- The agent studies your product, proposes the right documentation set, confirms
31
- important reader decisions, and creates the pages, navigation, examples, and
32
- theme in `my-docs`. The product source is read-only evidence; it is never changed
33
- or included in documentation deployment.
34
-
35
- ## Why Doxloop?
36
-
37
- - **Grounded in your product.** The agent researches configured source code,
38
- public interfaces, tests, examples, and configuration instead of inventing
39
- product behavior.
40
- - **Complete documentation planning.** Before editing, it identifies likely
41
- readers, important workflows, and the documentation types supported by the
42
- source.
43
- - **Professional authoring standards.** Pages follow consistent editorial,
44
- accessibility, information-architecture, example, and verification rules.
45
- - **Generator-native output.** Doxloop creates the correct navigation,
46
- frontmatter, components, configuration, and page format for the selected
47
- generator.
48
- - **Consistent future updates.** Reader, scope, terminology, tone, and
49
- accessibility decisions are saved with the project and reused by later runs.
50
- - **Focused maintenance.** Doxloop tracks the source revision used for the last
51
- independently validated documentation run, including committed and
52
- uncommitted source content, and directs the agent to relevant changes.
53
- - **Local control.** Source inspection, authoring, validation, and preview happen
54
- locally. Publishing is always a separate command.
55
-
56
- ## Requirements
57
-
58
- - Node.js 20.12 or later
59
- - For automatic agent launch, at least one supported agent CLI on `PATH`:
60
- [Codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex/cli),
61
- [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code), or
62
- [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli)
63
-
64
- If you prefer to work in an IDE or desktop agent, use `--print` to generate the
65
- prepared prompt and paste it into a local agent session.

37
+ Doxloop gives your coding agent a repeatable documentation workflow: inspect
38
+ the source, identify the audience, plan the content, write generator-native
39
+ pages, build navigation, and validate the result. Your product source stays
40
+ separate from the generated documentation project.
84
41
 
85
42
  ## Quickstart
86
43
 
87
- Install Doxloop:
44
+ ### 1. Install
45
+
46
+ Requires Node.js 20.12 or later.
88
47
 
89
48
  ```bash
90
49
  npm install --global @doxbrix/doxloop
91
50
  ```
92
51
 
93
- Create the documentation as a separate sibling project:
52
+ ### 2. Generate
53
+
54
+ Run this from your product directory:
94
55
 
95
56
  ```bash
96
- doxloop create --source ./my-product --output ./my-docs
57
+ doxloop create \
58
+ --source . \
59
+ --output ../my-docs \
60
+ "Create developer documentation with a quickstart and API reference."
97
61
  ```
98
62
 
99
- That single command starts the agent and the complete Doxloop authoring
100
- workflow. The agent:
101
-
102
- 1. researches the configured product source;
103
- 2. identifies the readers, public capabilities, and important workflows;
104
- 3. proposes a prioritized documentation plan;
105
- 4. asks once for any decisions that cannot be resolved from the request or
106
- source;
107
- 5. saves the confirmed documentation brief;
108
- 6. creates or improves the complete agreed documentation set;
109
- 7. adds every reader-facing page to generator-native navigation; and
110
- 8. verifies the result against Doxloop's quality requirements.
63
+ Doxloop automatically starts the first supported agent it finds. Choose one
64
+ explicitly with `--agent codex`, `--agent claude`, or `--agent gemini`.
111
65
 
112
- Preview and validate the result:
66
+ ### 3. Preview and validate
113
67
 
114
68
  ```bash
115
- cd my-docs
69
+ cd ../my-docs
116
70
  doxloop preview --open
117
71
  doxloop test
118
72
  ```
119
73
 
120
- The product and documentation projects must be separate directories:
74
+ Your source and docs remain separate:
121
75
 
122
76
  ```text
123
77
  workspace/
124
- ├── my-product/ # read-only product source; never deployed
125
- └── my-docs/ # documentation project and deployment boundary
78
+ ├── my-product/ read-only source evidence
79
+ └── my-docs/ editable and deployable documentation
126
80
  ```
127
81
 
128
- The generated documentation remains ordinary Markdown, MDX, reStructuredText,
129
- Markdoc, or HTML—depending on the selected generator—so you can review, edit,
130
- and version it like any other project.
82
+ ## Real examples
131
83
 
132
- ## Describe the documentation you want
133
-
134
- Pass additional instructions directly to `doxloop create`:
135
-
136
- ```bash
137
- doxloop create "Write for platform engineers. Include installation, Kubernetes deployment, authentication, a production-readiness checklist, and troubleshooting."
138
- ```
84
+ ### Lodash developer docs from the CLI
139
85
 
