Documentation standards for the teams that build and maintain Webcreatuto's internal systems.

We outline how endpoint groups, error tables, and auth flows are ordered so a new hire can trace a request from the gateway to the database without jumping between pages.
See the starter kitQuick-start guides, conceptual overviews, and deep reference sections each get their own tone and depth. This separation keeps senior engineers from wading through onboarding material.
Review the guided setupEvery example we ship is tested against the current build, uses realistic variable names, and shows expected output. Version drift is flagged during the monthly audit cycle.
Check the support packageEndpoint lists without context fail fast. We walk through the navigation order, error code conventions, and review checkpoints that keep references accurate after each release.

A deliverable is considered complete only after the internal review checklist passes: every code sample compiles against the target branch, every endpoint reference includes a real request and response pair, and every structural diagram matches the current module map. We do not treat a draft as finished just because the text reads well.
Each manual carries a version stamp tied to the release tag it describes. If the codebase moves ahead of that tag, the manual is marked as out of date until we run the diff audit and update the affected sections. We do not silently edit older pages to reflect newer behavior without noting the change in the revision log.
Standard manuals cover function signatures, data flow between modules, configuration keys, and error handling paths. We leave out internal implementation commentary that does not affect how another team integrates with the system. If a client needs line-by-line walkthroughs of business logic, that is scoped separately as a deep reference add-on.
Accuracy ownership transfers to the client once the final version is accepted and the revision log is closed. Until that point, we run the verification pass and fix any mismatches we find. After handover, we offer a maintenance window where we track changes against new commits, but that window is a separate agreement with its own terms.
When a term in the codebase has multiple meanings across modules, we flag it in the glossary and use the definition that matches the dominant usage in the repository. If the client prefers a different convention, we apply that override consistently and note it in the style guide attached to the project.
Deprecated features are moved to an appendix with a clear deprecation notice and a pointer to the replacement module. We do not delete the old reference outright because downstream teams may still run legacy integrations. The main body of the manual is updated to reflect the current recommended path.
