Google Style Docs¶
Write and review technical documentation following the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide. Covers document structure, voice and tone, formatting of code and UI elements, step-by-step instructions, inclusive and accessible language, and word choice.

What it does¶
The skill applies Google's style principles — clarity, consistency, accessibility, inclusivity, and writing for a global audience — whenever an agent writes new documentation or reviews existing docs. It ends with a quality checklist an agent uses to review a draft, and includes a quick reference and a complete sample how-to guide written to the style.
Where it applies¶
Use it for tutorials, how-to guides, conceptual overviews, and API reference. The skill treats Google's guide as recommendations, so an established project convention takes priority when the two conflict.
