# Documentation Writing Skill

@./../_shared/metabase-style-guide.md

## When writing documentation

### Start here

1. **Who is this for?** Match complexity to audience. Don't oversimplify hard things or overcomplicate simple ones.
2. **What do they need?** Get them to the answer fast. Nobody wants to be in docs longer than necessary.
3. **What did you struggle with?** Those common questions you had when learning? Answer them (without literally including the question).
