Summary

Enhanced the Diátaxis explanation template to include investigation methodology and research transparency, based on the successful pattern developed with some of my current work.

Changes

Template Improvements

  • Investigation sections: Added "How was this investigated?" prompts for each question
  • Research methodology: Prompts for search terms, tools used, file paths examined
  • Evidence documentation: Structured bullet points for key findings and sources
  • Testing examples: Dedicated section for practical, testable code examples
  • Progressive discovery: Each question builds on previous research findings

Benefits

  • Educational value: Readers learn the investigation process, not just answers
  • Reproducible research: Others can follow similar methodology for related questions
  • Practical application: Working examples help readers test and verify concepts
  • Transparency: Shows how answers were discovered and validated

This enhancement makes explanation documents both educational and practical, teaching readers how to investigate similar questions while providing concrete
