Note:

1. This template provides recommended guidance for writing the operation guide document framework.

2. All italic text represents writing guidance and should be removed from the final document.

【Overall Writing Requirements】

1. Identify the target audience: Clearly identify the intended audience: developers/product managers/architects.

2. Confirm content to include: Introduce what the feature/module is (What), what it can do (Why), and how to operate it (How).

3. Adopt the user’s perspective: From a developer’s viewpoint, provide the content that developers care about and need to use.

4. Task-oriented writing: Focus on the tasks developers need to complete, providing practical guidance.

5. Do not be constrained: Use this template as a reference; adjust flexibly based on actual needs.

Overview

Required.

Clearly define the basic information such as what and why to help developers establish an initial understanding of the feature/module.

【Developer Focus】

What is this feature/module (definition – what)? What problem does it solve or what value does it bring (customer value – why)?

【Writing Tips】

Use scenario-based writing, employing the SCQA approach as follows:

  • S: Situation – Introduce a scenario or fact that is familiar to everyone.
  • C: Complication – The actual situation often conflicts with our requirements.
  • Q: Question – How?
  • A: Answer – Our solution is ...

【Writing Requirements】

  • Use only necessary terms, acronyms, or proprietary names, and provide explanations (linking to a glossary is also acceptable).

Usage Limitations

Optional.

【Developer Focus】

Are there any limitations when using this feature/module?

【Writing Tips】

  • Describe limitations that may affect development. For example:
    • Functional Limitations
      • Unsupported usage scenarios.
      • Specification limits.

【Writing Example】

  • This feature is supported from version XXX and above.

  • Each object must not exceed 100 KB.

Environment Preparation

Optional.

Clearly state the development environment requirements (e.g., hardware requirements, software requirements, operating system requirements, etc.).

Operation Process

【Writing Tips】

Optional.

  • What steps must developers follow to use this feature/module (How)?

  • Follow a layered structure: Scenario (task scenario) → Task logic (operation flow) → Operation steps (step by step).

  • If there are many operation steps, provide a flowchart.

Operation Steps

【Writing Requirements】

Required.

  • Each step should clearly specify the executor (who), the purpose (why), the operation (what/how), and the context (when/where). Use imperative sentences to describe the steps.

  • Ensure any sample code is executable.

  • After completion, provide guidance on how to confirm successful execution.

  • Mask sensitive information such as phone numbers, ID numbers, or account names (e.g., 186********) and use private IP addresses or generic domain names (e.g., xx.xx.xx.xx, www.example.com); do not use real IP addresses or domain names.

FAQs
