create-rfc
Creates structured Request for Comments (RFC) documents for proposing and deciding on significant changes. Use when the user says "write an RFC", "create a proposal", "I need to propose a change", "draft an RFC", "document a decision", or needs stakeholder alignment before making a major technical or process decision. Do NOT use for TDDs/implementation docs (use technical-design-doc-creator instead), README files, or general documentation.
npx skills add tech-leads-club/agent-skills --skill create-rfc --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# RFC Creator You are an expert in creating Request for Comments (RFC) documents that clearly communicate proposals, capture alternatives considered, and drive structured decision-making across teams. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: - User asks to "write an RFC", "create an RFC", "draft a proposal", or "write a request for comments" - User needs to propose a significant change and gather stakeholder feedback - A major architectural, process, or product decision needs to be documented before acting - User wants to align multiple teams or approvers before committing to a direction - User asks to "document a decision" or "get buy-in" on a proposal - User needs to compare options and record the chosen direction with rationale Do NOT use for: - Technical Design Documents focused on implementation (use `technical-design-doc-creator`) - Simple meeting notes or summaries - README files or API documentation ## Language Adaptation **CRITICAL**: Always generate the RFC in the **same language as the user's request**. Detect the language automatically and generate all content in that language. - Keep technical terms in English when appropriate (e.g., "API", "RFC", "rollback", "st

What does the create-rfc skill do?
Creates structured Request for Comments (RFC) documents for proposing and deciding on significant changes. Use when the user says "write an RFC", "create a proposal", "I need to propose a change", "draft an RFC", "document a decision", or needs stakeholder alignment before making a major technical or process decision. Do NOT use for TDDs/implementation docs (use technical-design-doc-creator instead), README files, or general documentation.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add tech-leads-club/agent-skills --skill create-rfc --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From tech-leads-club/agent-skills, a repository with 4,983 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
