What's the best model you've found for doing technical writing/docs? Claude: garbage prose, impossible to work with Sol: extremely dense, says "It's not X, it's Y" in the second paragraph of every doc Gemini: kind of an idiot

Using the thing for the scaffolding, then I write most of it myself, then I have it trim and edit for clarity with my approval. Still faster by far than writing the whole thing myself with spell and grammar check.

Oh, also give it a template, like ADRs or something. It tends to write better when filling in a structure of some kind. I actually do let it write my ADRs 100 percent now, and they're not bad.

Best flow I’ve managed is to read existing docs and get it to build a voice skill then tell it after to deslop the output. Then go through manually and edit myself anyway. Far from perfect but much better than it was.
