Chart the floor before you add rooms
Documentation is a floor plan, not a launch post. Walk it like a harbor, not a blog.

Most product docs are blogs with a sidebar. The Chart is a floor plan: bind a face, install a harbor, configure a thread, read the refusals.
Short chapters on purpose
If a chapter needs a novel, the product is hiding. We kept eight doors. You can replace them. You should not replace them with a single "getting started" that never ends.
Code is furniture too
The blocks copy. The tabs switch. The callouts are ice, not alarms. None of this is an SDK. It is a place to put your SDK later.
Walk the Chart before you add a ninth room. If you cannot walk it, the harbor is not ready to sell.
