Claude for Developers

Technical Docs That Sound Like Your Senior Engineers Wrote Them

Claude's coding abilities are strong, but its documentation voice is generic. A Writing Profile teaches Claude your team's conventions, depth assumptions, and writing style.

Claude Writes Good Code, Generic Docs

Claude is excellent at understanding code, but its documentation output reads like a tutorial for beginners.

Generated docs explain obvious things and skip the non-obvious things developers actually need

Claude's documentation tone doesn't match your codebase's existing voice and conventions

API references are either too verbose or miss critical edge cases and error scenarios

Architecture decision records come out sounding like Wikipedia, not engineering notes

Documentation That Matches Your Engineering Culture

Calibrated Depth

Your profile tells Claude who your readers are — junior devs onboarding, senior engineers referencing, or external API consumers — and adjusts complexity accordingly.

Convention Enforcement

Heading hierarchy, code example style, admonition usage, linking conventions — your profile encodes the standards your team follows.

Claude Projects Integration

Add your Writing Profile to a Claude Project alongside your codebase. Claude generates docs that are both technically accurate and stylistically consistent.

ADR and RFC Quality

Architecture Decision Records and RFCs require a specific argumentative structure. Your profile captures how your team frames trade-offs and justifies decisions.

How It Works

Provide Documentation Examples

Share 3-5 examples of documentation your team considers high-quality — READMEs, API references, ADRs, runbooks, or inline documentation.

Set Technical Writing Parameters

The questionnaire captures your audience assumptions, preferred tools (Markdown, Docusaurus, etc.), and stylistic choices like active vs. passive voice.

Pattern Analysis

AI identifies your information architecture patterns, code-to-prose ratios, technical vocabulary preferences, and how you structure explanations.

Integrate with Claude

Add your profile to Claude Projects or paste at conversation start. Use with Claude Code, Claude.ai, or the API for documentation generation.

## Error Handling When using the API, various errors may occur. It is important to handle these errors gracefully in your application. The API returns standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of a request. You should check the status code of each response and handle errors accordingly. Error responses include a JSON body with an error message and code.

With Writing Profile

## Error Handling All errors return a consistent JSON envelope: ```json { "error": { "code": "rate_limit_exceeded", "message": "Too many requests. Retry after 30s.", "retry_after": 30 } } ``` | Status | Code | Action | |--------|------|--------| | 400 | `invalid_request` | Check request body against schema | | 401 | `unauthorized` | Refresh your API key | | 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Back off using `retry_after` value | | 500 | `internal_error` | Retry with exponential backoff | All 5xx errors are safe to retry. For 4xx errors, fix the request before retrying.
