User docs: rules for agents and contributors
Everything in this folder (except this file, CLAUDE.md and README.md) is published at
https://getartcraft.com/docs/designcraft. The file path is the URL:
troubleshooting/app-closes-at-start.md → /docs/designcraft/troubleshooting/app-closes-at-start.
Renaming a file breaks links, so add the old path to redirect_from when you rename.
Who reads this
Artists and designers using DesignCraft, Discord mods answering them, and AI assistants looking things up for either. Write for an artist, not a developer.
Page rules
- One question or problem per page. Lead with the answer or the fix in the first two lines.
- Plain words, short sentences, numbered steps for anything the reader does.
- Start the body at
##. The page title comes from frontmatter. - Link to other pages instead of repeating them. Use relative links to the
.mdfile:[Install DesignCraft](../getting-started/install.md). - No marketing copy, no "simply", no claims you have not checked in the code or a release.
- Call the product "DesignCraft", as the app, its downloads and getartcraft.com do.
- Name UI labels exactly as the app shows them, in bold.
- Document Windows 11 only. Do not name older Windows versions.
- Troubleshooting pages:
## Symptoms,## Fix,## Why this happens(optional),## Still stuck?(link the issue tracker or Discord).
Frontmatter
---
title: App closes right after it starts
description: One sentence for search results, link previews and AI summaries.
order: 10 # optional, sorts within the folder (lower first)
verified: 0.6.0 # optional, app version you last checked this page against
redirect_from: [old/path] # optional, old URLs (relative to /docs/designcraft)
---
Only key: value and key: [a, b] lines work. Quote values that start with a quote or contain #.
Set verified to the workspace version in the root Cargo.toml whenever you check a
page against the current code.
