SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

mdBook projects often struggle with inconsistent conventions across authoring, review, and publishing. This Skill provides a centralized set of guidelines to standardize where books live, how pages are structured, and what tone to use.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Location and structure: The book resides in the book/ directory at the repository root, with book/src/SUMMARY.md serving as the source of truth.
  • Running example & references: Example fixtures like example_kb are used to validate templates and outputs, ensuring real-world demonstrations.
  • Content rules & tone: Enforces real command outputs, copy-pasteable code blocks, concise and direct tone, and alignment with the docs/specs.
  • Page types & workflows: Outlines command pages, concept pages, the search guide, and the recommended workflows for writing and editing.
  • Updating examples: Guidance on updating example_kb and re-running mdvs commands to refresh fixtures.

Quick Start

Apply the mdBook conventions to your book by following the defined page structure and tone guidelines.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize mdBook documentation conventions across multiple authors?▼

mdBook documentation requires pages in the book/src directory and a SUMMARY.md file as the source of truth. You must structure your repository to include these elements before applying content rules, tone guidelines, and workflow standards.

What is the recommended structure for mdBook pages in a repository?▼

The recommended mdBook structure uses the book/ directory at the repository root with book/src/SUMMARY.md as the source of truth. This layout supports command pages, concept pages, and search guides with consistent tone and copy-pasteable code blocks.

What tone and content rules should I apply when writing mdBook pages?▼

Writing mdBook pages requires a concise, direct tone aligned with docs and specs. Content rules mandate real command outputs, copy-pasteable code blocks, and specific workflows for writing, editing, and reviewing pages.

How do I update example fixtures in an mdBook project?▼

Update mdBook example fixtures like example_kb by following the provided guidance to refresh templates and outputs. Re-run mdvs commands to validate real-world demonstrations and ensure updated examples align with current conventions.

Does this mdBook convention skill work with repositories lacking a SUMMARY.md file?▼

No, this mdBook convention skill requires repositories with mdBook-based docs and a SUMMARY.md reference. It depends on this file as the source of truth to enforce structure, tone, and workflow guidance for writing and reviewing.
