fpf-authoring-conventions-style-guide

The FPF authoring style guide is a standardized convention set enforcing a uniform 1 to 13 section structure to ensure consistent pattern documentation, readability, and teachability across artifacts.

Apply the E.8 style guide to your pattern documentation by ensuring all required sections, archetypal grounding, bias annotation, and conformance checklists are present during authoring and review.

The best way to check pattern conformance is using an embedded conformance checklist that verifies required sections, System and Episteme grounding, and State of the Art alignment visibility.

No, the FPF style guide requires no external tools to implement archetypal grounding and bias annotation. It operates as a standalone reference articulating evaluation criteria for pattern artifacts.

Pattern documentation lacks consistent structure due to drift and fragmentation across artifacts. Applying a unified canonical pattern template resolves this by enforcing a standard 1 to 13 section structure.

You need archetypal grounding in pattern authoring whenever creating or reviewing artifacts to provide explicit System and Episteme grounding and cross discipline lenses for clear evaluation.
