Documentation guides should follow a consistent structure and provide clear, descriptive content to improve user experience and comprehension.

Structure Requirements:

  • Use standard how-to guide format: “How it works” section before Prerequisites, followed by numbered “Step X/Y” sections
  • Use sentence case for headings (e.g., “Step 1/3. Configure Rancher access” not “Step 1/3. Configure Rancher Access”)
  • Start with H2 headings, not H1 (title comes from frontmatter)
  • Avoid multiple sets of “Step…” sections within a single guide - split into separate guides if needed

Content Clarity:

  • Introduce code snippets with explanatory sentences before showing the code
  • Provide concrete examples for configuration fields and their expected value types
  • Include examples in context of YAML snippets rather than isolated fragments
  • Be descriptive about precise fields users should enter rather than making them infer from examples

Example:

# Configure the update schedule by defining groups and timing
kind: autoupdate_config
metadata:
  name: autoupdate-config
spec:
  agents:
    mode: enabled           # Enable automatic updates
    strategy: halt-on-error # Stop if any group fails
    schedules:
      regular:
        - name: development     # Group name (string)
          days: ["Mon","Tue"]   # Days of week (array)
          start_hour: 4         # UTC hour (0-23)

This approach reduces user confusion, maintains consistency across documentation, and provides the context needed for users to successfully complete tasks without guessing at requirements or structure.
