Using Ring Technical Writing Specialists

The ring-tw-team plugin provides specialized agents for technical documentation. Use them via Task tool with subagent_type:.

Remember: Follow the ORCHESTRATOR principle from ring:using-ring. Dispatch agents to handle documentation tasks; don’t write complex documentation directly.

3 Documentation Specialists

Documentation Standards Summary

Voice and Tone

• Assertive, but never arrogant – Say what needs to be said, clearly
• Encouraging and empowering – Guide users through complexity
• Tech-savvy, but human – Use technical terms when needed, prioritize clarity
• Humble and open – Confident but always learning

Capitalization

• Sentence case for all headings and titles
• Only first letter and proper nouns capitalized
• ✅ “Getting started with the API”
• ❌ “Getting Started With The API”

Integration with Other Plugins

ORCHESTRATOR Principle

• You’re the orchestrator – Dispatch specialists, don’t write directly
• Let specialists apply standards – They know voice, tone, structure
• Combine with other plugins – API writers + backend engineers for accuracy

✅ “I need documentation for the new feature. Let me dispatch functional-writer.”

❌ “I’ll manually write all the documentation myself.”
