Part 1 of 3. Stack: #50742 → #50744 → #50743. ## Problem We have several problems: - Style guidance lives in lots of places and need consolidation - Our CONTRIBUTING guide has turned into one massive style document that needs to be broken up ## Solution Add `apps/docs/style-guide/` as plain markdown. | File | Covers | | --- | --- | | `README.md` | What the guide covers, who it's for, how to contribute, and the references it defers to | | `WORD_LIST.md` | Terminology, spelling, capitalization, and the `agent` / `LLM` / `AI` distinction. Moved from `apps/docs/` with history intact | | `01-voice-and-tone.md` | Audience, brevity, sentence construction | | `02-elements.md` | Which component renders each piece, and linking conventions | | `03-page-structure.md` | Document types, information types, grouping, chunking, timeless documentation | ### New content This guide is mostly rearrangement and glue, but it includes some new content: - Links and cross-reference formatting - WORD_LIST entries for LLM and AI agent - Timeless documentation guidance - Accessibility guidance - Sharper guidance on brevity and chunking ## Manual testing 1. Open `apps/docs/style-guide/` on this branch and confirm `README.md` renders below the file list. 2. Follow every link in `README.md` and read the document through. 3. You can test by locally pointing an agent at the style-guide and seeing that it makes great choices when revising a document. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Added a documentation style guide covering voice and tone, page structure, and guidance for writing procedures, code, tables, diagrams, media, and links. * Added a word list with preferred spelling, capitalization, and usage, including guidance on inclusive and concise language. * Added recommendations for reviewing documentation drafts and runnable examples. * Replaced the existing word list page’s content with a link to its new location in the style guide. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: Nik Richers <nik@validmind.ai>

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.
Contributing
To contribute to docs, see the developers' guide and contributing guide. If you write with an AI coding agent, use the /write-the-docs skill to draft and /edit-the-docs to revise an existing page.
