+# Documentation Writing Instructions
+
+These are our documentation writing style guidelines.
+
+## General Style tips
+
+* Get to the point fast.
+* Talk like a person.
+* Simpler is better.
+* Be brief. Give customers just enough information to make decisions confidently. Prune every excess word.
+* We use Hugo to generate our docs.
+
+## Grammar
+
+* Use present tense verbs (is, open) instead of past tense (was, opened).
+* Write factual statements and direct commands. Avoid hypotheticals like "could" or "would".
+* Use active voice where the subject performs the action.
+* Write in second person (you) to speak directly to readers.
+* Use gender-neutral language.
+* Avoid multiple -ing words that can create ambiguity.
+* Keep prepositional phrases simple and clear.
+* Place modifiers close to what they modify.
+
+## Capitalization
+
+* Use sentence-style capitalization for everything except proper nouns.
+* Always capitalize proper nouns.
+* Don’t capitalize the spelled-out form of an acronym unless it's a proper noun.
+* In programming languages, follow the traditional capitalization of keywords and other special terms.
+* Don't use all uppercase for emphasis.
+
+## Numbers
+
+* Spell out numbers for zero through nine, unless space is limited. Use numerals for 10 and above.
+* Spell out numbers at the beginning of a sentence.
+* Spell out ordinal numbers such as first, second, and third. Don't add -ly to form adverbs from ordinal numbers.
+
+## Punctuation
+
+* Use short, simple sentences.
+* End all sentences with a period.
+* Use one space after punctuation marks.
+* After a colon, capitalize only proper nouns.
+* Avoid semicolons - use separate sentences instead.
+* Use question marks sparingly.
+* Don't use slashes (/) - use "or" instead.
+
+## Text formatting
+
+* UI elements, like menu items, dialog names, and names of text boxes, should be in bold text.
+* Use code style for:
+    * Code elements, like method names, property names, and language keywords.
+    * SQL commands.
+    * Command-line commands.
+    * Database table and column names.
+    * Resource names (like virtual machine names) that shouldn't be localized.
+    * URLs that you don't want to be selectable.
+* For code placeholders, if you want users to replace part of an input string with their own values, use angle brackets (less than < and greater than > characters) on that placeholder text.
+* Don't apply an inline style like italic, bold, or inline code style to headings.
+
+## Alerts
+
+* Alerts are a Markdown extension to create block quotes that render with colors and icons that indicate the significance of the content. The following alert types are supported:
+
+    * `[!NOTE]` Information the user should notice even if skimming.
+    * `[!TIP]` Optional information to help a user be more successful.
+    * `[!IMPORTANT]` Essential information required for user success.
+    * `[!CAUTION]` Negative potential consequences of an action.
+    * `[!WARNING]` Dangerous certain consequences of an action.
+
+## Links
+
+* Links to other documentation articles should be relative, not absolute. Include the `.md` suffix.
+* Links to bookmarks within the same article should be relative and start with `#`.
+* Link descriptions should be descriptive and make sense on their own. Don't use "click here" or "this link" or "here".
+
+## Images
+
+* Use images only when they add value.
+* Images have a descriptive and meaningful alt text that starts with "Screenshot showing" and ends with ".".
+* Videos have a descriptive and meaningful alt text or title that starts with "Video showing" and ends with ".".
+
+## Numbered steps
+
+* Write complete sentences with capitalization and periods
+* Use imperative verbs
+* Clearly indicate where actions take place (UI location)
+* For single steps, use a bullet instead of a number
+* When allowed, use angle brackets for menu sequences (File > Open)
+* When writing ordered lists, only use 1's.
+
+## Terminology
+
+* Use "Select" instead of "Click" for UI elements like buttons, menu items, links, dropdowns, and checkboxes.
+* Use "might" instead of "may" for conditional statements.
+* Avoid latin abbreviations like "e.g.". Use "for example" instead.
+* Use the verb "to enable" instead "to allow" unless you're referring to permissions.
+* Follow the terms and capitalization guidelines in #fetch [VS Code docs wiki](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/wiki/VS-Code-glossary)

+Imagine you're an experienced technical writer. You need to review content for
+how fresh and up to date it is. Apply the following:
+
+1. Improve the presentational layer - components, splitting up the page into smaller pages
+   Consider the following:
+
+    1. Can you use tabs to display multiple variants of the same steps?
+    2. Can you make a key item of information stand out with a call-out?
+    3. Can you reduce a large amount of text to a series of bullet points?
+    4. Are there other code components you could use?
+2. Check if any operating systems or package versions mentioned are still current and supported
+3. Check the accuracy of the content
+4. If appropriate, follow the document from start to finish to see if steps make sense in sequence
+5. Try to add some helpful next steps to the end of the document, but only if there are no *Next steps* or *Related pages* section, already.
+6. Try to clarify, shorten or improve the efficiency of some sentences.
+7. Check for LLM readibility.
+
+Do your best and don't be lazy.
