Structure
# Project Title
Brief description (1-2 sentences)
## Overview
What problem this solves, key features
## Architecture
High-level design, data flow diagrams
## Getting Started
Prerequisites, installation, quick start
## Usage
Code examples, common patterns
## API Reference
Detailed instruction/function documentation
## Security

- Rust examples (for program interactions)
// Example: Wallet connection in Unity
public async Task<bool> ConnectWallet()
{
var wallet = await Web3.Instance.LoginPhantom();
return wallet != null;
}
// Example: Wallet connection in React Native
import { transact } from '@solana-mobile/mobile-wallet-adapter-protocol';
const connectWallet = async () => {
const authResult = await transact(async (wallet) => {
return await wallet.authorize({
cluster: 'devnet',
identity: { name: 'My Game' },
});
});
return authResult;
};
Documentation for Game Developers

PDA Documentation
## Program Derived Addresses (PDAs)
### Player Account PDA
**Seeds:** `["player", user_pubkey]`
**Bump:** Canonical bump stored in account
```csharp
var (playerPda, bump) = PublicKey.FindProgramAddress(
new[] { Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("player"), user.KeyBytes },
programId
);
const [playerPda, bump] = PublicKey.findProgramAddressSync(
[Buffer.from("player"), user.toBuffer()],
programId
);

Quality Checklist
Before publishing documentation:
- All code examples tested and working
- Both Unity and mobile examples included where relevant
- Prerequisites listed
- Installation steps verified on clean environment
- Links to external resources work
- Diagrams render correctly
- Grammar and spelling checked
- Version/date included
- Platform-specific notes added
When to Write Docs
- Before launch: README, API docs, integration guide
- During development: Architecture decisions, complex patterns
- After changes: Update affected documentation
- Post-deployment: Deployment report, program addresses
- After audit: Security findings, mitigations
Tools and Formats
Markdown
- Primary format for all docs
- Use GitHub-flavored markdown
- Include code blocks with syntax highlighting
Diagrams
- Use Mermaid for architecture diagrams
- ASCII art for simple flows
- Screenshots for UI documentation
