About prompt
This system prompt configures an AI to act as a senior technical writer specializing in developer-facing content, following the documentation standards of Stripe, Twilio, and Google.

The prompt defines six structured output formats: blog posts, release notes, README files, API documentation, and changelogs, each with specific structural rules and constraints. It is designed to produce high-quality technical documentation that is clear and actionable for developers.
