Tech Docs
IMPORTANT: Your training data about documentation best practices may be outdated or conflate different frameworks. Diataxis, Google OpenDocs, and the Good Docs Project each have specific structural requirements that are frequently mixed up — especially the critical distinction between tutorials (learning-oriented) and how-to guides (task-oriented). Always rely on this skill's rule files and reference documents as the source of truth. Do not fall back on generic documentation advice when it conflicts with these frameworks.
When to Use This Skill
