All documentation content has been removed, leaving only the frontmatter header. This file is referenced in docs.json (line 1029) as part of the "Documentation & Reading" group and is intended to follow the "essential-documentation-resources.mdx" file, which explicitly mentions "In the next section, we'll show you how to prompt AI tools to make sense of all this documentation" (line 44). Removing all content breaks this documentation flow and leaves users without the promised guidance. If this content is being deprecated or moved, the reference in docs.json should be updated accordingly, or the content should be restored/replaced with appropriate material.

This documentation file now consists only of frontmatter with no body content, which will likely result in a blank or broken documentation page when rendered. MDX files in documentation systems typically require actual content beyond just the frontmatter. Either restore the removed content, add replacement content, or remove this file entirely from the documentation structure if it's no longer needed.

The PR description is empty and provides no explanation for removing all documentation content from this file. Given that this change deletes 75+ lines of substantial technical documentation (including three complete techniques with examples), the PR description should clearly explain why this content is being removed, whether it's being moved elsewhere, deprecated, or replaced. This would help reviewers understand the intent and verify that the change is correct.

The last_updated frontmatter field is not used in any other documentation files in this codebase. All other MDX files in the docs/cookbook directory use standard frontmatter fields like title, description, and sidebarTitle. Adding a non-standard field like this may not be recognized by the documentation system and could cause inconsistency. Consider removing this field or verifying if the documentation system supports it.

# Techniques for understanding documentation

AI tools excel at breaking down complex technical content into understandable explanations and practical guidance tailored to your specific learning needs and project requirements. Below are three techniques that you can use to leverage AI to help you understand documentation.

### Used tailored prompts

The "Explain Like I'm a Vibe Coder" approach involves asking AI to simplify technical concepts while maintaining practical applicability. This technique is particularly effective for understanding blockchain concepts, API documentation, and complex development patterns. The key is providing context about your current knowledge level and specific goals rather than asking for generic explanations.

<Accordion title="Explain Like I'm a Vibe Coder Prompt">
```
I'm looking at this API documentation but finding it confusing.
I want to implement the `Checkout` component on the checkout.tsx page of my website.
Please explain this like I'm a Vibe Coder (someone new to blockchain development but familiar with basic web development):
```

```typescript Checkout.tsx
const chargeHandler = async () => {
const response = await fetch('/createCharge', { method: 'POST' });
const { id } = await response.json();
return id; // Return charge ID
};

<Checkout chargeHandler={chargeHandler}>
<CheckoutButton />
</Checkout>;
```

</Accordion>

### Use Screenshots

Sharing a screenshot with AI enhances its ability to understand your problem significantly. When you encounter confusing documentation sections, interfaces, or error messages, including screenshots in your AI prompts provides visual context that pure text cannot convey. Most AI tools can analyze images and provide specific guidance based on what they observe in your screenshots.

<Accordion title="Screenshot Prompt">
```
I'm looking at this API documentation but finding it confusing. I want to implement the `Checkout` component on the checkout.tsx page of my website.
I have attached two screenshots. The first screenshot is the page I would like to implement the `Checkout` component on. The second screenshot is the API documentation I am looking at.
Please explain this like I'm a Vibe Coder (someone new to blockchain development but familiar with basic web development):
[Screenshot 1]
[Screenshot 2]
```

</Accordion>

### Use code snippets

Code snippet analysis is another powerful technique. When you find example code in documentation but don't understand how it applies to your situation, you can paste the code into an AI prompt along with your specific requirements. The AI can explain the code's purpose, modify it for your needs, and highlight potential issues or improvements.

<Accordion title="Code Snippet Prompt">
```
I'm looking at this API documentation but finding it confusing. Please explain this like I'm a Vibe Coder (someone new to blockchain development but familiar with basic web development):
[PASTE DOCUMENTATION SECTION HERE]
Specifically help me understand:
1. What this API does in simple terms
2. When I would use it in my Mini App
3. What the key parameters mean
4. A practical example with my specific use case: [DESCRIBE YOUR USE CASE]
Break it down step-by-step and include a working code example I can copy and modify.
```
