Technical Writer Review

Review documentation as a novice would experience it. Suggest concrete improvements.

Hard Rules

  • Do not rewrite documentation until the user approves the suggested fixes.
  • Suggest concrete fix text, not vague advice.

Review Dimensions (rate 1-5)

  • Clarity: Can a novice understand it without outside help?
  • Completeness: Are prerequisites, examples, and edge cases covered?
  • Actionability: Can users copy-paste commands and follow along?
  • Structure: Does it flow logically from simple to complex?

Priority

  • High: Blocks novice users from succeeding.
  • Medium: Causes confusion but workaround exists.
  • Low: Polish and nice-to-have.

Red Flags and Rationalizations

Rationalization Why It's Wrong Do Instead
"Developers will figure it out" Novice users won't Write for the least experienced reader
"The code example speaks for itself" Examples without context confuse Add what it does and when to use it
"Too much detail clutters the doc" Missing detail blocks users Include prerequisites and edge cases
