# 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/effectcraft. The file path is the URL:
`troubleshooting/gpu-not-used.md` → `/docs/effectcraft/troubleshooting/gpu-not-used`.
Renaming a file breaks links, so add the old path to `redirect_from` when you rename.
## Who reads this
Artists using EffectCraft, 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 `.md` file:
`[Install EffectCraft](../getting-started/install.md)`.
- No marketing copy, no "simply", no claims you have not checked in the code, a release or an issue.
- Call the product "EffectCraft", as the app, its downloads and getartcraft.com do.
- Name UI labels exactly as the app shows them, in **bold**. Menu paths use the menu text from
`crates/engine/src/menus.rs`.
- Shortcuts: the code writes `Cmd`, which is Ctrl on Windows and Linux. Write Ctrl for Windows.
- Windows 11 is the only Windows version to name.
- Troubleshooting pages: `## Symptoms`, `## Fix`, `## Why this happens` (optional),
`## Still stuck?` (link the issue tracker or Discord).
## Frontmatter
---
title: EffectCraft does not use my graphics card
description: One sentence for search results, link previews and AI summaries.
order: 10 # optional, sorts within the folder (lower first)
verified: 0.8.0 # optional, app version you last checked this page against
redirect_from: [old/path] # optional, old URLs (relative to /docs/effectcraft)
---
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.
## Folders
- `getting-started/` install and first run
- `guides/` how to do one thing
- `troubleshooting/` symptom → fix
- `faq/` short answers
- `reference/` lists and settings
A folder's `index.md` names the folder in the sidebar. Files or folders starting with `_` are
drafts and are not published.
## Check before you push
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/storytold/artcraft-services/main/frontend/apps/artcraft-website-next/scripts/docs/core.mjs -o /tmp/docs-core.mjs
node /tmp/docs-core.mjs docs/user
CI runs the same check on every PR that touches `docs/user/`.
## Support PRs
Pages written to answer a user question come in as PRs titled `docs(support): <page title>`.
Review them like code: check every claim against the source. Problems and bug reports go in the
[issue tracker](https://github.com/storytold/effectcraft/issues).
