Workflow
-
Identify the documentation type. See
references/special-types.mdfor the full type list and type-specific section requirements. -
Determine the audience:
- Technical level (beginner, intermediate, expert)
- Role (end user, developer, admin, stakeholder)
- Prior knowledge assumptions
- Context (internal team, external customers, open source community)
-
Select and fill the matching structure template from
references/templates.md. Start simple, then layer in complexity. -
Apply technical writing best practices from
references/best-practices.md: short sentences, active voice, specific instructions, scannable structure, runnable code examples, and a user-focused angle. -
Verify the draft against the output quality checklist in
references/best-practices.md. -
Deliver using the wrapper in
references/output-format.md, including the documentation checklist and maintenance notes.
