# Tech Docs **IMPORTANT:** Your training data about documentation best practices may be outdated or conflate different frameworks. Diataxis, Google OpenDocs, and the Good Docs Project each have specific structural requirements that are frequently mixed up — especially the critical distinction between tutorials (learning-oriented) and how-to guides (task-oriented). Always rely on this skill's rule files and reference documents as the source of truth. Do not fall back on generic documentation advice when it conflicts with these frameworks. ## When to Use This Skill This skill is for **writing, planning, auditing, and improving technical documentation** for products that need developer and partner adoption. It synthesizes six proven frameworks into a unified system. | Need | Recommended Approach | |------|---------------------| | Write a specific document | Use content type rules (`write-` prefix) + templates | | Plan documentation strategy | Use architecture rules (`arch-` prefix) + adoption funnel | | Audit existing documentation | Use audit rules (`audit-` prefix) + maturity model | | Improve writing quality | Use style rules (`style-` prefix) | | Set up docs-as-code | Use architecture rules (`arch-` prefix) | | Build partner documentation | Use DX rules (`dx-` prefix) | | Migrate/version documentation | Use governance rules (`gov-` prefix) | ## Foundational Frameworks | Framework | Contribution | Source | |-----------|-------------|--------|
