Documentation Product Alignment
Audit VS Code Copilot documentation against current product capabilities and produce targeted, style-compliant edits. Follow the docs-writing style guide for all writing rules.
Guardrails
- Factual only. Every claim must map to something the product does today. No superlatives, no competitive comparisons, no invented terminology.
- Two audiences. Humans read the prose; AI agents and search crawlers index Keywords, MetaDescriptions, and opening paragraphs. Both matter.
- Minimal edits. Change only what is inaccurate, outdated, or missing. One precise sentence beats a rewritten section.
- Verifiable. If you cannot point to a UI element, setting, or documented behavior, do not write it.
Workflow
- Gather context. Read the latest release notes, check github.com/features/copilot, and review any competitive claims or feature matrices the user provides.
- Audit high-traffic pages. Read each page and compare against current product truth. Focus on MetaDescriptions, Keywords, opening paragraphs, and terminology.
- Gap analysis. List what is inaccurate, outdated, or missing. Map each gap to a file and location. Prioritize by page traffic.
- Edit. Apply targeted changes. Vary phrasing across pages to avoid repetition.
- Verify. Search changed files for banned words, em-dashes, and MetaDescription length violations.
