Documentation Structure

Component-Based (/tools/*): Features organized by tool capabilities

Example structure:

/tools/steel/
├── Overview/                 # Introduction and setup
├── Steel CLI/             # Command-line features
├── Steel JS SDK/          # Testing and programmatic usage
└── Integrations/             # External connections

Writing Guidelines

Follow our content rhythm pattern:

Paragraph (2-3 sentences) → Code Example → Paragraph → List/Table → Code
  • 60% code, 40% text - Show, don't just tell
  • Never put two paragraphs in a row - Break with code/lists/tables
  • Every concept needs a code example
  • Use complete, contextual sentences - Explain "why" before "how"
