Using Ring Technical Writing Specialists
The ring-tw-team plugin provides specialized agents for technical documentation. Use them via Task tool with subagent_type:.
Remember: Follow the ORCHESTRATOR principle from ring:using-ring. Dispatch agents to handle documentation tasks; don't write complex documentation directly.
3 Documentation Specialists
| Agent | Specialization | Use When |
|---|---|---|
ring:functional-writer |
Conceptual docs, guides, tutorials, best practices, workflows | Writing product guides, tutorials, "how to" content |
ring:api-writer |
REST API reference, endpoints, schemas, errors, field descriptions | Documenting API endpoints, request/response examples |
ring:docs-reviewer |
Voice/tone, structure, completeness, clarity, accuracy | Reviewing drafts, pre-publication quality check |
Documentation Standards Summary
Voice and Tone
- Assertive, but never arrogant – Say what needs to be said, clearly
- Encouraging and empowering – Guide users through complexity
- Tech-savvy, but human – Use technical terms when needed, prioritize clarity
- Humble and open – Confident but always learning
Capitalization
- Sentence case for all headings and titles
- Only first letter and proper nouns capitalized
- ✅ "Getting started with the API"
- ❌ "Getting Started With The API"
Structure Patterns
- Lead with clear definition paragraph
- Use bullet points for key characteristics
- Separate sections with
---dividers - Include info boxes and warnings where needed
- Link to related API reference
- Add code examples for technical topics

Task #1: functional-writer (write the guide)

ORCHESTRATOR Principle
- You're the orchestrator – Dispatch specialists, don't write directly
- Let specialists apply standards – They know voice, tone, structure
- Combine with other plugins – API writers + backend engineers for accuracy
✅ "I need documentation for the new feature. Let me dispatch functional-writer."
❌ "I'll manually write all the documentation myself."
