SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Technical tutorials often skip prerequisites, hide setup steps, or claim outputs that were never verified, leaving readers stuck midway. This Skill produces tutorials built around one reproducible outcome, with verified commands and honest validation notes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Outcome-focused structure: Defines a single reader outcome and starting point, then organizes steps around the reader's actions with explicit working directories and file paths. - Evidence-based prerequisites: Names runtimes, dependencies, and accounts only when supported by project evidence, resolving missing prerequisites instead of inventing fictional sequences. - Verifiable checkpoints: States what success looks like at each step, tracks which commands were actually executed, and adds recovery guidance based on observed failures rather than speculative troubleshooting lists. - Use Case: A maintainer needs a hands-on guide for a new CLI tool. The Skill inspects the example files, writes complete minimal snippets with placeholders distinguished from literal values, and delivers the tutorial with a validation note marking untested steps. ## Quick Start Write a step-by-step tutorial for setting up and running the example in this repository, including prerequisites, verification checkpoints, and recovery steps for common failures.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a technical tutorial that readers can actually follow?▼

Define one outcome and the reader's starting point, then organize steps around the reader's actions with explicit working directories and file paths. Show complete minimal snippets, state what success looks like at each checkpoint, and add recovery guidance based on observed failures.

How to structure prerequisites in a software tutorial?▼

Name the required runtime, dependencies, accounts, and setup only when supported by evidence from the project. Resolve any missing critical prerequisite before writing the steps rather than inventing a fictional sequence.

Should tutorial outputs be verified before publishing?▼

Yes. Execute the command sequence in a disposable environment when authorized and practical, track which outputs were observed, and never describe an expected output as observed without running the relevant step.

When is a full tutorial better than a README quickstart?▼

Use a full tutorial when the reader needs hands-on guidance with checkpoints and recovery steps, such as multi-step setups or workflows with meaningful failure modes. A quickstart suffices for single-command or self-evident tasks.

How much troubleshooting should a tutorial include?▼

Add targeted recovery guidance based on failures actually observed during validation. Avoid long speculative troubleshooting lists, and describe cleanup only when the tutorial creates resources or files.
