mkdocs-documentation

MkDocs Material documentation management. This skill should be used when writing, formatting, or validating documentation in docs/. Covers admonitions, Mermaid diagrams, code blocks with annotations, content tabs, navigation setup, and mkdocs testing. Always check project-specific docs at docs/dev/ai/skills/ and docs/dev/ai/agents/ for project-specific Claude skill and Claude agent documentation when available.

MkDocs Material Documentation

Write and maintain documentation using MkDocs Material in the docs/ directory.

Project-Specific Claude Documentation

Always check first for project-specific Claude configurations:

  • docs/dev/ai/skills/SKILL-NAME.md - Project-specific Claude skill docs
  • docs/dev/ai/agents/AGENT-NAME.md - Project-specific Claude agent docs

These take precedence over general patterns.

## Workflow

1. **Write content** - Use references for formatting syntax
2. **Preview** - `mkdocs serve` for live reload
3. **Validate** - `mkdocs build --strict` catches issues
4. **Document Claude features** - Update `docs/dev/ai/skills/` or `docs/dev/ai/agents/` if adding project-specific Claude skills or agents

## Validation Commands

```bash
# Dev server with live reload
mkdocs serve

# Strict build (CI validation)
mkdocs build --strict

# Quick dirty reload during editing
mkdocs serve --dirty
