Miranda Limonczenko c1d010a699 feat(docs) Add a SKILL to write stronger documentation and apply it to guides/api/securing-your-api (#48018)
Closes DOCS-1176

## Summary

This PR adds documentation-writing guidance for humans and agents, then
applies it to the “Securing your API” guide.

## Changes

- Add a documentation word list based on Google’s style guide and
existing MDX lint rules.
- Add a shared `docs-guides` Agent Skill with Cursor and Claude
integration.
- Expand contributing guidance for information types, procedures,
chunking, links, admonitions, grammar, and terminology.
- Restructure “Securing your API” into contextual and procedural
sections.
- Add section navigation, cross-references, transitions, and procedural
outcomes.
- Reduce repeated admonitions and improve scannability.

## Manual testing

1. Open `/docs/guides/api/securing-your-api` in Preview and compare to
Live.
https://docs-git-docs-restructure-api-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/api/securing-your-api
2. See that the content is improved and clear with no important context
removed.
3. See the Admonitions that are no longer marked as admonitions. See the
content still makes sense.
4. Review the diff of `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `WORD_LIST.md`.
5. See that you agree with the new rules and that they are clear.

Maintainers

If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.

DocSpec

We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.

  • OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
  • SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
  • ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
  • CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.

The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
