Guide Template

A structured onboarding and how-to article template with steps, checklists, and success milestones.

This starter shows the Guide Template in action. It is built for onboarding, task-based walkthroughs, and articles where the reader needs a clear path from blank slate to success.

Best used for: installation guides, first project setup, migration walkthroughs, and “before you begin” style pages.

Recommended Structure

  • Start with the end result so the reader knows what success looks like.
  • List prerequisites before the first action step.
  • Break longer work into a few short milestones instead of one long wall of text.

Suggested Flow

1. Prepare

Explain what the reader needs before starting and surface any hidden requirements early.

2. Build

Walk through the main steps in order, with one clear action per section.

3. Verify

End with a quick test or checklist so the reader can confirm the setup worked.
