Structure and Organization - -#### 1.1 Section Hierarchy -- **Consistent heading levels**: All parts must follow the same heading hierarchy pattern: - - Part title: `# Part N: Title` - - Major sections: `## N.N Title` - - Subsections: `### Subsection Title` - - Sub-subsections: `#### Detail Title` -- **Maximum nesting depth**: Headings should not exceed 4 levels deep (####) -- **Parallel structure**: Similar content types across parts should use the same heading levels - -#### 1.2 Section Ordering -Each part should follow this standard structure where applicable: -1. **Introduction paragraph(s)**: Brief overview of the part's topic -2. **Core concepts**: Main technical content organized by subsections -3. **Code examples**: Practical demonstrations with explanations -4. **Best practices**: Guidelines and recommendations (if applicable) -5. **Common pitfalls**: Warnings and cautions (if applicable) -6. **Cross-references**: Links to related parts or sections - -#### 1.3 How-To Guide Structure -For how-to guides and method comparison documents, verify the presence of these standard sections: - -**Opening Summary ("This guide shows you:")** -- Must appear at the top of the document after frontmatter -- 2-4 bullet points outlining what the user will learn -- Sets clear expectations about the guide's scope -- Example: - ```markdown - **This guide shows you:** - - How to translate between language variants (e.g., `en-US` to `en-GB`) - - Which method to choose: Write API, style rules, or custom instructions - - Example workflow for converting American English to British English - ``` - -**Method Sections with "When to use" Guidance** -- Each method/approach should have its own subsection -- Include a "**When to use this:**" section with clear decision-making bullets -- Focus on use cases, not just features -- Example: - ```markdown - ### 1. Method Name - - Brief description of the method. - - **When to use this:** - - Use case scenario 1 - - Use case scenario 2 - - Use case scenario 3 - ``` - -**Method Comparison Table** -- When document presents multiple approaches, include a comparison table -- Rows should be use cases, columns should be methods -- Use ✅, ❌, or ⚠️ for at-a-glance comparison -- Include practical use cases like "Short texts", "Longer texts", "Reusable rules" - -**Technical Details Section** -- Should include subsections for: - - **Cost**: Billing information for parameters - - **Limits**: Size limits, rate limits, parameter limits - - **Recommendations**: Best practices for the feature (e.g., model type recommendations) -- Place before "Next steps" section - -**Next Steps Section** -- Must be titled "Next steps" (not "Related Documentation") -- Opening sentence: "Now that you understand [topic]:" -- Use bold lead-ins for each bullet point -- Lead-ins should be action-oriented: "Try it yourself:", "Learn about:", "Explore:" -- Example: - ```markdown - ## Next steps - - Now that you understand how to translate between language variants: - - - **Try it yourself:** Review the [API reference](/link) for specifications - - **Learn about X:** Explore the [feature](/link) for advanced usage - ``` - -### 2. Document Style - -#### 2.1 Writing Voice and Tone -- **Active voice**: Prefer active voice -- **Present tense**: Use "returns" not "will return" for describing behavior -- **Second person**: Address the reader as "you" for instructions -- **Consistent terminology**: Remain consistent throughout the docs - -#### 2.2 Technical Explanations -- **Progressive disclosure**: Introduce simple concepts before complex ones -- **Concrete before abstract**: Show examples before deep technical details -- **Real-world context**: Connect technical features to practical use cases -- **Consistent metaphors**: If using analogies, ensure they're appropriate and consistent - -#### 2.3 Developer Documentation Tone (API Docs, Technical Guides) - -For developer-facing API documentation and technical guides, prioritize technical precision and conciseness: - -**Avoid Marketing Language:** -- Flag promotional language: "best-in-class", "major step forward", "significant improvements", "game-changing" -- Replace with technical descriptors: "improved algorithm", "enhanced performance", "optimized for" -- Example: - - ❌ "The new v2 represents a major step forward for customers who need best-in-class handling" - - ✅ "V2 is an improved algorithm for translating XML and HTML content" - -**Frame Version Comparisons Neutrally:** +1.

