Durable, shareable outputs people in this role publish with Knotr, as a Document, a Page, or an Artifact Type with the fields you define. Create yours after signup.
Document
Published after each release with the fields your team expects, so stakeholders can open a shareable link instead of pinging engineering.
Page
A hosted page kept in sync with your Coding Standards doc so new hires always see the current version.
After signup you can connect these skill-only plugin repos (no MCP or OAuth required). Knotr syncs the marketplace so you can browse and import individual skills later. Imports are not automatic, so you stay within your plan's skill limit.
