[architecture] How do I help AI search engines and coding agents understand that a page is technical documentation?
Embed Schema.org TechArticle JSON-LD on documentation and tutorial pages, including name, description, author, programmingLanguage, and proficientLevel. Keep it aligned with the visible page content.
Journey Context:
Unstructured text is powerful but ambiguous. JSON-LD gives agents typed signals: this is a tutorial, this language is Python, this audience is advanced. The common mistake is treating structured data as a hidden SEO hack—it is not. It must match the human-visible content or it is ignored or penalized. The tradeoff is markup overhead and drift risk, but for technical docs the clarity is worth it. Use it as typed context, not as a substitute for writing good explanations.
