Write a how-to guide for practitioners accomplishing a specific task with a ZIO library. Guides are goal-oriented and task-focused, not pedagogical. Use when writing step-by-step practical guides.
Write a tutorial for newcomers learning a topic in a ZIO library. Tutorials teach concepts step-by-step in a linear path for learning-oriented, not task-oriented, purposes. Use when writing comprehensive learning guides.
Reference for mdoc code block modifiers and Docusaurus admonitions used in ZIO documentation. Use when writing or reviewing documentation with Scala code examples.
Write reference documentation for a module containing multiple related data types. Use when documenting a cohesive domain model (e.g. http-model, resource-management) where types work together as a system.
Write reference documentation for a specific ZIO data type. Research the type, write comprehensive documentation with examples, verify mdoc compilation, and integrate into docs.
Integration checklist for new ZIO docs pages. Handles sidebar wiring, index.md linking, and compilation gate (mdoc + Docusaurus build). Cross-referencing is handled separately by the integrate workflow (Phase 2).
Remove redundant content from documentation. Use when sections repeat information unnecessarily, type definitions appear multiple times, concepts are introduced more than once, or transition words clutter meaning. Reduces cognitive load through deduplication and strategic cross-referencing.
Prose style rules for documentation (reference pages, how-to guides, tutorials). Use this skill whenever writing or editing documentation to ensure consistency, clarity, and professionalism across all docs.
