Docs style guide
Principles
- Be concrete. Prefer commands, examples, and “expected output” over prose.
- Don’t invent behavior. If unsure, link to the source file and mark it as “verify”.
- Optimize for scanning. Short sections, bullets, and tables.
- Call out risk. Anything destructive or security-sensitive should be labeled clearly.
Markdown conventions
- Use sentence-case headings.
- Prefer fenced code blocks with a language (
bash,yaml,json). - For warnings/notes, use simple callouts:
> **Note**
> ...
> **Warning**
> ...
