Core Principles

  1. Explain Why, Not What - Code shows what; docs explain why
  2. Keep it Updated - Outdated docs are worse than no docs
  3. Write for Humans - Clear, concise, jargon-free
  4. Progressive Disclosure - Start simple, provide details on demand
  5. Examples are King - Show, don't just tell
