Diátaxis Documentation Skill

The Diátaxis framework organizes documentation by user need, not by topic. This skill helps you create documentation that works for your audience.

The Four Categories

Diátaxis distinguishes four documentation needs using a 2×2 matrix:

Practical Theoretical
Learning Tutorials Explanation
Working How-to Guides Reference

Quick Reference

  • Tutorials (Learning + Practical): "Teach me by doing"
  • How-to Guides (Working + Practical): "Help me accomplish X"
  • Reference (Working + Theoretical): "Tell me how things work"
  • Explanation (Learning + Theoretical): "Help me understand why"
