, or analyzing slide-based content visually. ## docx Use `docx` whenever the task involves Word documents such as creating, editing, converting, validating, or structurally modifying `.docx` files with proper document formatting. --- # Simple Routing Rule - If the user’s main deliverable is a file, use the skill that matches the file type. - If the user’s main goal is to co-write a substantial document, use `doc-coauthoring`. - If the user’s main goal is to write an internal update or announcement, use `internal-comms`. --- # Important Agent Reminder Do not handle file-specific work generically: use the matching skill early, follow its workflow, preserve the original structure or template when needed, and optimize for an editable final deliverable rather than a one-off text response.
