What problem does it solve?
Squad teams often struggle with inconsistent documentation across guides, references, and tutorials, leading to confusion and poor discoverability. This Skill enforces a Microsoft Style Guide baseline and squad-specific conventions to ensure clarity, consistency, and maintainability.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Enforces sentence-case headings, active voice, second-person perspective, and present tense across docs.
- Applies squad formatting patterns for scannability, practical prompts, warnings for experimental features, and consistent cross-references.
- Structures content with a defined hierarchy: Title (H1), warning/callout, Try this, Overview, horizontal rule, and content sections (H2).
- Supports test synchronization by requiring updates to test expectations when documentation pages are added or modified.
Quick Start
Apply the Microsoft Style Guide and Squad formatting patterns to new documentation pages.
