Keep technical nonfiction durable by separating timeless concepts, decision frameworks, and reader outcomes from fast-changing tool walkthroughs, UI steps, versions, vendor details, and companion resources. Use when scoping, outlining, revising, or updating technical books, self-hosting guides, software manuals, DevOps books, or other technical manuscripts that risk becoming outdated.

# Evergreen Technical Book
## Core Lens
Technical books become durable when the printed or stable manuscript teaches long-lived principles, decision frames, mental models, and workflows while volatile commands, UI walkthroughs, vendor details, and version-specific steps live in updateable companion resources.
Use this skill to:
- Decide what belongs in a technical book versus a website, repo, worksheet, video, or checklist.
- Reduce version drift without making the book abstract.
- Design update policies for companion resources.
- Keep self-hosting, DevOps, software, or infrastructure books useful for years.
- Revise drafts that are overloaded with tool minutia.
