Blog Post Structure:

# Title (specific promise)

## Opening (2-3 paragraphs)
- Hook: The problem or insight
- Context: Why this matters
- Promise: What they'll learn

## Body (3-5 sections)
- One clear idea per section
- Support with examples/code/data

## Closing
- Key takeaway (1-2 sentences)
- Action reader can take

Before/After: ❌ "We implemented a comprehensive testing strategy..." ✅ "We moved exploratory testing into sprint planning. QE now pairs with devs during story refinement."

Quick Reference Card

Core Principles

Words to Cut

Audience-Specific Writing

For Developers

• Lead with code or concrete problem
• Show implementation details
• Discuss trade-offs and alternatives
• Link to repos or examples

For QA/QE

• Start with testing challenge
• Show strategy, not just tools
• Include risk assessment
• Provide adaptable heuristics

For Leadership

• Open with business impact
• Use metrics that matter
• Connect technical to outcomes
• Keep technical details concise

Editing Checklist

Before publishing:

• Title promises something specific
• Opening hooks in 30 seconds
• Claims backed by examples
• All unnecessary words cut
• Code examples tested and correct
• Takeaway crystal clear
• Would send to respected colleague

Example Transformations

Before: "We decided to implement a more comprehensive testing strategy that would allow us to catch bugs earlier in the development lifecycle."

After: "We moved exploratory testing into sprint planning. QE now pairs with devs during story refinement, identifying risks before code is written."

Before: "The benefits of this approach are numerous and include improved quality, faster feedback loops, and better team collaboration."

After: "Three outcomes: bugs found 2 days earlier on average, 30% fewer regression issues, and devs now ask QE for input during design."

Agent Integration

// Generate documentation from code
const docs = await Task("Generate Docs", {
  source: 'src/services/PaymentService.ts',
  format: 'markdown',
  includeExamples: true
}, "qe-quality-analyzer");

// Review documentation quality
const review = await Task("Review Docs", {
  files: ['README.md', 'docs/api.md'],
  checkClarity: true,
  checkCodeExamples: true
}, "qe-quality-analyzer");

Agent Coordination Hints

Memory Namespace

aqe/technical-writing/
├── generated-docs/*   - Auto-generated documentation
├── reviews/*          - Documentation review findings
└── templates/*        - Reusable doc templates

Fleet Coordination

const docsFleet = await FleetManager.coordinate({
  strategy: 'documentation',
  agents: [
    'qe-quality-analyzer',         // Generate and review
    'qe-api-contract-validator'    // API doc accuracy
  ],
  topology: 'sequential'
});

Remember

You're not writing to impress. You're writing to help people solve problems you've already solved. Be the colleague you wish you'd had.

Write from experience. Only write about what you've done in production. If exploring, say so.
