Contribute Docs Or Examples

Use this skill when authoring docs-only or example-heavy changes.

Rules

• Prefer the documented public API, not internal shortcuts
• Keep package names, repo references, and build commands current
• When documenting contribution workflow, require an issue before external contribution PRs and note that NVIDIA contributors may use a GitHub or Linear issue.
• Update entry-point docs when examples or reading paths change
• Keep release-process and release-notes guidance in repo-maintainer docs such as RELEASING.md, not as user-facing docs pages or CHANGELOG.md
• Keep stable user-facing wrappers at scripts/ root in docs and examples; only point at namespaced helper paths when documenting internal maintenance work
• When detailed dynamic plugin guides exist, keep Rust native plugin examples, Python worker plugin examples, and grpc-v1 protocol details on separate pages.
• Dynamic plugin manifests must exclude Relay versions before 0.8. Recommend compat.relay = ">=0.8.0,<1.0"; open-ended or narrower 0.8-or-newer ranges are valid when intentional.
• In MDX files, top-of-file comments must use JSX comment delimiters: {/* to open and */} to close. Do not use HTML comments for MDX SPDX headers.
• Render images, diagrams, tables, and other visual content at representative page widths. Size visual content for legibility and complete access without clipping. Choose responsive scaling, reflow, or overflow based on the content, and scope visual-specific styling as narrowly as practical.

Checklist

• README.md or docs/index.yml updated when entry points changed
• Relevant getting-started or reference docs updated
• Example commands still match current package names and paths
• Relevant package or crate README.md files updated when examples or binding guidance changed
• Dynamic plugin entry pages link to native, worker, Rust example, Python example, and protocol pages when those pages exist
• New or regenerated MDX files use {/* ... */} for top-of-file SPDX comments
• Images, diagrams, tables, and custom visual content remain legible and fully accessible at representative desktop and narrow page widths
• Release-policy docs still point to GitHub Releases as the only release-history source of truth
• Run just docs when the docs site changed; ./scripts/build-docs.sh html remains the compatibility wrapper
