Prerequisite for [DOCS-1289](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/DOCS-1289/get-the-linter-to-fix-what-it-flags-or-retirereplace-the-linter). ## Problem The `write-the-docs` and `edit-the-docs` skills carry the docs style guide, so a contributor who uses them writes to the guide without having read it. Right now nothing points a contributor at them. `apps/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` describes the skills as an option for agent users, halfway down a 559-line page, and no other contributor-facing file mentions them at all. ## Solution - **CodeRabbit reminder.** One path instruction for `apps/docs/content/**/*.mdx`. When a page collects two or more style, terminology, or structure issues, CodeRabbit adds a single comment pointing the author at `/write-the-docs` or `/edit-the-docs`. A single nit gets no pointer, so the comment reads as a signal rather than boilerplate. - **Docs CONTRIBUTING.** The intro lists the skills by task, draft through self-review, before the style rules, and links the existing skills section for framing and architecture. The section opener now reads as an expectation rather than a conditional, with the agent mechanics moved to a second paragraph. - **Root CONTRIBUTING.** A pre-flight check under Pull Requests, with the same task list nested under it. Matches the docs checklist item in #50591. - **Word list.** Names the skills that apply the list. - **Docs README and DEVELOPERS.** One sentence in each Contributing section. **Not in this PR:** CodeRabbit reminds, it doesn't enforce. Feeding the two `SKILL.md` files to `knowledge_base.code_guidelines` would make it review docs content against the style guide. That's a decision for DOCS-1289 itself. **Verification caveat:** this PR changes no MDX under `apps/docs/content/`, so the new path instruction doesn't fire on its own review. ## Manual testing 1. See all new content references in the diff. 2. Review for clarity and value. 3. Consider suggesting other ways to promote the usage of this skill to all docs contributors.

Maintainers
If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.
DocSpec
We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.
- OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
- SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
- ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
- CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.
The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
Contributing
To contribute to docs, see the developers' guide and contributing guide. If you write with an AI coding agent, use the /write-the-docs skill to draft and /edit-the-docs to revise an existing page.
