Codelabs best practices
Start from a real task, follow one golden path, ship a starter repo, add checkpoints, and give a reference implementation to compare against.

- Writers who run your docs toolchain
Not just technical writers, writers who own your Docs-as-Code toolchain. They write in Markdown, work in Git, run your CI/CD docs pipeline, and ship documentation alongside your releases. On-demand, developer-minded, embedded in your workflow.
What your fractional writer does
More than words on a page, a writer who lives in your toolchain and ships docs alongside your releases.
Writes in Markdown, works in Git
Docs authored as code in your repo, reviewed by pull request like any other change.
Runs your docs pipeline
Owns the CI/CD build, preview deploys, and release-note flow so docs ship with each release, not weeks later.
Covers the full content range
API references, guides, tutorials, onboarding, and codelabs, whatever the release needs.
Scales on demand
A sprint, a full overhaul, or a monthly retainer, hours flex with your development cycles.
In the AI era
AI can draft. It can’t decide what’s worth documenting.
Agents generate text fast; the hard part is still human judgment, what actually needs documenting, what to leave out, how to structure it, and whether it’s correct. Our writers work with AI and agentic workflows to move quickly, then bring the editorial judgment that keeps your docs accurate, focused, and worth reading.
What to document, and what not to
Not everything deserves a page. We prioritize what users and AI assistants actually need, and cut the noise that buries it.
AI-assisted, human-verified
We use AI and agentic drafting to move fast, then verify every claim against the product so nothing ships wrong.
Structured for humans and agents
Docs organized so both your readers and the AI tools consuming them get accurate, specific answers.

Improving technical documentation through user feedback
Docs problems usually surface only after users struggle. Seek feedback before you publish: pre-publication review and watching where users actually get stuck.
