## Review Criteria

### 1. Structure and Organization

**Required sections for guides**:
- **Title** (clear H1)
- **Overview/Introduction** (what is this about?)
- **Prerequisites** (what's needed?)
- **Main content** (well-organized with H2/H3)
- **Troubleshooting** (common issues)
- **Related documentation** (links to other docs)

**Example good structure**:
```markdown
# Feature Name Guide

## Overview
Brief description of what this guide covers.

## Prerequisites
- Required knowledge
- Required packages
- Related features

## Setup
Step-by-step instructions.

## Configuration
Available options and examples.

## Usage
How to use the feature.

## Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions.

## Related Documentation
- [Link to related guide](path/to/guide.md)
```

### 2. Writing Style Standards

**From `docs/DX_GUIDE.md`**:

- **Be concise**: Get to the point quickly
- **Be clear**: Avoid jargon or explain it
- **Be specific**: Include exact commands, file paths, line numbers
- **Be accurate**: Test examples before documenting
- **Be consistent**: Follow existing patterns

**Voice**:
- Use second person ("you") for guides
- Use active voice: "Run the command" not "The command is run"
- Use present tense: "This enables" not "This will enable"

**Code blocks**:
```markdown
# ✅ GOOD - Specify language, include comments
\`\`\`nix
# Enable gaming features
features.gaming.enable = true;
\`\`\`

# ❌ BAD - No language, no context
\`\`\`
enable = true;
\`\`\`
```

### 3. Code Examples

**Requirements**:
- Must be syntactically correct
- Must be tested (or clearly marked as pseudo-code)
- Must include comments explaining what's happening
- Must follow project coding conventions

**Good example**:
```markdown
### Enabling PipeWire

Add to your host configuration (`hosts/<hostname>/default.nix`):

\`\`\`nix
{
  # Enable PipeWire audio server
  features.audio.pipewire = {
    enable = true;
    lowLatency = true;  # For pro audio work
    jackSupport = true; # JACK compatibility
  };
}
\`\`\`

This configures PipeWire with low-latency settings suitable for audio production.
```

**Bad example**:
```markdown
Enable it in config:
\`\`\`
enable pipewire
\`\`\`
```

### 4. Links and Cross-References

**Internal links** (to other docs):
```markdown
✅ GOOD - Relative path from doc root
See [Architecture Guide](reference/architecture.md) for details.

❌ BAD - Absolute path
See [Architecture](/home/user/nix/docs/reference/architecture.md)

❌ BAD - Broken link
See [Architecture](arch.md)
```

**External links**:
```markdown
✅ GOOD - Include link and context
See the [NixOS Manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/) for more information about system configuration.

❌ BAD - Just raw URL
https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/
```

### 5. Commands and Paths

**Always include**:
- Working directory context
- Full command with all flags
- Expected output (if relevant)
- What the command does

**Good example**:
```markdown
### Building the configuration

From the repository root, run:

\`\`\`bash
nix flake check
\`\`\`

This validates the flake syntax and checks all outputs.

Expected output:
\`\`\`
checking flake...
✅ All checks passed
\`\`\`
```

**File paths**:
```markdown
✅ GOOD - Relative to repo root
Edit `modules/nixos/features/gaming.nix`

✅ GOOD - With placeholder
Edit `hosts/<hostname>/default.nix`

❌ BAD - Absolute path
Edit `/home/user/nix/modules/nixos/features/gaming.nix`
```

### 6. Tables and Lists

**Use tables for**:
- Comparisons
- Option references
- Feature matrices

**Example**:
```markdown
| Feature | NixOS | nix-darwin | Description |
|---------|-------|------------|-------------|
| Gaming  | ✅    | ❌         | Steam, Lutris, game configs |
| Audio   | ✅    | ✅         | PipeWire/CoreAudio setup |
```

**Use lists for**:
- Steps in a process
- Requirements
- Options

**Example**:
```markdown
Prerequisites:
- Nix with flakes enabled
- Git installed
- Sudo access (for NixOS)
```

### 7. Warnings and Notes

**Use admonitions for important information**:

```markdown
**CRITICAL**: Never run `sudo nixos-rebuild switch` without testing first.

**Note**: This feature requires NixOS 23.11 or newer.

**Warning**: Enabling this will restart the audio server.

**Tip**: Use `nix flake check` to validate before building.
```

## Common Issues to Detect

### Issue #1: Outdated Examples

```markdown
# ❌ OUTDATED - Using deprecated syntax
home.packages = with pkgs; [ git ];

# ✅ CURRENT - Following current conventions
home.packages = [ pkgs.git ];
```

### Issue #2: Missing Context

```markdown
# ❌ BAD - No context
Run the command.

# ✅ GOOD - Full context
From the repository root, run this command to update all flake inputs:
\`\`\`bash
nix flake update
\`\`\`
```

### Issue #3: Broken Links

```markdown
# ❌ BROKEN
See [Guide](old-guide.md)

# ✅ FIXED
See [DX Guide](DX_GUIDE.md)
```

### Issue #4: Missing Language in Code Blocks

```markdown
# ❌ BAD
\`\`\`
features.gaming.enable = true;
\`\`\`

# ✅ GOOD
\`\`\`nix
features.gaming.enable = true;
\`\`\`
```

### Issue #5: Inconsistent Formatting

```markdown
# ❌ INCONSISTENT
- item one
* item two
- item three

# ✅ CONSISTENT
- Item one
- Item two
- Item three
```

## Your Review Process

### 1. Structural Review
- Check document has required sections
- Verify logical flow and organization
- Ensure headings are properly hierarchical (H1 → H2 → H3)

### 2. Content Review
- Verify technical accuracy
- Check code examples are correct
- Test commands if possible
- Ensure examples follow conventions

### 3. Style Review
- Check writing style matches DX_GUIDE.md
- Verify consistent voice and tense
- Check for clarity and conciseness

### 4. Link Review
- Test all internal links
- Verify external links work
- Check cross-references are accurate

### 5. Formatting Review
- Verify code blocks have language tags
- Check tables are properly formatted
- Ensure lists are consistent

### 6. Generate Report

**Format**:
```
Documentation Review: docs/NEW_FEATURE_GUIDE.md

✅ Structure: Well-organized with all required sections
✅ Writing Style: Clear and concise
❌ Code Examples: Line 45 uses deprecated 'with pkgs;' syntax
⚠️  Links: Line 78 link to architecture.md should be reference/architecture.md
❌ Formatting: Line 92 code block missing language tag

Recommendations:
1. Update code example on line 45 to use explicit pkgs.package
2. Fix link path on line 78
3. Add 'nix' language tag to code block on line 92
4. Consider adding troubleshooting section
5. Add cross-reference to related FEATURES.md

Overall: 7/10 - Good content, needs formatting fixes
```
