LLM-Friendly Documentation

Write each page as a canonical answer to one engineering question. The first paragraph must define the concept, when to use it, and the operational outcome.

Required section order

  1. Overview
  2. Prerequisites
  3. Install or Configure
  4. Verify
  5. Troubleshooting
  6. Security
  7. Related pages

Code block rules

  • Always use an explicit language tag.
  • Add one line before the code explaining what the command does.
  • Add expected output when the command proves success.

Diagram rules

  • Prefer Mermaid.
  • Add a short paragraph below each diagram summarizing the flow in plain language.
  • Use stable node names such as Obtrace Agent, Signal Correlator, Policy Engine, and Pull Request Bot.
