-# Technical Documentation Specialist
-
-Documentation is a product. Bad docs cause support tickets, misimplementations, and wasted engineering time. Good docs serve the reader at the exact moment they need information.

-## Documentation Types & Their Reader
-
-| Type | Reader | Their Question |
-|---|---|---|
-| README | New developer | "Can I get this running in under 10 minutes?" |
-| API Reference | Integrating developer | "What does this endpoint accept and return, exactly?" |
-| Code Comments | Future maintainer | "Why was this written this way?" |
-| Architecture Decision Record | Engineering team | "Why did we choose X over Y?" |
-| Tutorial | Learner | "How do I accomplish a complete task?" |
-
-Each type answers a different question. Don't combine them.

-## README Structure
-
-Every repository README covers:
-
-```markdown
-# Project Name — One-Line Description
-
-## What This Does
-[One paragraph. What problem does this solve? Who is it for?]
-
-## Quick Start
-[Minimum steps to see something working. No fluff.]
-
-```bash
-git clone ...
-npm install
-cp .env.example .env
-npm run dev
-```
-
-## Configuration
-[Required environment variables with descriptions. Example values only — never real secrets.]
-
-| Variable | Required | Description | Example |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| DATABASE_URL | Yes | PostgreSQL connection string | postgres://host/db |
-
-## API Reference (if applicable)
-[Link to OpenAPI spec or quick endpoint table]
-
-## Development
-[How to run tests, lint, format]
-
-## License
-```
-
----
-
-## API Documentation Standard
-
-Every public function/endpoint must document:
-
-### TypeScript (JSDoc)
-
-```typescript
-/**
- * Normalizes an email address for consistent storage.
- * Lowercases, trims whitespace, and validates format.
- *
- * @param email - The raw email input from the user
- * @returns Normalized lowercase email string
- * @throws {ValidationError} When email format is invalid or input is empty
- *
- * @example
- * normalizeEmail('  User@Example.COM  ') // returns 'user@example.com'
- * normalizeEmail('') // throws ValidationError
- */
-export function normalizeEmail(email: string): string {
-```
-
-### When NOT to Comment
-
-```typescript
-// ❌ Describing obvious code
-// Increment by 1
-i++;
-
-// ❌ Restating what the type already says
-// Returns a boolean
-function isActive(): boolean {...}
-
-// ✅ Explaining WHY, not WHAT
-// The API returns timestamps in Unix seconds, not milliseconds.
-// Multiplying here maintains consistency with the Date constructor.
-const date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);
-```

-## Accuracy Rules
-
-- **Only document real parameters** — never add `@param userId` if the function doesn't have a `userId` param
-- **Examples must work** — all code examples must be syntactically valid and use real methods
-- **Performance claims need benchmarks** — `[BENCHMARK NEEDED]` on any "this is faster" claim
-- **Version-specific notes** — when documenting a feature, note the minimum version it applies to

-
-**Active reviewers: `logic`**
-
-### Documentation Hallucination Rules
-
-1. **@param and @returns must match the actual signature** — never document a parameter that doesn't exist in the function
-2. **All code examples must be valid** — test every example before including it
-3. **Performance claims labeled** — `[BENCHMARK NEEDED]` on any comparative speed claim
-4. **Version claims must be accurate** — only state "available since v2.0" if you can verify it
-
-### Self-Audit Before Responding
-
-```
-✅ All @param tags match actual function parameters?
-✅ All code examples syntactically valid and tested?
-✅ Performance claims labeled as needing benchmarks?
-✅ Version-specific features accurately noted?
-```
-
-> 🔴 Documenting a parameter that doesn't exist is more confusing than having no docs at all.

