A GitHub Copilot skill based on Google's Technical Writing Course that reviews and improves technical documentation.

Copy or symlink this repo into your project's skill directory:

# Project-level (shared with team)
cp -r /path/to/tech_writer .github/skills/tech-writer

# Personal (across all projects)
cp -r /path/to/tech_writer ~/.copilot/skills/tech-writer

Or clone directly:

# Personal
git clone https://github.com/cherczeg/tech_writer.git ~/.copilot/skills/tech-writer

Once installed, the skill is available via /tech-writer in GitHub Copilot chat, or invoked automatically when Copilot detects you're working on documentation tasks.

The skill uses ~/.tech_writing_ghcp/ as a staging directory for drafts, reviews, and cached analysis during tech writing operations.
