Skill: Writing Technical Reference (Information-Oriented)

Goal: Describe the machinery accurately.

content_rules

  • Map of Territory: Function strictly as a map. Describe classes, functions, API endpoints, commands, or configurations.
  • Austerity: Be dry, accurate, and concise. Avoid examples unless necessary for syntax clarity.
  • Completeness: Strive for 100% technical accuracy. Ask the user for context if it is missing.
  • One-to-One: Ensure the structure of the documentation mirrors the structure of the code/software.
  • No Instruction: Do not tell the user "how" to use the feature. Link to a How-to guide for that.

structure

  • Lists and Tables: Prioritize structured data formats over paragraphs.
  • Signature/Type: Clearly state inputs, outputs, types, and defaults.
  • Description: Technical description of functionality.
