Writing style guide derived from Modal's documentation voice. Apply when writing or editing docs, guides, tutorials, or technical prose that should read direct, second-person, confident, low-jargon, and example-first. Use to draft new docs in this voice or to revise existing prose toward it.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by ComposioHQ on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Good Docs Writing AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/ComposioHQ/composio/tree/next/.agents/skills/good-docs-writing
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ComposioHQ/composio.git /tmp/composio
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/composio/.agents/skills/good-docs-writing .claude/skills/good-docs-writing
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Good Docs Writing in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Good Docs Writing on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Good Docs Writing is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Good docs writing

Write docs the way Modal writes them: direct, friendly, confident, and ruthlessly practical. Explain the why in one breath, then show working code. Treat the reader as a capable developer who wants to ship, not a student who needs a lecture.

Read references/style-guide.md for the full rule set (Voice, Structure, Terminology, Punctuation, Code examples, Formatting) and apply every rule while drafting.

The rules that matter most, before you open the reference:

  • Address the reader as "you", never "the user" or "one".
  • Open with the concept or benefit in the first sentence. No throat-clearing.
  • Put a minimal runnable example near the top, then explain what just happened.
  • Remove every em-dash. Use a period, comma, colon, or parentheses instead.
  • Cut vague intensifiers ("seamlessly", "powerful", "robust", "cutting-edge"). Show a thing being easy instead of calling it easy.
  • Backtick every code identifier, command, parameter, path, and filename.

To review existing prose against these rules instead of drafting, use good-docs-audit.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Good Docs Writing AI skill do?

Writing style guide derived from Modal's documentation voice. Apply when writing or editing docs, guides, tutorials, or technical prose that should read direct, second-person, confident, low-jargon, and example-first. Use to draft new docs in this voice or to revise existing prose toward it.

Why use Good Docs Writing on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Good Docs Writing is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Good Docs Writing in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/ComposioHQ/composio/tree/next/.agents/skills/good-docs-writing. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Good Docs Writing?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Good Docs Writing?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Good Docs Writing with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Good Docs Writing AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by ComposioHQ under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