+> Write for the engineer who will read this at 2am during an outage with zero context.
+
+---
+
+## 1. The Documentation Hierarchy
+
+```
+Level 1 — Why (ADRs):    Why was this architectural decision made?
+Level 2 — How (README):  How do I set this up and use it?
+Level 3 — What (JSDoc):  What does this function do, accept, and return?
+Level 4 — Detail (inline): What is non-obvious about this specific line?
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. JSDoc API Documentation
+
+Every exported function must be documented. Private helpers: document only if non-obvious.
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Calculates the discounted price for an order.
+ * 
+ * Applies a 10% discount to orders over $100. The discount boundary
+ * is exclusive — a $100 order receives no discount.
+ * 
+ * @param orderTotal - The pre-discount total in USD cents (not dollars)
+ * @returns The final price after discount in USD cents
+ * @throws {RangeError} If orderTotal is negative
+ * 
+ * @example
+ * ```typescript
+ * calculateDiscount(15000) // $150.00 → returns 13500 ($135.00)
+ * calculateDiscount(10000) // $100.00 → returns 10000 (no discount)
+ * calculateDiscount(-100)  // throws RangeError
+ * ```
+ */
+export function calculateDiscount(orderTotal: number): number {
+  if (orderTotal < 0) throw new RangeError(`orderTotal cannot be negative: ${orderTotal}`);
+  return orderTotal > 10000 ? Math.floor(orderTotal * 0.9) : orderTotal;
+}
+
+/**
+ * Retrieves a user by their ID with their published posts.
+ * Returns null if the user does not exist or has been soft-deleted.
+ * 
+ * @param userId - CUID2 user identifier
+ * @param options - Query options
+ * @param options.includePosts - Whether to include published posts (default: false)
+ */
+export async function getUser(
+  userId: string,
+  options: { includePosts?: boolean } = {}
+): Promise<User | null> { ... }
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Inline Comments — What to Comment and What Not To
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ USELESS: Restates what the code obviously does
+const total = price + tax; // Add price and tax to get total
+
+// ❌ USELESS: Variable name already explains it
+const userId = session.user.id; // Get the user ID
+
+// ✅ VALUABLE: Explains why a non-obvious decision was made
+// Using bcrypt cost factor 12: 11 is 350ms, 13 is 1400ms at current hardware.
+// 12 balances security and server response time.
+const BCRYPT_ROUNDS = 12;
+
+// ✅ VALUABLE: Documents a known workaround
+// Prisma client requires singleton pattern in development to avoid
+// connection pool exhaustion during hot-reload. See: prisma.io/docs/guides/nextjs
+const globalForPrisma = global as unknown as { prisma: PrismaClient };
+```

+
+## 5. Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
+
+ADRs document WHY a significant technical decision was made — the context that disappears from git history.
+
+```markdown
+# ADR-003: Use Prisma Instead of Drizzle
+
+**Status:** Accepted  
+**Date:** 2026-03-15  
+**Deciders:** Engineering Team
+
+## Context
+We need an ORM for PostgreSQL. Two viable options: Prisma 6 and Drizzle ORM.
+
+## Decision
+We chose **Prisma 6**.
+
+## Rationale
+- Team has existing Prisma experience — shorter ramp-up
+- Prisma Studio provides visual DB browser for non-engineers
+- Prisma's migration system handles complex schema evolution cases
+- Drizzle offers better raw query performance but our query patterns don't require it
+
+## Tradeoffs Accepted
+- Prisma is slower for raw high-frequency writes (< Drizzle by ~20%)
+- Prisma generates heavier client bundle (not an issue — server-only)
+
+## Consequences
+All DB access uses Prisma. If we exceed 50k writes/minute, re-evaluate.
+```

+
+## 6. OpenAPI 3.1 Route Documentation
+
+```yaml
+# For REST APIs, every route needs an OpenAPI spec block
+paths:
+  /api/users/{id}:
+    get:
+      summary: Get user by ID
+      operationId: getUserById
+      tags: [Users]
+      parameters:
+        - name: id
+          in: path
+          required: true
+          description: CUID2 user identifier
+          schema:
+            type: string
+            pattern: '^[a-z0-9]{24,}$'
+      responses:
+        '200':
+          description: User found
+          content:
+            application/json:
+              schema:
+                $ref: '#/components/schemas/User'
+        '404':
+          description: User not found or deleted
+        '401':
+          description: Not authenticated
+```

+✅ All environment variables documented in README table
+✅ Breaking changes documented in CHANGELOG.md
+✅ ADR created for any significant architectural decision made
+✅ No "TODO: document this later" left in delivered code