140
- The request can describe the audience, outcomes, required pages, priorities,
141
- terminology, tone, or meaningful exclusions. For example:
86
+ This command was run from the
87
+ [Lodash](https://github.com/lodash/lodash) source directory:
142
88
 
143
89
  ```bash
144
- doxloop create "Create a concise quickstart for application developers, followed by complete API reference documentation."
145
- ```
146
-
147
- ```bash
148
- doxloop create "Prioritize self-hosted deployment and administration. Do not document internal APIs."
90
+ doxloop create \
91
+ --source . \
92
+ --output ../lodash-docs \
93
+ --agent claude \
94
+ --model claude-sonnet-5 \
95
+ "Create documentation for developers for this utility library. Include a quickstart and also include class and function API reference for the developers and simplified example of each function."
149
96
  ```
150
97
 
151
- These instructions work alongside evidence found in the product source. Durable
152
- decisions are saved in `.doxloop/project.json` and reused during future updates
153
- and reviews.
98
+ **Generated documentation:** <https://apps-lodash-docs.sites.doxbrix.com/>
154
99
 
155
- ### Expert templates are selected automatically
100
+ ### Petstore API docs from VS Code with Codex
156
101
 
157
- Doxloop does not require users to choose a preset. During discovery, the agent
158
- infers the most relevant domain expertise and documentation-type playbooks from
159
- the configured source, existing pages, persisted brief, and current request. It
160
- then applies the audience inside that combination to adjust depth, terminology,
161
- examples, risk guidance, and navigation.
162
-
163
- For new or restructured sites, the agent also composes navigation from a shared
164
- professional frame, the selected documentation-type blocks, domain-specific
165
- overlays, and audience ordering. It presents a top-navigation and left-navigation
166
- outline before authoring, removes unsupported or duplicate destinations, and
167
- translates the result into the selected generator's native navigation system.
168
-
169
- For example, this request combines payments-domain expertise, a developer-portal
170
- playbook, and application-developer audience flavor:
102
+ First, initialize a documentation project and open it in VS Code:
171
103
 
172
104
  ```bash
173
- doxloop create "Create complete integration documentation for application developers using our payments API."
105
+ doxloop init petstore-docs
106
+ code petstore-docs
174
107
  ```
175
108
 
176
- This request combines SaaS-domain expertise, an administrator-guide playbook,
177
- and workspace-administrator flavor:
109
+ Then give Codex this prompt:
178
110
 
179
- ```bash
180
- doxloop create "Create a task-oriented guide for workspace administrators, including onboarding, roles, security settings, and recovery."
181
- ```
111
+ > Using Doxloop authoring, create API documentation for this OpenAPI document:
112
+ > https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json
182
113
 
183
- Users can also transform existing documentation through the normal update
184
- workflow:
114
+ Because `doxloop init` installs the Doxloop authoring skills inside the project,
115
+ Codex can inspect the OpenAPI document and create the pages, endpoint reference,
116
+ examples, and navigation directly in the opened folder.
185
117
 
186
- ```bash
187
- doxloop update "Restructure the existing documentation as an administrator guide. Preserve verified content, remove duplication, and make configuration effects explicit."
188
- ```
189
-
190
- The agent states the inferred expertise profile in its discovery summary. It
191
- asks only when competing profiles would materially change the reader, scope, or
192
- outcomes. Template checklists guide investigation but never establish product
193
- facts; every included capability still requires configured source evidence.
194
-
195
- ### Add application guide screenshots
118
+ **Generated documentation:** <https://apps-pet-store.sites.doxbrix.com/>
196
119
 
197
- Ask for screenshots directly in the authoring request:
120
+ When it finishes:
198
121
 
199
122
  ```bash
200
- doxloop create "Create an onboarding guide with screenshots. Highlight the control used in each important step."
123
+ cd petstore-docs
124
+ doxloop preview --open
125
+ doxloop test
201
126
  ```
202
127
 
203
- Or require screenshots independently of the request wording:
128
+ ## Use Doxloop in VS Code, Codex, or Claude
204
129
 
205
- ```bash
206
- doxloop create --screenshots "Create an onboarding guide."
207
- doxloop update --screenshots "Refresh the billing workflow guide."
208
- ```
130
+ Prefer working in Visual Studio Code, the Codex app, Claude Code, or another
131
+ local agent experience? Initialize the project first:
209
132
 
