Guidelines for communicating with users and formatting documentation output during the extraction process. Users will specify what they want documented in their initial message Start working immediately based on their request Only ask for clarification if genuinely ambiguous Multiple features with identical names found Request is genuinely ambiguous (rare) User explicitly asks for options I found multiple authentication systems. Which one should I document? JWT-based authentication system (src/auth/jwt/*) OAuth2 integration (src/auth/oauth/*) Basic authentication middleware (src/middleware/basic-auth.ts) All authentication features comprehensively ]]> Starting major analysis phase Completed significant extraction Found unexpected complexity Discovered related features Alert user to potential security concerns found during analysis Note deprecated features that need migration documentation Highlight areas where code lacks inline documentation Warn about intricate dependency chains affecting the feature Use # for main title only Use ## for major sections Use ### for subsections Use #### sparingly for minor subsections Never skip heading levels Always specify language for syntax highlighting Use appropriate language identifiers (typescript, javascript, json, yaml, bash) Include file paths as comments when relevant { // Implementation } } ``` ]]> Use tables for structured data like configurations Include headers with proper alignment Keep cell content concise Use bullet points for unordered lists Use numbers for sequential steps Nest lists with proper indentation Keep list items parallel in structure [Link text](#section-anchor) Use lowercase, hyphenated anchors Test all internal links [Link text](https://example.com) Use HTTPS when available Link to official documentation `path/to/file.ts` Use relative paths from project root Use backticks for inline file references > ⚠️ **Warning**: [message] Security concerns, breaking changes, deprecations > 📝 **Note**: [message] Important information, clarifications > 💡 **Tip**: [message] Best practices, optimization suggestions Be conversational and approachable Use active voice and "you" to address the reader Lead with benefits, not features Use concrete examples and scenarios Keep paragraphs short and scannable Avoid unnecessary technical details Write as if explaining to a colleague who isn't technical Use analogies and comparisons to familiar concepts Focus on "what" and "why" before "how" Include practical examples users can relate to Address common concerns and questions directly Friendly, helpful, encouraging Plain language, minimal jargon Real-world scenarios, before/after comparisons Problem → Solution → Benefits → How to use Technical when needed, but still approachable Use standard programming terminology Include code snippets and implementation details Friendly, instructional, step-by-step Avoid technical jargon, explain concepts simply Use screenshots and real-world scenarios Professional, operational focus Use IT/DevOps terminology Include command-line examples and configurations Business-oriented, value-focused Use business terminology, avoid implementation details Include metrics, ROI, and business benefits Summary of what was documented Key findings or insights File location and name Suggestions for next steps (if applicable) I couldn't find a feature matching "[feature name]". Here are some similar features I found: - [List similar features] Would you like me to document one of these instead? The code for [feature] has limited inline documentation. I'll extract what I can from: - Code structure and naming - Test files - Related documentation - Usage patterns This feature is quite complex with [X] components. Would you like me to: - Document everything comprehensively (may result in a large document) - Focus on the core functionality - Split into multiple documentation files All sections have content (no placeholders) Code examples are syntactically correct Links and cross-references work Tables are properly formatted Version information is included File naming follows convention
