documentation

name	documentation
description	Use when writing blog posts or documentation markdown files - provides writing style guide (active voice, present tense), content structure patterns, and SEO optimization. Overrides brevity rules for proper grammar.

Documentation Skill

This skill provides comprehensive guidelines for AI coding assistants working on documentation.

When to Use

• Adding a new plugin, feature, or option
• Changing plugin behavior or API signatures
• Fixing bugs that affect code generation
• Writing or updating functionalities/component/composable documentation
• Optimizing documentation for search engines

What It Does

• Create clear, concise, practical documentation optimized for developer experience
• Optimize content for search engines and developer intent
• Structure content for maximum scannability and engagement

Writing Standard

Override: When writing documentation, maintain proper grammar and complete sentences. The "sacrifice grammar for brevity" rule does NOT apply here.

Documentation must be:

• Grammatically correct
• Clear and unambiguous
• Properly punctuated
• Complete sentences (not fragments)

Brevity is still valued, but never at the cost of clarity or correctness.

Available References

Reference	Purpose
../documentation/references/writing-style.md	Voice, tone, sentence structure
../documentation/references/content-patterns.md	Usage patterns, props structure, component patterns
../documentation/references/seo-optimization.md	SEO best practices, titles, descriptions, keywords, FAQs

To remove AI writing patterns and add voice, use the humanizer skill.

Load based on context:

• Writing prose → ../documentation/references/writing-style.md
• Props, options, usage patterns → ../documentation/references/content-patterns.md
• Optimizing for search → ../documentation/references/seo-optimization.md
• Reviewing or editing finished prose → the humanizer skill

Language and Tone

• Use the US spelling. For example, use license, not licence.

Naming Conventions

• Use kebab-case: how-to-do-thing.md
• Be descriptive: multipart-form-data.md not form.md
• Match URL structure: File name becomes the URL path

Writing Patterns

Headings

• H1 (#): No backticks
• H2-H4: Backticks work fine

Links and Cross-References

• Internal links: Use relative paths: /plugins/plugin-ts/
• Anchor links: Link to specific sections: /plugins/plugin-ts/#output-path
• External links: Use full URLs with descriptive text
• Placement: Add links section at the very end of the document

Images and assets

• Location: docs/public/
• Reference: Use relative paths from markdown files
• Formats: Use optimized formats (webp/png/jpg)
• Sizing: Keep file sizes reasonable
• Naming: Use descriptive names: plugin-react-query-example.png

Checklist

• Active voice (85%+)
• Present tense
• 2-3 sentences per paragraph
• Explanation before code
• Validate frontmatter syntax
• Run humanizer pass: remove AI patterns, add voice and specific details