Output a report + +## Review checklist + +### 1. Audience check + +The audience is **external developers integrating the DeepL API**. Flag any content that: + +- Uses DeepL internal team names, project names, or Jira references +- Explains DeepL's internal decision-making instead of the outcome for developers +- Uses "we" to mean the DeepL team instead of "we" as instructor + learner (tutorials only) +- Assumes knowledge of DeepL internals (e.g., "the DW migration," "next-gen model," "PAPI") +- Reads like an internal engineering doc or design doc rather than customer-facing documentation +- Uses passive voice to avoid naming DeepL ("the feature was released" instead of "you can now use X") +- **Reads like sales copy instead of developer documentation.** Flag language that sells business outcomes rather than helping developers understand what they can build. Developer docs should describe what the API does and how to use it, not pitch ROI or competitive advantages. Examples: + - "Replaces multi-day agency turnaround" (sales framing) + - "no batching workarounds required" (implies competitors have this problem) + - "that's a reliability problem" (selling against LLMs) + - "consistently outperforms the competition" (marketing claim) + - "best-in-class", "major step forward", "game-changing" (promotional language) + - Reframe around what the developer does: API call patterns, integration approaches, technical capabilities. + +**Frame version comparisons neutrally:** - Focus on what the new version provides, not what the old version "lacked" or "failed at" - Be explicit but neutral about limitations: "feature X is not available in v1", "v2 uses strict parsing" - Avoid blame language: never say v1 was "bad", "broken", or "wrong" -- Example: - - ❌ "V2 fixes several v1 issues: dropped tags, duplicate tags, broken hierarchy" - - ✅ "V2 improves structural integrity through complete tag preservation and consistent placement" - -**Prefer Conciseness Over Hierarchical Structure:** -- Don't add subsections just for organization if 2-3 paragraphs or bullets suffice -- Recognize when subsections add bureaucracy without value -- Example: - - ❌ "### Translation Quality vs. Formatting [paragraph] ### Robustness [paragraph] ### Architecture [paragraph]" - - ✅ "Two concise paragraphs covering all three topics without subsections" - -**Action-Oriented Descriptions:** -- Description fields (YAML frontmatter) should tell developers what they'll learn or accomplish -- Prefer "Learn how to X" or "How to migrate from X to Y" over "Information about X" -- Example: - - ❌ `description: "Information on the improved version 2"` - - ✅ `description: "Learn about the benefits of tag handling v2 and how to migrate"` - -**Consolidate Related Examples:** -- Look for opportunities to combine related examples into tabs rather than separate sections -- Place the most common use case first (e.g., HTML before XML if HTML is more common) -- Example: - - ❌ "### XML Translation [example] ### HTML Translation [example]" - - ✅ Single tabbed interface with HTML tab first, then multiple XML tabs - -**Add Forward-Looking Context:** -- When noting limitations or incompatibilities, mention if they're temporary -- Example: "currently only compatible with X. Support for Y will be added in a future update" -- Avoid indefinite phrases like "for the time being" without specifics - -**Technical Bullets Over Explanatory Prose:** -- In migration guides and technical sections, prefer concise technical bullets -- Example: - - ❌ "Run v2 translations on representative samples of your content, especially content that has complex nested tags, inline markup, attributes, and special characters" - - ✅ "- Text with deep tag hierarchies\n- Text with inline markup, attributes, and special characters" - -#### 2.4 Cross-references and Links -- **Format**: Use relative links for internal docs: `[text](part2_live_request_queue.md#section)` -- **Link text**: Should be descriptive: "See [Part 4: Response Modalities](part4_run_config.md#response-modalities)" not "See [here](part4_run_config.md#response-modalities)" -- **Source references**: Use consistent format: `> 📖 **Source Reference**: [`filename`](github-url)` -- **Demo references**: Use consistent format: `> 📖 **Demo Implementation**: Description at [`path`](../src/demo/path)` -- **Learn more**: Use consistent format: `> 💡 **Learn More**: [Description of related content]` for directing readers to other sections or parts - -#### 2.5 Lists and Bullets -- **Sentence fragments**: Bullet points should start with capital letters and end without periods (unless multi-sentence) -- **Bold before colons**: Avoid the pattern of bolded words before a colon -- **Parallel construction**: All items in a list should follow the same grammatical structure -- **Consistent markers**: Use `-` for unordered lists, numbers for sequential steps - -### 3. Sample Code Style - -#### 3.1 Code Block Formatting -- **Language tags**: All code blocks must specify language: ```python, ```bash, ```json -- **Indentation**: Use 4 spaces for Python (not tabs) -- **Line length**: Prefer breaking lines at 80-88 characters for readability -- **Comments**: - - Use `#` for inline comments in Python - - Comments should explain "why" not "what" (code should be self-documenting) - - Avoid redundant comments