210
- Use `--no-screenshots` to suppress capture for a run. Screenshot capture is
211
- integrated into create and update; it does not change `doxloop capture`, which
212
- continues to collect ignored evidence from external design references.
213
-
214
- Configure an application surface in `.doxloop/project.json` when Doxloop should
215
- start or connect to a local test application:
216
-
217
- ```json
218
- {
219
- "application": {
220
- "baseUrl": "http://localhost:3000/",
221
- "source": "product",
222
- "startCommand": "npm run dev",
223
- "readyPath": "/health",
224
- "screenshots": {
225
- "policy": "requested",
226
- "viewport": { "width": 1440, "height": 900 },
227
- "highlight": true
228
- }
229
- }
230
- }
133
+ ```bash
134
+ doxloop init my-docs --source product=../my-product
231
135
  ```
232
136
 
233
- Guide screenshots are saved as committed, generator-native documentation
234
- assets and inserted beside the step they illustrate. When highlighting is
235
- enabled, the authoring workflow adds a temporary high-contrast focus ring and
236
- numbered marker before capture; the annotation is baked into the image without
237
- modifying application source.
137
+ Then open the generated folder where you want to work:
238
138
 
239
- ## Choose an agent
139
+ | Where | Open the project |
140
+ | --- | --- |
141
+ | VS Code with Codex | `code my-docs` |
142
+ | Codex app | Open the `my-docs` folder |
143
+ | Claude Code | `cd my-docs && claude` |
240
144
 
241
- Doxloop selects the first supported agent found on `PATH`. Choose one
242
- explicitly when needed:
145
+ Ask the agent to use Doxloop authoring:
243
146
 
244
- ```bash
245
- doxloop create --agent codex
246
- doxloop create --agent claude
247
- doxloop create --agent gemini
147
+ ```text
148
+ Use Doxloop authoring to create developer documentation for this project.
149
+ Start with a five-minute quickstart, then add task guides and API reference.
248
150
  ```
249
151
 
250
- You can also select a model:
152
+ `doxloop init` installs project-local skills for the supported agent
153
+ ecosystems:
251
154
 
252
- ```bash
253
- doxloop create --agent claude --model <model-name>
254
- ```
155
+ | Agent experience | Installed skills |
156
+ | --- | --- |
157
+ | Codex and Gemini | `.agents/skills/` |
158
+ | Claude Code | `.claude/skills/` |
255
159
 
256
- For Codex, set the reasoning effort for the run:
160
+ If an editor does not load project skills automatically, prepare a complete
161
+ prompt and paste it into the agent session:
257
162
 
258
163
  ```bash
259
- doxloop create --agent codex --reasoning high
164
+ doxloop create --print \
165
+ "Create developer documentation with a quickstart and API reference."
260
166
  ```
261
167
 
262
- Supported reasoning values are `minimal`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, and `xhigh`.
168
+ > `--print` cannot record when the external agent finishes. Use a
169
+ > Doxloop-launched CLI agent when automatic source-change tracking is important.
263
170
 
264
- To use the prepared workflow in a local IDE or desktop agent without asking
265
- Doxloop to start a CLI:
171
+ ## What Doxloop handles
266
172
 
267
- ```bash
268
- doxloop create --print
269
- ```
173
+ | Capability | What you get |
174
+ | --- | --- |
175
+ | 🔎 **Source-grounded research** | Uses code, public interfaces, tests, examples, and configuration as evidence. |
176
+ | 🧭 **Documentation planning** | Identifies readers, important workflows, page coverage, and navigation before writing. |
177
+ | ✍️ **Generator-native output** | Creates the right Markdown, MDX, configuration, components, and theme for the selected generator. |
178
+ | ✅ **Built-in quality checks** | Validates pages, navigation, links, metadata, code fences, and generator conventions. |
179
+ | 🔄 **Focused updates** | Tracks the source revision and directs the agent to documentation affected by product changes. |
180
+ | 🔐 **Local-first control** | Keeps authoring, validation, and preview local; publishing is always a separate command. |
270
181
 
271
- Paste the printed prompt into an agent session opened at the Doxloop project
272
- root. Project skills are installed under `.agents/skills` for Codex and Gemini,
273
- and `.claude/skills` for Claude Code.
182
+ ## Everyday workflow
274
183
 
275

184
+ | Goal | Command |
185
+ | --- | --- |
186
+ | Create a docs project | `doxloop init my-docs` |
187
+ | Generate documentation | `doxloop create "Describe what you need"` |
188
+ | Update docs after code changes | `doxloop update` |
189
+ | Run a read-only quality review | `doxloop review` |
190
+ | Preview locally | `doxloop preview --open` |
191
+ | Validate the project | `doxloop test` |
192
+ | Check setup and agent readiness | `doxloop doctor` |
193
+ | See project status | `doxloop status` |
279
194
 
