Write the handbook page that ends the repeated explanation — the answer-shaped structure (task-first, context second), the ownership and freshness header, and the write-once-point-forever discipline that turns tribal knowledge into infrastructure. Use when asked document how we do X, write the wiki page for this process, I explain this every month, or make this knowledge survive me. Produces the page with task-first structure, the header block, the worked example, and the pointer habit.

# Handbook Page Skill

The handbook page is the highest-leverage document in team life: written once, it answers a question *forever* — but only if it's written answer-shaped. Most wiki pages are essay-shaped (history, context, philosophy, and eventually, maybe, the steps), while their readers arrive task-shaped ("how do I request access?"). The working page leads with the task, keeps context below the fold, carries the [doc-versioning-discipline](../doc-versioning-discipline/SKILL.md) header (owner, status, last-reviewed), includes one worked example — and then gets *used*: every repeat question gets answered with the link, because a handbook nobody points to is a diary.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The page** — task-first structure: the answer/steps up top, the context and edge cases below
- **The header block** — owner, status, last-reviewed — the trust signals
- **The worked example** — one realistic walkthrough, because examples teach what steps can't
- **The pointer habit** — the answer-with-the-link move that makes the page pay for itself