like `# Send content` when code is `send_content()` - -#### 3.2 Code Example Structure -Each code example should include: -1. **Brief introduction**: One sentence explaining what the example demonstrates -2. **Complete code block**: Runnable code (or clearly marked pseudo-code) -3. **Explanation**: Key points explained after the code -4. **Variations** (if applicable): Alternative approaches with pros/cons - -#### 3.3 Inline Method Examples -For how-to guides that present multiple methods/approaches, each method section should include a short, focused code example: - -**Requirements:** -- **Placement**: Code example should appear immediately after the "When to use this:" bullets -- **Labels**: Use proper labels like "Example cURL request" or "Example request" -- **Request AND Response**: Always show both the request and the response -- **Brevity**: Keep examples short and focused on the key differentiator of the method -- **Consistency**: Use the same example text/scenario across all methods for easy comparison - -**Example structure:** -```markdown -### 1. Method Name - -Brief description of the method. - -**When to use this:** -- Use case 1 -- Use case 2 - -```bash Example cURL request -curl -X POST 'https://api.example.com/endpoint' \ ---header 'Authorization: API-Key [yourKey]' \ ---data '{ - "parameter": "value" -}' -``` - -```json Example response -{ - "result": "output" -} -``` - - -Any warnings or caveats specific to this method. - -``` - -**When NOT to include inline examples:** -- If the guide has a comprehensive example section later (but this should be rare) -- If the method requires setup steps that can't be shown inline -- In these cases, add a note directing users to the detailed example section - -#### 3.4 Code Consistency -- **Import statements**: Show imports when first introducing a concept -- **Variable naming**: - - Use descriptive names: `live_request_queue` not `lrq` - - Follow Python conventions: `snake_case` for variables/functions, `PascalCase` for classes -- **Type hints**: Include type hints in function signatures when helpful for understanding -- **Error handling**: Show error handling in production-like examples, omit in minimal examples - -#### 3.5 Code Example Types -Distinguish between: -- **Minimal examples**: Simplest possible demonstration of a concept -- **Production-like examples**: Include error handling, logging, edge cases -- **Anti-patterns**: Clearly marked with explanation of what NOT to do - -Example format for anti-patterns: -```python -# ❌ INCORRECT: Don't do this -bad_example() - -# ✅ CORRECT: Do this instead -good_example() -``` - -#### 3.6 Code Comments and Documentation - -**Commenting Philosophy:** - -The documentation uses code comments strategically based on the example's purpose. Follow this consistent standard across all parts: - -**1. Teaching Examples (Introductory/Concept-focused)** - -Use detailed explanatory comments to teach concepts. These examples prioritize education over brevity: - -```python -# Phase 1: Application initialization (once at startup) -agent = Agent( - model="gemini-2.0-flash-live-001", - tools=[google_search], # Tools the agent can use - instruction="You are a helpful assistant." -) - -# Phase 2: Session initialization (once per streaming session) -run_config = RunConfig( - streaming_mode=StreamingMode.BIDI, # Bidirectional streaming - response_modalities=["TEXT"] # Text-only responses -) -``` - -**When to use:** -- First introduction of a concept in a part -- Complex multi-step processes (like the FastAPI example in Part 1) -- Examples showing complete workflows -- When explaining architectural patterns - -**Characteristics:** -- Comments explain "why" and provide context -- Phase labels organize multi-step processes -- Inline comments clarify non-obvious parameters -- Section headers demarcate major steps - -**2. Production-like Examples (Minimal Comments)** - -Use minimal or no comments when the code is self-documenting. These examples show production patterns: - -```python -session = await session_service.get_session( - app_name="my-streaming-app", - user_id="user123", - session_id="session456" -) -if not session: - await session_service.create_session( - app_name="my-streaming-app", - user_id="user123", - session_id="session456" - ) -``` - -**When to use:** -- Straightforward API usage examples -- Code demonstrating patterns already explained in text -- After a concept has been introduced with detailed comments -- Simple configuration examples - -**Characteristics:** -- Let descriptive variable/function names speak for themselves -- No redundant comments (avoid `# Send content` when code says `send_content()`) -- Code structure provides clarity - -**3. Complex Logic (Always Comment)** - -Always add comments for non-obvious logic, especially async patterns and edge cases: - -```python -async def upstream_task(): - """Receive messages from client and forward to model.""" - try: - async for message in websocket.iter_text(): - data = json.loads(message) - - # Convert WebSocket message to LiveRequest format - content = types.Content(parts=[types.Part(text=data["text"])]) - live_request_queue.send_content(content) - except asyncio.CancelledError: - # Graceful shutdown on cancellation - pass -``` - -**When to use:** -- Async/await patterns that aren't obvious -- Error handling with specific recovery strategies -- Edge cases or gotchas -- Performance-critical sections - -**Characteristics:** -- Explains the "why" behind non-obvious decisions -- Clarifies timing or ordering requirements -- Documents error handling rationale - -**4. Anti-pattern Examples** - -Clearly mark incorrect vs correct approaches: - -```python -# ❌ INCORRECT: Don't reuse LiveRequestQueue across sessions -queue = LiveRequestQueue() -await runner.run_live(..., live_request_queue=queue) -await runner.run_live(..., live_request_queue=queue) # BUG! - -# ✅ CORRECT: Create fresh queue for each session -queue1 = LiveRequestQueue() -await runner.run_live(..., live_request_queue=queue1) - -queue2 = LiveRequestQueue() # New queue for new session -await runner.run_live(..., live_request_queue=queue2) -``` - -**When to use:** -- Demonstrating common mistakes -- Showing what NOT to do alongside correct approach -- Security or safety considerations - -**Characteristics:** -- Use ❌ and ✅ markers consistently -- Include brief explanation of why it's wrong -- Always show correct alternative - -**General Guidelines:** - -- **Avoid redundant comments**: Don't comment obvious code - ```python - # ❌ BAD: Redundant - live_request_queue.send_content(content) # Send content - - # ✅ GOOD: No comment needed (self-documenting) - live_request_queue.send_content(content) - ``` - -- **Comment "why" not "what"**: The code shows what; comments explain why - ```python - # ❌ BAD: States the obvious - queue.close() # Close the queue - - # ✅ GOOD: Explains the reason - queue.close() # Ensure graceful termination before cleanup - ``` - -- **Use inline comments sparingly**: Prefer explanatory text before/after code blocks - ```markdown - # ✅ GOOD: Explanation in prose - - The get-or-create pattern safely handles both new sessions and resumption: - - ```python - session = await session_service.get_session(...) - if not session: - await session_service.create_session(...) - ``` - - This approach is idempotent and works correctly for reconnections. - ``` - -- **Consistency within examples**: All examples in the same section should use similar commenting density -- **Progressive detail reduction**: Use detailed comments in Part 1, lighter comments in later parts as readers gain familiarity - -**Checklist for Code Comments:** - -- [ ] Teaching examples have explanatory comments for all non-obvious steps -- [ ] Production examples avoid redundant comments -- [ ] Complex async/await patterns are explained -- [ ] Anti-patterns are clearly marked with ❌/✅ -- [ ] Comments explain "why" not "what" -- [ ] Comment density is consistent within each part -- [ ] No TODO, FIXME, or placeholder comments in documentation - -### 4. Table Formatting - -#### 4.1 Column Alignment -Consistent table formatting improves readability. Follow these alignment rules: - -- **Text columns**: Left-align (use `---` or `|---|`) - - Model names, descriptions, notes, explanations - - Any column containing paragraphs or sentences - -- **Status/Symbol columns**: Center-align (use `:---:` or `|:---:|`) - - Columns containing only checkmarks (✅/❌) - - Single-character or symbol-only columns - - Boolean indicators - -- **Numeric columns**: Right-align (use `---:` or `|---:|`) - - Numbers, percentages, counts - - Measurements and statistics -**Example of correct alignment:** - -```markdown -| Feature | Status | Count | Description | -|---------|:---:|---:|-------------| -| Audio | ✅ | 100 | All text here is left-aligned | -| Video | ❌ | 50 | Status centered, count right-aligned | -``` - -#### 4.2 Header Formatting -- All table headers should use **bold** text: `| **Feature** | **Status** |` -- Headers should be concise and descriptive -- Use title case for headers - -#### 4.3 Cell Content -- Use code formatting for code terms: `` `response_modalities` `` -- Use line breaks (`
`) sparingly, only when necessary for readability -- Keep cell content concise - tables should be scannable +### 2.

The base language subtag is always present." +Good: "Language codes follow BCP 47. Do not hardcode assumptions about code format (e.g., always two letters, or always xx-YY).

DeepL returns identical output for identical input" +Good: "DeepL returns identical output for identical input when using the same model version." + +## Diataxis awareness + +When writing, ask: what type of page is this? Accept the type as input if provided, or classify it yourself. + +- **Tutorial**: Learning-oriented. Walk the reader through steps to complete a project. Use "we" (instructor + learner). Include prerequisites, concrete steps, expected output at each step. +- **How-to guide**: Task-oriented. Solve a specific problem. Assume the reader knows the basics. Use "you." Include "When to use this" guidance. +- **Reference**: Information-oriented. Describe the API accurately and completely. No opinions, no guidance. Just facts, parameters, types, examples. +- **Explanation**: Understanding-oriented. Explain why things work the way they do. Connect concepts. Good for architecture decisions, tradeoffs, background. + +Do not mix quadrants. If you find yourself adding "when to use this" guidance to a reference page, that content belongs in a how-to guide. If you're adding parameter tables to a tutorial, link to the reference page instead.
