-`@unterberg/nivel` is the docs runtime for this repo's Vike-based documentation sites.
+Opinionated docs engine for Vike + Vite + React.
 
-It currently owns:
+`@unterberg/nivel` owns the docs runtime: Vike integration, MDX setup, docs-graph validation, route code generation, page shell rendering, and reusable docs UI primitives. The consumer stays thin and keeps its content, docs graph, visible Vike shell files, and theme files local.
 
-- docs graph validation and resolution
-- generated Vike routes from MDX content
-- docs layout primitives such as navbar, sidebar, table of contents, pagination, and meta head wiring
-- MDX setup with built-in docs components and code-block transforms
-- optional Algolia search wiring
-- engine-owned fonts and shared assets
+## What It Provides
 
-The supported stack is currently Vike + Vite + React. Expect breaking changes while the package is still alpha.
+- typed docs config and docs graph helpers
+- generated Vike docs pages from a single docs graph
+- docs shell primitives such as navbar, sidebar, table of contents, pagination, search, and meta head wiring
+- MDX support with built-in docs components and code-block tooling
+- Tailwind v4 and daisyUI integration helpers
+- a small CLI for consumer scaffolding and docs page generation
 
-## Public Helpers
+## Install
 
-```ts
-import { defineDocsConfig, defineDocsGraph } from '@unterberg/nivel/config'
+```bash
+pnpm add @unterberg/nivel react react-dom vike vike-react
+pnpm add -D vite typescript @types/react @types/react-dom
+```
+
+`vike` and `vite` are peer dependencies. The package exposes a local `nivel` binary after install.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Scaffold a consumer:
+
+```bash
+pnpm exec nivel init
 ```
 
-Both helpers are identity functions. They are also re-exported from `@unterberg/nivel`, but the dedicated config entry keeps `pages/+docs.ts` and `docs/docs.graph.ts` on a lean config-time import path.
+Generate docs pages:
+
+```bash
+pnpm exec nivel prepare
+```
+
+Typical consumer scripts:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "generate:docs": "nivel prepare",
+    "predev": "pnpm generate:docs",
+    "dev": "vike dev",
+    "prebuild": "pnpm generate:docs",
+    "build": "vike build",
+    "pretypecheck": "pnpm generate:docs",
+    "typecheck": "tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Consumer Shape
+
+Keep these files local and visible in the consumer:
+
+- `docs/docs.graph.ts`
+- `pages/+docs.ts`
+- `pages/+config.ts`
+- `pages/+Head.tsx`
+- `pages/+Layout.tsx`
+- `pages/+onCreateGlobalContext.ts`
+- `pages/+Wrapper.tsx`
+- `global.d.ts`
+- docs content, brand assets, and consumer CSS/theme files
+
+Only `pages/(nivel-generated)` is engine-generated and should not be edited by hand.
+
+`docs/docs.graph.ts` is the single source of truth for docs structure. Navbar and sidebar behavior come from that graph.
+
+## Minimal Setup
+
+`docs/docs.graph.ts`
 
 ```ts
-const docsGraph = defineDocsGraph({
+import { defineDocsGraph } from '@unterberg/nivel/config'
+
+export const docsGraph = defineDocsGraph({
   items: [
     {

-  graph: docsGraph,
-})
 ```
 
-## Recommended Consumer Files
-
-A consumer should keep these files explicit and local:
-
-- hand-authored: `pages/+docs.ts`, `docs/docs.graph.ts`, docs content, brand assets, and consumer CSS/Tailwind/theme files
-- scaffolded once but still editable: `pages/+config.ts`, `pages/+Head.tsx`, `pages/+Layout.tsx`, `pages/+onCreateGlobalContext.ts`, `pages/+Wrapper.tsx`, and `global.d.ts`
-
-Only `(nivel-generated)` stays engine-generated.
-
-## Standard Vike Config
-
-Keep `pages/+config.ts` looking like normal Vike config and spread in the engine-owned config from `@unterberg/nivel/vike`:
+`pages/+docs.ts`
 
 ```ts
-// pages/+docs.ts
 import { defineDocsConfig } from '@unterberg/nivel/config'
 import { docsGraph } from '../docs/docs.graph'
 
-export default defineDocsConfig({
+const docsConfig = defineDocsConfig({
+  graph: docsGraph,
   siteTitle: 'My Docs',
   siteDescription: 'Documentation site powered by @unterberg/nivel.',
   basePath: '/docs',
-  graph: docsGraph,
 })
+
+export default docsConfig
 ```
 
-`basePath` controls the public docs route prefix. `contentDir` is an optional project-relative filesystem root for resolving `page.source` entries and defaults to `docs`.
+`pages/+config.ts`
 
 ```ts
-// pages/+config.ts
 import nivel from '@unterberg/nivel/vike'
 import type { Config } from 'vike/types'
 import vikeReact from 'vike-react/config'

-The engine still owns the MDX, Vite, route-generation, and runtime wiring. The consumer keeps the normal Vike entry file and can adjust visible levers such as `prerender`, `ssr`, and prefetch-related settings directly in `+config.ts`.

-`nivel prepare` generates docs pages from `pages/+docs.ts`.

+`pages/+Head.tsx`
+
+```tsx

+
+export const Head = () => {
+  return <MetaHead />
+}
 ```
 
-`nivel init` does not create or overwrite consumer CSS/Tailwind/theme files. Keep those hand-authored. Add the engine Tailwind helper manually in your stylesheet:
+`pages/+Layout.tsx`
 
-```css
-@import '@unterberg/nivel/tailwind-sources.css';
+```tsx
+import { AppLayout } from '@unterberg/nivel/client'
+import type { ReactNode } from 'react'
+
+const Layout = ({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) => {
+  return <AppLayout>{children}</AppLayout>
+}
+
+export default Layout
 ```
 
-If you use Algolia, `apiKey` must be a search-only public key because requests are made from the browser.
+`pages/+Wrapper.tsx`
+
+```tsx
+import type { ReactNode } from 'react'
+import '../styles/global.css'
+
+const Wrapper = ({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) => {
+  return <>{children}</>
+}
+
+export default Wrapper
+```
 
-## Commands
+`styles/global.css`
+
+```css
+@import '@unterberg/nivel/tailwind.css';
+@import './theme.css';
+
+@source '../pages';
+@source '../docs';
+```
+
+## CLI
 
 ```bash
-pnpm install
-pnpm dev
-pnpm build
-pnpm typecheck
-pnpm format
-pnpm knip
+nivel init [--root <path>] [--force]
+nivel prepare [--root <path>]
+nivel --help
 ```
+
+- `nivel init` scaffolds the visible consumer files and patches the standard docs scripts in `package.json`
+- `nivel init --force` overwrites scaffold-managed files if they already exist
+- `nivel prepare` reads `pages/+docs.ts` and generates `pages/(nivel-generated)`
+
+`nivel init` does not create or overwrite your brand assets or consumer-specific styling decisions beyond the initial scaffold. Theme and palette files stay consumer-owned.
