Editorial Guide#

This guide defines documentation style for PyUnitWizard contributors.

Goal: keep docs clear, operational, and consistent with ecosystem standards.

Core principles#

  1. Narrative first: write guided paths, not disconnected notes.

  2. Explicit over terse: prefer concrete instructions over vague summaries.

  3. Contract-aware writing: link canonical sources when behavior is contractual.

  4. Operational language: state what to run, what to verify, and expected outcomes.

Style rules#

  • Keep tone direct and technical.

  • Prefer active voice.

  • Avoid unexplained acronyms.

  • Avoid marketing language in contributor pages.

Maintenance rules#

When behavior changes:

  • update User docs for integration-impacting changes,

  • update Developer docs for workflow/architecture changes,

  • keep docs and devguide/ synchronized.
