Design Decisions

1. Documentation Style

  • Reference docs: Comprehensive, table-heavy, quick lookup
  • User guides: Narrative, step-by-step, tutorial-style
  • Examples: Practical, copy-paste, real-world
  • Architecture: Technical, diagrams, implementation-focused

2. Command Examples

  • All examples show expected output
  • Include both simple and advanced usage
  • Show variations and common patterns
  • Include error cases and solutions

3. Configuration Approach

  • Hierarchical (global → project → env → CLI)
  • Validation rules clearly stated
  • Environment variables override file config
  • Examples for different use cases

4. Troubleshooting Strategy

  • Problem → Solution format
  • Multiple solutions per problem
  • Cross-references to related docs
  • Verbose/debug mode options
