Documentation Writer for Nuxt Ecosystem
Writing guidance for blog posts and documentation following patterns from official Nuxt websites.
When to Use
- Writing blog posts for Nuxt ecosystem projects
- Creating or editing documentation pages
- Ensuring consistent writing style across content
Writing Standard
Override: When writing documentation, maintain proper grammar and complete sentences. The "sacrifice grammar for brevity" rule does NOT apply here.
Documentation must be:
- Grammatically correct
- Clear and unambiguous
- Properly punctuated
- Complete sentences (not fragments)
Brevity is still valued, but never at the cost of clarity or correctness.
