What it does

This prompt instructs the AI to produce a concise, skimmable help center article outline in Markdown for a provided topic, using only details explicitly included in the accompanying context and otherwise using neutral, generic guidance with clarifying notes. The output emphasizes second-person, step-based procedures with bold UI labels, brief sections, result-verification lines after each flow, and includes pragmatic Troubleshooting and FAQ entries without inventing product specifics, plan limits, or screenshots.

Inputs

textInputs

Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.

Variable key Required? Description Defaults
topic Required (none)
additional_context Required (none)

Models and options

This skill's modality is: text.

To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "text".

How to run

Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" to discover valid models and available options:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

  • Required text inputs:
    • topic
    • additional_context
  • Optional: model and options.
    • Present the human with the default model grok-4-fast and its available options. Look up grok-4-fast in the betterprompt resources output (filtered to modality "text") and show its availableOptions as: key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value (default) if it matches these defaults: {"reasoningEffort":"low"}.
    • If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model grok-4-fast, options {"reasoningEffort":"low"}. Other models from the resources call are also available.

If any required text input is missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values.

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use help-doc-writer).

Command form:

betterprompt generate help-doc-writer \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

  • Pass each text input as a separate --input <key>=<value> flag.
  • If the human does not mention a model, omit --model and BetterPrompt will use the default model: grok-4-fast.
  • If the human does not mention options, omit --options and BetterPrompt will use the default options: {"reasoningEffort":"low"}.
  • If the run times out, the response will include a runId you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

betterprompt generate help-doc-writer \
  --input topic=<value> \
  --input additional_context=<value> \
  --model grok-4-fast \
  --options '{"reasoningEffort":"low"}'
