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.