280
- ## Keep documentation current
195
+ Run `doxloop <command> --help` for every option.
281
196
 
282
- After the product changes, run:
197
+ ### Choose an agent or model
283
198
 
284
199
  ```bash
285
- doxloop update
200
+ doxloop create --agent codex --reasoning high
201
+ doxloop create --agent claude --model <model-name>
202
+ doxloop create --agent gemini
286
203
  ```
287
204
 
288
- Doxloop compares the product source with the recorded synchronization baseline,
289
- includes committed and uncommitted changes in the agent prompt, and directs the
290
- agent to update affected reader-visible documentation.
291
-
292
- Add instructions when an update needs special handling:
205
+ ### Ask for exactly what you need
293
206
 
294
207
  ```bash
295
- doxloop update "Document webhook retries and remove the legacy import workflow."
208
+ doxloop create \
209
+ "Write for platform engineers. Include installation, Kubernetes deployment, authentication, a production-readiness checklist, and troubleshooting."
296
210
  ```
297
211
 
298
- The synchronization baseline is stored in `.doxloop/sync-state.json`. Commit
299
- this file when a team should share the same documentation update point.
300
-
301
- ## Review documentation
302
-
303
- Run an independent, read-only documentation review:
304
-
305
212
  ```bash
306
- doxloop review
213
+ doxloop update \
214
+ "Document webhook retries and remove the legacy import workflow."
307
215
  ```
308
216
 
309
- The agent reports prioritized findings for:
217
+ You can describe the audience, desired outcomes, required pages, tone,
218
+ priorities, or exclusions in plain language.
310
219
 
311
- - accuracy and source evidence;
312
- - reader workflows and coverage;
313
- - information architecture and navigation;
314
- - examples and reference depth;
315
- - editorial quality and terminology;
316
- - accessibility and presentation; and
317
- - maintainability and release readiness.
220
+ ## Preview, test, and publish
318
221
 
319
- `doxloop review` does not edit documentation files.
320
- Supported agents run review in their read-only or plan mode.
321
-
322
- ## Use a design reference
323
-
324
- Doxloop can adapt the information architecture and design language of a public
325

- To start a project with an external generator, install the core package and its
379
- generator package locally:
380
-
381
- ```bash
382
- mkdir my-docs
383
- cd my-docs
384
- npm init --yes
385
- npm install --save-dev \
386
- @doxbrix/doxloop \
387
- @doxbrix/doxloop-generator-mkdocs
388
-
389
- npx doxloop init . \
390
- --source product=../my-product \
391
- --generator mkdocs
392
-
393
- npx doxloop create
394
- ```
395
-
396
- Inspect and manage generator packages with:
397
-
398
- ```bash
399
- doxloop generator list
400
- doxloop generator add mkdocs
401
- doxloop generator info mkdocs
402
- doxloop generator doctor
403
- ```
404
-
405
- `generator add` installs support; it does not convert the current project or
406
- change its selected generator. To change generators, create or initialize a
407
- project with the new generator, carry over the confirmed documentation brief
408
- and source bindings, translate the content and navigation, then run
409
- `doxloop test` and the new generator's strict build before changing public
410
- URLs.
411
-
412
- `doxloop preview` uses the selected generator's native development workflow.
413
- Run `doxloop generator info <generator>` to see its build command and output
414
- directory.
260
+ Pass `--generator <name>` to `doxloop init` to select one. Doxbrix needs no
261
+ extra installation; install an external generator's adapter package before
262
+ initializing its project. The
263
+ [public generator guide](https://doxloop.sites.doxbrix.com/generators) covers
264
+ installation, selection, inspection, removal, and migration.

