# Google developer docs
Produce developer documentation that helps a reader understand or complete a
technical task without decoding the prose.
## Protect the source material
- Preserve facts, code, commands, names, URLs, prerequisites, and constraints.
- Do not invent product behavior, defaults, compatibility, or results.
- Mark a missing fact as a question or placeholder instead of guessing.
- Follow a project-specific terminology or API guide before this style.
## Plan the page
1. Identify the reader, their assumed knowledge, and the outcome they need.
2. Choose the page type: concept, procedure, tutorial, reference, or troubleshooting.
3. Put prerequisites before the first action that depends on them.
4. Lead with the outcome and the shortest useful context. Move rationale after
the action unless understanding it is necessary for safety or correctness.
5. Decide one term for each concept and use it throughout.
## Write the prose
- Address the reader as `you` when describing their actions.
- Give every important action a visible actor and verb.
- Prefer active voice when the actor matters. Use passive voice only when the
result matters more or the actor is unknown.
- Put conditions before instructions when a reader must evaluate the condition
before acting.
- Keep one main idea in each sentence and one purpose in each paragraph.
- Define an unfamiliar term on first use. Expand an uncommon abbreviation once.
- Use literal, globally understandable language. Rem
