## I have read the CONTRIBUTING.md file. YES ## What kind of change does this PR introduce? Improves the `write-the-docs` skill and retires the overlapping `docs-content` skill (provided @czenko agrees to the latter). ## What is the current behavior? - Docs drafts could leak future-tense / internal roadmap language, add redundant verbiage, and add single-item lists. - No explicit CONTRIBUTING.md / WORD_LIST.md compliance pass for docs drafts. - Product intent was assumed to come from Linear without a good path path for open-source contributors. - `docs-content` overlapped `write-the-docs` and the broader `*-the-docs` skill set (e.g. I started [#49432](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/49432) before realizing we should likely not have overlapping skills). ## What is the new behavior? - Codifies draft pitfalls as principles in `reference/common-pitfalls.md` (timelessness, strip internal business context, redundancy, single-item lists), with style detail pointed from `SKILL.md` rather than duplicated. - Clarifies SoT: Linear + code inspection for content accuracy; CONTRIBUTING.md / WORD_LIST.md (and future DOCS-1177 style guide) for voice/terminology/formatting only. `common-pitfalls.md` is flagged to fold into that guide later. - Linear is internal and preferred when available, not required for open-source. Missing product intent: stop Draft and hand off to `pm-the-docs` (Frame) / `ask-the-docs` (Shape/IA); do not invent positioning or run Frame/Shape inside this skill. - Adds drafting mechanics notes, a compliance checklist before handoff, and a local `/review-the-docs` self-review step. - Removes `.claude/skills/docs-content/`; `.claude/CLAUDE.md` points at the canonical docs skills. Supersedes #49432. ## Additional context Based on @czenko review feedback on #49020 and feedback I received for `docs-content` from @aantti while trialing the "Write the docs" process with contributors, plus my own testing while drafting docs for product managers. ### Test plan - [ ] `SKILL.md` reads as Draft-only; Frame/Shape stay with `pm-the-docs` / `ask-the-docs` - [ ] No-Linear path: ask for Linear (internal) or hand off Frame/Shape; no invented positioning - [ ] `.claude/skills/docs-content/` gone; `.claude/CLAUDE.md` updated - [ ] `.claude/skills/write-the-docs` symlink still resolves to `.agents/skills/write-the-docs` - [ ] Next `/write-the-docs` run: compliance re-read + pitfalls guidance before handoff <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Documentation** - Added an `edit-the-docs` workflow for restructuring and improving existing documentation pages. - Expanded authoring guidance for concise, timeless, user-focused content grounded in product intent. - Added references covering common writing pitfalls, link and anchor conventions, and validation workflows. - Clarified that style guidance applies to voice, formatting, and terminology—not product behavior. - Updated documentation workflows to distinguish planning, writing, editing, review, and assistance responsibilities. - Replaced the previous standalone docs-content skill with the updated authoring skill model. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: Cursor Agent <cursoragent@cursor.com> Co-authored-by: Nik Richers <nik@validmind.ai> Co-authored-by: Miranda Limonczenko <miranda.limonczenko@supabase.io>

Maintainers
If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.
DocSpec
We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.
- OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
- SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
- ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
- CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.
The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
