Google Codelab Authoring

Use this skill to write high-quality Google Codelabs (.lab.md).

Core Rules

1. Target Readability: Keep the Gunning Fog Index below 12. Run scripts/fog.cjs to check it.
2. Validate Structure: Run scripts/validate_codelab.cjs before you finish.
3. Use Simple Words: Avoid jargon. See references/style_guide/jargon.md and references/style_guide/inclusive-documentation.md.
4. Action-Oriented Steps: Give clear, active steps. Do not use words like "just" or "simply".

Workflow

1. Plan

Before you write:

1. Scope: Check references/content_recommendations.md.
2. Audience: See references/writing_guide.md for tone.
3. Language: Choose Polyglot (best) or Block Includes. See references/polyglot.md.
