Documentation Standards

Writing Guidelines

principles:
  - Clear and concise language

structure:
  - Start with "why" (problem/benefit)
  - Show "what" (solution/feature)
  - Explain "how" (implementation)
  - Provide examples
  - Link to related topics

formatting:
  - Use headers for scanning
  - Bullet points for lists
  - Tables for comparisons
  - Code blocks with syntax highlighting
  - Callout boxes for warnings/tips
