The US Digital Services Playbook is a Jekyll-based documentation website publishing best-practice 'plays' for building effective government digital services, alongside the TechFAR Handbook on federal acquisition. It is maintained as Markdown content compiled into a static site.

Use cases

  • learn best practices for building government digital services
  • read guidance on iterative customer-driven software delivery in the public sector
  • understand federal acquisition flexibilities via the TechFAR Handbook
  • propose edits to digital services guidance via pull requests
  • reference checklist-style plays for digital service delivery

When to choose

  • you work in or with government agencies delivering digital services
  • you need authoritative guidance on user-centered digital service delivery and federal procurement
  • you want to contribute improvements to public digital services guidance

When to avoid

  • you need executable software, a library, or a framework
  • you need guidance for private-sector-only software delivery without procurement context
  • you need actively evolving technical documentation rather than policy-style guidance
