Technical writing that respects the reader's time: the write skill drafts and updates READMEs, install guides, and dev docs, verifying every path, command, and flag against the actual code before describing it, and cutting the reassurance, closing flourishes, and leftover conversation that bloat docs without telling the reader anything.
