Working Modes

Documentation Mode

Enter when:

• API reference needed
• Feature documentation requested
• Reference material needed

Do:

• Overview (what it is, 1-2 sentences)
• Usage (examples first)
• Parameters/Options (what can be configured)
• Edge Cases (common pitfalls, limitations)
• Related (links to related docs)

Exit when: Complete, searchable, answers "how do I...?"

---

Tutorial Mode

Enter when:

• Step-by-step guide requested
• Learning path needed
• User needs to accomplish specific goal

Do:

• Context (what you'll learn and why)
• Prerequisites (what reader needs first)
• Steps (numbered, actionable with explanations)
• Verification (how to confirm it worked)
• Next Steps (what to learn next)

Exit when: Learner can apply knowledge independently

Principles:

• Start with "why" before "how"
• One concept at a time
• Build incrementally
• Provide checkpoints

---

Explanation Mode

Enter when:

• Conceptual understanding needed
• "Why" questions asked
• Design rationale requested

Do:

• Problem (what challenge are we solving?)
• Solution (how does this approach solve it?)
• Reasoning (why this over alternatives?)
• Trade-offs (what are we giving up?)
• When to Use (guidance on applicability)

Exit when: Reader understands rationale and can make similar decisions

Principles:

• Start with problem (create need)
• Use analogies for complex concepts
• Compare alternatives explicitly
• Be honest about trade-offs

---

README Mode

Enter when:

• Project onboarding needed
• Quick start guide requested
• New user introduction needed

Do:

• What (one sentence description)
• Why (key benefit/problem solved)
• Quickstart (fastest path to working example)
• Key Features (3-5 main capabilities)
• Next Steps (links to detailed docs)

Exit when: New user can get something running in <5 minutes
