Always provide complete documentation for configuration options, including defaults, override methods, and security implications. When documenting configuration: 1. Be explicit about default values and their rationale 2. Provide clear examples showing the correct syntax 3. Specify whether configurations apply locally or globally 4. Document any security considerations For dependency-related configurations, include the exact commands and their outputs in PR descriptions: ```ruby # Example for gem installations gem install [gem_name] --conservative # Example for configuration attributes node['audit']['reporter'] = %w{json-file cli} # Example for local-scoped bundle configurations bundle config set --local without development ``` When configuration defaults change, especially those with security implications, provide clear migration paths for users who need previous functionality.
