How it works

Split or merge is the oldest argument in documentation, and it used to come down to whoever felt strongest about it. It doesn't anymore. A retrieval system cuts your articles into pieces along your headings, so where you put a boundary now decides what a customer's AI sees and what it never sees. This kit is the decisions that come before writing: how many articles a topic needs, how long each one should be, and what to do when the same task works six different ways depending on the platform.

The full prompt, exactly as it appears in the pack. Nothing removed.

Write a hub page for this category. A hub routes people, it does not explain things. Category: [name] Articles in it: [paste the titles, and a line on what each covers] Who lands here: [what you know about them] Rules: - The hub answers exactly one question: which of these do I need? Nothing else. - Do not explain any concept the child articles explain. If you find yourself defining something, stop, and link to the article that defines it. - Group the links by what the reader is trying to do, not alphabetically and not by feature. Name each group as a goal. - Every link gets one sentence saying who it is for or when you would need it, not a description of what is in it. "If you want your boards served from your own address" is right. "Learn about domains" is wrong. Give me: 1. The hub title, written as something a customer would recognize. 2. One opening sentence saying what this area covers. 3. The groups, with their goal-shaped names. 4. Each link with its one sentence. Then tell me: is anything in this category in the wrong place, and is anything obviously missing given the goals you grouped by?
