Create Docs

Use [pm] as placeholder in commands below.

Step 1: Analyze Project

Detect Project Structure

Check for:
├── pnpm-workspace.yaml   → pnpm monorepo
├── turbo.json            → Turborepo monorepo
├── lerna.json            → Lerna monorepo
├── nx.json               → Nx monorepo
├── apps/                 → Apps directory (monorepo)
├── packages/             → Packages directory (monorepo)
├── docs/                 → Existing docs (avoid overwriting)
├── README.md             → Main documentation source
└── src/ or lib/          → Source code location

Determine Docs Location

Read Context Files

Detect i18n Requirement

Check if project needs multi-language docs:

Step 2: Initialize Docs

Create Directory Structure

Default template:

[docs-location]/
├── app/                            # Optional: for customization
│   ├── app.config.ts
│   ├── components/
│   ├── layouts/
│   └── pages/
├── content/
│   ├── index.md
│   └── 1.getting-started/
│       ├── .navigation.yml
│       └── 1.introduction.md
├── public/
│   └── favicon.ico
├── package.json
└── .gitignore

i18n template (if multi-language detected):

[docs-location]/
├── app/
│   └── app.config.ts
├── content/
│   ├── en/
│   │   ├── index.md
│   │   └── 1.getting-started/
│   │       ├── .navigation.yml
│   │       └── 1.introduction.md
│   └── fr/                         # Or other detected languages
│       ├── index.md
│       └── 1.getting-started/
│           ├── .navigation.yml
│           └── 1.introduction.md
├── nuxt.config.ts                  # Required for i18n config
├── public/
│   └── favicon.ico
├── package.json
└── .gitignore

Create package.json

Default:

{
  "name": "[project-name]-docs",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nuxt dev --extends docus",
    "build": "nuxt build --extends docus",
    "generate": "nuxt generate --extends docus",
    "preview": "nuxt preview --extends docus"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "docus": "latest",
    "better-sqlite3": "^12.5.0",
    "nuxt": "^4.2.2"
  }
}

i18n (add @nuxtjs/i18n):

{
  "name": "[project-name]-docs",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nuxt dev --extends docus",
    "build": "nuxt build --extends docus",
    "generate": "nuxt generate --extends docus",
    "preview": "nuxt preview --extends docus"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@nuxtjs/i18n": "^10.2.1",
    "docus": "latest",
    "better-sqlite3": "^12.5.0",
    "nuxt": "^4.2.2"
  }
}

Create nuxt.config.ts (i18n only)

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ["@nuxtjs/i18n"],
  i18n: {
    locales: [
      { code: "en", language: "en-US", name: "English" },
      { code: "fr", language: "fr-FR", name: "Français" },
    ],
    defaultLocale: "en",
  },
});

Create .gitignore

node_modules
.nuxt
.output
.data
dist

Update Monorepo Configuration (if applicable)

pnpm Monorepo

1. Add docs to workspace and configure onlyBuiltDependencies (required for better-sqlite3):
