documentation-template is a Claude Code skill that generates consistent, comprehensive documentation templates for design system components, patterns, and foundations for developers standardizing design-system docs.
About
documentation-template is an owl-listener designer-skills guide that produces structured markdown scaffolds for design system artifacts. Component doc templates include title, status, when to use, examples, anatomy, variants, props, states, accessibility, content guidelines, tokens, related links, and changelog sections. Pattern docs cover problem statement, context, solution, behavior, good and bad examples, accessibility, and related patterns. Foundation docs capture purpose, principles, and reference material. Developers reach for documentation-template when onboarding a new button or form pattern to the design system, when existing component pages lack consistent headings, or when a foundations page for color or typography needs a standardized outline before writers fill content.
