Lint reStructuredText docs and release notes before Sphinx publishing with doc8
<p>Catch structural and line-style problems in reStructuredText docs before release notes and Sphinx pages go out broken or noisy.</p>

Use doc8 when an agent needs to lint reStructuredText documentation, changelogs, and other docs trees for invalid RST structure, long lines, trailing whitespace, tabs, or newline issues. It is a good fit for docs QA passes before publishing, release note cleanup, and CI gates around Sphinx-oriented repositories.
What this skill actually does
A user should invoke this instead of using a generic prose editor when the task is enforcing RST-specific documentation hygiene at repository scale. The scope boundary is tight and skill-shaped: doc8 checks documentation file structure and simple style rules for RST and related text files, not broader writing assistance, site generation, or content strategy.
