A strategy guide, guidebook, or set of useful tips for gaming, travel, exams, or shopping.
How it's used
Originally a term from gaming culture referring to a walkthrough or strategy guide, this has expanded to cover any collection of tips or curated advice for a specific task. It implies a sense of insider knowledge or a shortcut to success rather than just a dry manual. People often share these online on social media platforms when they want to help others navigate complex processes like visa applications or shopping in a new city.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with a formal manual or instruction booklet, which is usually called 說明書. 攻略 implies a strategic or expert approach to achieving a goal, whereas 說明書 is strictly for operating a device or assembling furniture.
