Writing guidelines
- Use active voice: “Run the command” not “The command should be run”
- Address the reader directly: Use “you” instead of “the user”
- Keep sentences concise: Aim for one idea per sentence
- Lead with the goal: Start instructions with what the user wants to accomplish
- Use consistent terminology: Don’t alternate between synonyms for the same concept
- Include examples: Show, don’t just tell
