Tutorial creation

Process

Identify tutorial type - platform tutorial, academy tutorial, or integration tutorial
Research - read related docs, check existing tutorials for style reference
Create front matter - title (sentence case), description (140-160 chars), sidebar_position, slug
Write 8-section structure:
1. Introduction with learning objectives
2. Prerequisites (tools, accounts, knowledge)
3. Step-by-step instructions (numbered, action verbs)
4. Code examples (complete, runnable, tested)
5. Testing and verification (expected results)
6. Troubleshooting (common issues + fixes)
7. Summary (what was learned)
8. Next steps (links to related content)
Quality check - run pnpm lint:md and vale before finishing

Each step should have a clear action verb, expected result, and verification. Code examples must be complete - no pseudocode.

For the detailed 8-section template, see .agents/skills/tutorial/references/tutorial-template.md. For edge cases and process notes, see .agents/skills/tutorial/references/process.md.
