Documentation

Write, edit, or update product/feature documentation based on the user's requirements.

File Location and Naming

Location: Depends on document type:

  • Technical docs: nimbalyst-local/Notes/Technical/[topic].md
  • Meeting notes: nimbalyst-local/Notes/Meetings/[date]-[topic].md
  • General notes: nimbalyst-local/Notes/[topic].md

Naming conventions:

  • Use kebab-case: api-integration-guide.md, onboarding-process.md
  • For meeting notes, include date: 2025-12-30-product-sync.md
  • Be descriptive: The filename should clearly indicate the content

Your Task

Create a well-structured, clear document that meets the user's needs. Ask clarifying questions if the requirements are unclear.

Important Resources

  • Scan the code thoroughly and make sure the documentation precisely reflects the way the code actually functions
  • Review the plan for each feature as your document it. If the code and plan don't match, bring this to the attention of the user

Before Writing

Consider:

  • Purpose: What is this document for?
  • Audience: Who will read it?
  • Tone: Formal, casual, technical?
  • Length: Brief overview or comprehensive guide?
  • Format: Prose, lists, tables, or mixed?

Document Structure

Use appropriate structure based on document type:

General Documents:

  • Clear title
  • Introduction/overview
  • Main content sections
  • Conclusion/summary (if needed)

Technical Documents:

  • Overview
  • Prerequisites (if applicable)
  • Step-by-step instructions
  • Examples
  • Troubleshooting

Reference Documents:

  • Quick summary
  • Detailed sections
  • Index or navigation

Important Resources

  • Scan the code thoroughly and make sure the documentation

Writing Guidelines

  2. Be concise: Remove unnecessary words
  3. Use headings: Break up content
  4. Show, don't tell: Use examples where helpful
  5. Stay consistent: Match formatting throughout
