Documentation Guidelines

These guidelines apply across all environments and stages:

Writing Documentation

• Clear Index: Always write a clear documentation index that describes and provides an overview of the repository
• Essential Pages: Create the following standard pages:
  • Quick Start: Step-by-step guide for getting started
  • Changelog: Record of all significant updates and changes
• Alerts: Use alerts to highlight TODOs, limitations, and known issues
• Organization: Group documentation into meaningful sections
• Avoid Repetition: Reduce duplication by not describing the same feature in multiple pages
• MDX Format: Follow the Fumadocs Markdown Guide for all MDX files

Best Practices

• Use clear, concise language appropriate for your audience
• Include code examples where applicable
• Maintain consistent formatting and structure
• Keep documentation up-to-date with code changes
• Use diagrams and visual aids to explain complex concepts
• Link related documentation together

File Structure

Each documentation directory must contain:

• MDX Files: Content pages (markdown with JSX components)
• Directories: Subfolders for organizing related topics
• meta.json: Navigation metadata with the following structure:

  {
    "title": "Section Title",
    "pages": [
      "index",
      "page-name",
      "subdirectory"
    ]
  }
