Documentation automation
How OpenAdminOS keeps its documentation current.
On this page
The documentation at docs.openadminos.com is built from docs/gitbook by the website in web/. docs/gitbook/SUMMARY.md sets the sidebar groups and page order.
Hand-authored pages live directly under docs/gitbook. Generated pages live under docs/gitbook/generated and should not be edited manually.
The website build only sees the web/ folder, so the generator also copies every page listed in SUMMARY.md into web/content/docs, together with a manifest.json of page URLs and redirects for older URLs. Edit docs/gitbook, not the copy.
Commands#
npm run docs:generate
npm run docs:checkdocs:generate refreshes agents/index.json, rebuilds the summary, regenerates agent/reference pages from manifests, and refreshes the copy in web/content/docs.
docs:check runs the generator and fails if the checked-in docs or the copy are stale.
GitHub Action#
The documentation workflow runs on commits to main that touch app, package, agent, docs, or workflow files. If generated docs change, the workflow opens a pull request instead of pushing directly to main.
That keeps the docs self-updating while preserving human review.
