documentation-criteria
Documentation creation criteria including PRD, ADR, Design Doc, and Work Plan requirements with templates. Use when creating or reviewing technical documents, or determining which documents are required.
npx skills add shinpr/claude-code-workflows --skill documentation-criteria --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.

What does the documentation-criteria skill do?
Documentation creation criteria including PRD, ADR, Design Doc, and Work Plan requirements with templates. Use when creating or reviewing technical documents, or determining which documents are required.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add shinpr/claude-code-workflows --skill documentation-criteria --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 shinpr/claude-code-workflows, a repository with 664 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.
