tutorial-docs

What This Skill Does

The tutorial-docs skill acts as an authoritative pedagogical framework for the OpenClaw AI agent to generate high-quality learning materials. By embedding the Diataxis documentation framework into the agent's workflow, this skill ensures that all generated guides prioritize the 'learning by doing' methodology. It provides a structured templating engine that enforces linear progression, immediate visible feedback, and a teacher-led tone. Instead of producing dense, reference-heavy manuals, this skill outputs concise, action-oriented tutorials that move a user from zero knowledge to a successful project outcome. It strips away technical jargon, eliminates unnecessary branching choices, and focuses exclusively on building confidence through repetitive, scaffolded tasks.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/anderskev/tutorial-docs

Once installed, you can invoke the skill by referencing 'tutorial-docs' in your system prompt or directly requesting the agent to structure its output based on the Diataxis tutorial template.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for:

1. Onboarding new developers to a proprietary codebase by generating step-by-step 'getting started' guides.
2. Creating educational content for internal tools where users have varying levels of domain expertise.
3. Standardizing documentation across a product suite to ensure a consistent, beginner-friendly experience.
4. Rapid prototyping of technical documentation for new features before final release.

Example Prompts

1. "Using the tutorial-docs skill, generate a guide for a complete beginner on how to deploy their first static site using our CLI."
2. "I need a tutorial that teaches users how to configure their first API webhook using our platform. Follow the Diataxis tutorial template precisely."
3. "Review my draft instructions for installing our Python SDK. Refactor them into a tutorial format that emphasizes visible results and minimizes choices."

Tips & Limitations

To get the most out of this skill, ensure you provide the AI with the specific 'deliverable' you want the user to create. The skill works best when the outcome is tangible (e.g., a file created, a server started, a message sent). Note that this skill is strictly for tutorials; do not use it to generate deep technical architecture explanations or API reference tables, as those fall under the 'Explanation' and 'Reference' categories of the Diataxis framework, which are outside the scope of this particular tool.
