Core approach

  • Document what engineers and operators need to act.
  • Prefer accuracy, concrete examples, and real workflows.
  • Keep docs aligned with the actual system, commands, and file paths.
  • Avoid documentation that is broad but operationally empty.

Practical guidance

  • Focus on setup, usage, debugging, extension, release, and operational decision points.
  • Update adjacent docs when behavior or workflow changes materially.
