Documentation Patterns

Templates and opinionated structures for technical documentation -- READMEs, Architecture Decision Records, OpenAPI specs, changelogs, and writing style. Each category has individual rule files in rules/ loaded on-demand.

Quick Reference

Category Rule Impact When to Use
README 1 HIGH Starting a project, onboarding contributors
ADR 1 HIGH Recording architecture decisions
API Docs 1 HIGH Documenting REST APIs with OpenAPI 3.1
Changelog 1 MEDIUM Maintaining release history
Writing Style 1 MEDIUM Any technical writing task

Total: 5 rules across 5 categories

Quick Start

## README Skeleton
# Project Name
Brief description -> Quick Start -> Installation -> Usage -> API -> Config -> Contributing -> License

## ADR Format
# ADR-001: Title
Status -> Context -> Decision -> Consequences (positive/negative) -> References

## OpenAPI Minimum
openapi: 3.1.0 with info, paths, components/schemas, error responses

## Changelog Entry
## [1.2.0] - 2026-03-05
### Added / Changed / Deprecated / Removed / Fixed / Security

## Writing Rule of Thumb
Active voice, present tense, second person, one idea per sentence

expect

Diff-aware AI browser testing — analyzes git changes, generates targeted test plans, and executes them via agent-browser. Reads git diff to determine what changed, maps changes to affected pages via route map, generates a test plan scoped to the diff, and runs it with pass/fail reporting. Use when testing UI changes, verifying PRs before merge, running regression checks on changed components, or validating that recent code changes don't break the user-facing experience.
