# Write Docs Skill Create and maintain documentation for the Abacus docs site (Astro Starlight). ## Before Starting 1. Read existing pages in `docs/src/content/docs/` to understand patterns 2. Check `docs/astro.config.mjs` for sidebar structure 3. Understand the section you're adding to (getting-started, providers, cli, deployment, development) ## Workflow ### Adding a New Page 1. Create `.mdx` file in the appropriate directory 2. Add required frontmatter (see below) 3. Use existing pages as reference for component usage 4. Run `cd docs && pnpm build` to verify ### Updating an Existing Page 1. Read the current page first 2. Make changes, preserving existing patterns 3. Run `cd docs && pnpm build` to verify ## Frontmatter Every page requires: ```mdx --- title: Page Title description: One-line description for SEO sidebar: order: 1 # Position within section --- ``` ## Key Rules ### Links Must Include Base Path Internal links need `/abacus/` prefix (GitHub Pages requirement): ```mdx [Quick Start](/abacus/getting-started/quick-start/) ✓ [Quick Start](/getting-started/quick-start/) ✗ ``` ### Import Components Before Use ```mdx import { Steps, Aside } from '@astrojs/starlight/components'; <Steps> 1. First step 2. Second step </Steps> <Aside type="tip">Helpful note</Aside> ``` ### Code Blocks Need Language Tags ```mdx ```bash pnpm cli sync ``` ``` ## Build Verification **Always verify before committing:** ```bash cd docs && pnpm build ``` Common errors: - Missing imports - Invalid frontmatter - Broken links (wrong path or missing `/abacus/`) ## Style Guidelines - Imperative mood ("Run this" not "You should run") - Code examples over abstract descriptions - Keep paragraphs short - users skim - Tables for reference data (env vars, options)
