API Documentation Skill

Core Principle

APIs are products. Documentation is the user interface.

Your API might be technically perfect, but if developers can't figure out how to use it, it's worthless. Good API documentation:

• Enables self-service (developers don't need to ask questions)
• Shows real examples (copy-paste ready code)
• Documents the "why" not just the "what"
• Stays synchronized with implementation
