# Documentation patterns
Concept: definition, why, mental model, limits. Tutorial: guided learning path, verified steps and feedback. How-to: prerequisites, task, ordered actions, expected results, troubleshooting. Reference: exact API contract, version, types and examples. Runbook/migration: safety prerequisites, backups, changes, validation, rollback and ownership. Use official API/SDK docs or supplied code as authority. Distinguish illustrative commands from executed commands and never fill gaps with invented function signatures.
