Guidelines
Question Selection
- Focus on closed/resolved issues
- Prioritize issues labeled:
question,help,support,faq - Include frequently recurring questions
- Skip one-off bugs or feature requests
Answer Quality
- Write standalone answers (don't require reading the issue)
- Include concrete steps when applicable
- Keep answers concise but complete
- Link to docs if more detail exists elsewhere
Organization
- Group by logical categories
- Put most common questions first within each category
- Use consistent question phrasing ("How do I..." vs "Why does...")
- Deduplicate similar questions into single entry
Deduplication
When multiple issues ask the same thing:
- Combine into one FAQ entry
- Reference all related issues: "See #123, #456"
- Use the clearest answer from any of them
Maintenance Notes
- Note when FAQ was last generated
- Flag answers that may be outdated
- Suggest issues that should be added to FAQ