423
- | `doxloop-authoring` | Discovery, consultation, coverage planning, evidence, editorial quality, accessibility, maintenance, and review |
424
- | `doxloop-<generator>` | Native files, navigation, frontmatter, components, configuration, theme, preview, and generator-specific validation |
425
-
426
- The project keeps the authoring context needed for consistent future work:
427
-
428
- ```text
429
- my-docs/
430
- ├── .doxloop/
431
- │ ├── project.json # sources, generator, design references, and editorial brief
432
- │ ├── sync-state.json # last successful source synchronization
433
- │ └── last-run.json # ignored local validation receipt
434
- ├── .agents/skills/ # Codex and Gemini project skills
435
- ├── .claude/skills/ # Claude Code project skills
436
- └── docs/ # documentation content for the default generator
437
- ```
438
-
439
- Manage installed skills with:
440
-
441
- ```bash
442
- doxloop agent status
443
- doxloop agent setup
444
- doxloop agent update
445
- ```
446
-
447
- ## Validate and preview
448
-
449
- Check the project at any time:
450
-
451
- ```bash
452
- doxloop status
453
- doxloop test
454
- doxloop preview --open
455
- ```
456
-
457
- - `status` summarizes the generator, pages, sources, references, errors, and
458
- warnings.
459
- - `test` validates the documentation structure, navigation, links, metadata,
460
- code fences, and supported generator conventions.
461
- - `preview` starts the selected generator's local preview with live reload where
462
- supported.
463
-
464
- Use `doxloop test --format json` or `doxloop status --format json` in
465
- automation.
466
-
467
- ## Troubleshooting
468
-
469
- Run `doxloop doctor` inside an existing documentation project to check the
470
- project configuration, source paths, selected agent, installed skills,
471
- generator readiness, authentication, and documentation structure. Before a
472
- project exists, provide the intended locations explicitly:
473
-
474
- ```bash
475
- doxloop doctor --source ./my-product --output ./my-docs
476
- ```
477
-
478
- Useful recovery commands include:
479
-
480
- ```bash
481
- doxloop agent setup
482
- doxloop agent update
483
- doxloop generator doctor
484
- doxloop login
485
- doxloop preview --port 4400 --open
486
- ```
487
-
488
- If validation fails, run `doxloop test`, resolve every reported error, and run
489
- the selected generator's strict build. If deployment authentication fails,
490
- sign in again with `doxloop login`; Doxbrix API URLs must use HTTPS and Doxbrix
491
- tokens start with `dxb_`.
492
-
493
- ## Deploy for free with Doxbrix
494
-
495
- [Doxbrix](https://www.doxbrix.com/) is the hosted documentation platform that
496
- works with Doxloop. Doxloop handles source-grounded authoring, maintenance,
497
- validation, and preview on your machine. Doxbrix makes your documentation
498
- agentic by adding an Ask AI feature to your published docs by default.
499
-
500
- Publishing is separate from authoring, and **you can deploy a project for free
501
- on Doxbrix**. Paid plans are optional and add higher limits and additional
502
- platform features. You can also build your documentation with a supported
503
- external generator and deploy its static output to your preferred hosting
504
- provider.
505
-
506
- Create a free Doxbrix account at
507
- [app.doxbrix.com/sign-up](https://app.doxbrix.com/sign-up), then:
508
-
509
- ```bash
510
- doxloop login
511
- doxloop deploy --dry-run
512
- doxloop deploy
513
- ```
514
-
515
- For the native Doxbrix generator, `deploy --dry-run` validates and summarizes the
516
- documentation bundle. For Docusaurus, MkDocs, Sphinx, Hugo, VitePress, Markdoc,
517
- Nextra, Starlight, Jekyll, and static HTML, it runs the configured build locally
518
- and validates/packages the generated static output. `deploy` then creates or
519
- reuses a compatible Connected Docs project, uploads the checksum-bound artifact,
520
- and waits for Doxbrix indexing and deployment. Only the documentation bundle or
521
- generated site is uploaded; configured product source directories are not part
522
- of the deployment.
523
-
524
- Doxloop never installs dependencies during deploy. Install them first and make
525
- sure the generator build works locally. Only the generator's declared output
526
- directory is traversed (product source directories are not collected separately),
527
- Doxloop credentials are removed from the build environment, source maps are omitted,
528
- and likely secret files or symbolic links stop deployment.

551
- ## Security
552
-
553
- - The authoring workflow treats configured product sources as its evidence
554
- boundary. The coding agent retains the filesystem permissions granted by its
555
- host; this is a policy boundary rather than an operating-system sandbox.
556
- - Authoring, validation, preview, and design-reference capture run locally.
557
- - The authoring workflow prohibits reading credential files or publishing as
558
- part of documentation creation.
559
- - Source files and external pages are treated as untrusted evidence rather than
560
- instructions.
561
- - Documentation content directories must remain inside the project and cannot
562
- contain symbolic links.
563
- - Deployment is restricted to documentation pages, permitted media, and the
564
- selected generator's manifest.
565
- - Doxbrix credentials are stored in the user's configuration directory with
566
- user-only permissions where the operating system supports them.
567
- - Deployment uploads only the native documentation bundle or the selected
568
- external generator's validated static output. It does not upload configured
569
- product source directories.
