### AI overview

This opinion article argues that SDK and library documentation should be designed for both human developers and AI systems. It recommends text-based formats such as Markdown, smaller topic-focused sections, and strong indexing to make documentation more efficient for LLMs and coding agents, while retaining formats such as PDFs and videos for human consumption.
