About this skill
The Docs & Knowledge Base Builder Skill helps founders, support teams, and technical writers turn messy product notes, support tickets, feature descriptions, changelog entries, and SOPs into clear, well-structured documentation. It identifies the target reader and their intent, chooses the right article type — how-to guide, troubleshooting article, setup guide, feature explanation, FAQ, internal SOP, or API doc — and produces a publish-ready draft with clear steps, examples, troubleshooting, and honestly stated limitations. Rather than filling gaps with guesses, the skill marks missing details clearly and asks for confirmation, so documentation stays accurate to what was actually provided. It also reminds users to redact secrets and private data from any screenshots, logs, or tickets before sharing them. This makes it useful for anyone building or maintaining a help center, internal knowledge base, or support FAQ across SaaS products, APIs, internal tools, or AI workflows.

Examples
I need a help article for PiSkill admins explaining how to import a skill page using piskill-admin-import.json. The JSON contains metadata, page_content_md, related skills, related articles, FAQ objects, SEO title, and meta description. The FAQ should be an array of q/a objects. There should be no FAQ slugs.
Title: Import a PiSkill skill page with piskill-admin-import.json Short answer: PiSkill admins can create a skill page by uploading a valid piskill-admin-import.json file instead of copying every field manually. Before you start: Make sure the JSON file is valid, uses the expected keys, includes page_content_md for the public page, and stores FAQ as an array of q/a objects. Steps: Open the PiSkill admin dashboard, choose the skill import option, upload piskill-admin-import.json, review the preview, fix validation errors if shown, and publish only after checking the public page content. Troubleshooting: If the import fails, check for invalid JSON, missing required fields, trailing commas, malformed FAQ objects, or any faq_slugs key.
