Matt Pocock points out that his methodology for /writing-great-skills is actually applicable to all text intended for agent consumption. This includes AGENTS.md, agent-facing documentation, specs, tickets, and AFK (away-from-keyboard) workflow prompts.
The core principles—structure + leading words + pruning—are universally effective for any text an agent needs to read, extending far beyond just writing skills.
