Development Documentation Style

Make the document easier to use without deleting required facts, flattening the author's voice, or imposing one house style on every repository.

Quick Start

1. Read repository writing rules, the target document, and nearby pages that establish local conventions.
2. Determine whether the user wants findings only or an edit. A review request does not authorize file changes.
3. State the page's primary reader job in one sentence and identify the few structures that obstruct it.
4. Apply the smallest useful changes across the five zoom levels below.
5. Re-read the full page and inspect the diff. Verify links and anchors affected by moves, renames, or deduplication.
