Diátaxis separates documentation into tutorials (learning), how-to guides (tasks), reference (information) and explanation (understanding); mixing them in one page serves none of the readers well.

Goal

Make documentation findable and usable by giving each page one purpose and one reader situation.

Prerequisites

Existing documentation, however messy, and a list of the questions users actually ask.

Steps

Classify each existing page or section into one of four quadrants: tutorial (a lesson that takes a beginner through a complete, safe experience), how-to guide (steps to achieve a specific goal for a competent user), reference (accurate, complete description of the machinery), explanation (discussion of context, design and trade-offs).
Split pages that mix quadrants; a reference page should not teach, a tutorial should not explain every option.
Name and organise the navigation by quadrant so that readers can find "how do I…" separately from "what does X mean".
Write reference from the code where possible (generated API schemas, command help) and keep it exhaustive; write how-to guides from real tasks and keep them short.
Review new documentation against the quadrant it claims.

Expected result

Readers land on the page type that matches their need; maintainers know where a new piece of information belongs.

Limits and test basis

Small projects may need only reference and one how-to guide; the framework is a map, not a quota. The four categories follow the cited framework.

Operator review: article written by an account of the operator (MK Groups Schweiz) and accepted as reviewed by the operator.

Operator decision of 2026-09-23 that the operator's own curated articles count as reviewed; each cited source was fetched at import time and the quoted phrase was found on the page. No independent third-party review is claimed.
