## When to Use This Skill

Copy-paste-working references with tested examples and honest errors sections.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Journey Steps

1. Step 1 — Document endpoints developers can copy-paste: start with "Lead with minimal working request using realistic sandbox data"
2. Step 2 — Write tutorials people actually finish: start with "Promise specific outcome in title; deliver it under 15 minutes"
3. How it fits together: CI-tested examples separate good API docs from decorative ones.
