## What it does

The skill inspects the repository before drafting content. The agent examines source files, examples, tests, and configuration files such as `rspress.config.ts`. Package managers are detected directly from lockfiles like `pnpm-lock.yaml` or `yarn.lock` to run commands in the existing environment.

When no documentation exists, the agent scaffolds a fresh Rspress v2 site. For pull requests, it modifies targeted `.mdx` files and updates navigation records inside `_meta.json` or `_nav.json`. If legacy Rspress v1 dependencies are found, the skill pauses documentation updates and routes the project to `rspress-v2-upgrade`.

A passing build serves as the strict completion gate. The agent executes the documentation build script and resolves broken links or frontmatter errors before finishing.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rstackjs/agent-skills --skill rspress-docs-generator -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/rspress-docs-generator/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/rspress-docs-generator/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rstackjs/agent-skills --skill rspress-docs-generator -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/rspress-docs-generator/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rstackjs/agent-skills --skill rspress-docs-generator -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/rspress-docs-generator/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install rstackjs/agent-skills rspress-docs-generator
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/rspress-docs-generator/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rstackjs/agent-skills --skill rspress-docs-generator -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/rstackjs/agent-skills --path skills/rspress-docs-generator
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/rspress-docs-generator/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rstackjs/agent-skills --skill rspress-docs-generator -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/rstackjs/agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/rspress-docs-generator/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- scaffold a new Rspress v2 documentation site for an undocumented project
- keep `.mdx` pages and `_meta.json` navigation in sync with source code PRs
- catch Rspress v1 dependencies early and hand off to migration tooling
- validate docs integrity through a mandatory build check

## Example prompts
- Create a new Rspress v2 documentation site for this workspace
- Update the API docs to match recent changes in src/formatBytes.ts
- Run the docs build and fix any broken links or frontmatter errors

# Rspress docs generator

Create and maintain Rspress documentation as part of normal project work. Prefer source-backed docs over generic prose: read the code, tests, examples, package metadata, and existing README before writing.

## Use cases

- Create a new Rspress v2 documentation site for a project that has no docs site yet.
- Update an existing Rspress v2 docs site for a user-facing feature, API change, CLI change, or PR.
- Detect Rspress v1 version markers before documentation work and hand migration to the dedicated `rspress-v2-upgrade` skill.
- Integrate Rspress documentation into an Rslib package or workspace while preserving the repository's package manager and scripts.

## Workflow

1. **Inspect the project**
   - Locate package files, source entry points, examples, tests, changelogs, and README files.
   - Search for Rspress config files: `rspress.config.ts`, `.js`, `.mjs`, or `.cjs`.
   - Inspect dependencies for Rspress version markers: `@rspress/core` version, legacy `rspress` package or `rspress/*` imports, and `@rspress/plugin-*`.
   - Detect the package manager and workspace setup from lock files (`pnpm-lock.yaml`, `yarn.lock`, `package-lock.json`, `bun.lock`, `bun.lockb`) and `pnpm-workspace.yaml`.
   - If a config exists, resolve the docs root from its `root` option. When `root` is absent, inspect package scripts, CI commands, and documented commands for Rspress CLI positional roots such as `rspress dev site`, `rspress build site`, or `rspress preview site`; use that argument before falling back to Rspress's default `docs/` directory relative to the config file's project cwd. If no config exists, check common roots such as `docs/`, `doc/`, `website/`, and `site/`.

2. **Choose the correct path**
   - If no Rspress docs site exists, follow [Create New Docs](references/create-new-docs.md).
   - If a Rspress docs site exists but appears to be v1, follow [Rspress Version Guard](references/rspress-version-guard.md) before editing docs.
   - If a Rspress v2 docs site exists, follow [Maintain Docs For PRs](references/maintain-docs-for-prs.md).

3. **Validate before finishing**
   - Run the docs build from the Rspress project directory or through the repo's root script.
   - The build must pass as the primary success criterion.
   - Fix broken links, missing navigation entries, invalid frontmatter, and failed MDX imports before reporting completion.

## Code examples

Use the repository's package manager when creating or validating docs:

```bash
# Create a new Rspress docs site with the detected package manager.
# Replace pnpm with npm, yarn, or bun when that is the repo package manager.
pnpm create rspress@latest
````
