Quick Start

Point docmd at a folder of Markdown files:

npx @docmd/core dev

Open http://localhost:3000.

That's it. Navigation is generated from your file structure. No config file, frontmatter, or framework required.

When you're ready to deploy:

npx @docmd/core build

docmd generates a static site that can be deployed to Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, GitHub Pages, S3, NGINX, Caddy, or any other static host.

Requires Node.js 20+.

Global installation and Docker

Install globally:

npm install -g @docmd/core

# or
pnpm add -g @docmd/core

Then:

docmd dev
docmd build

Or run with Docker:

docker run -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/docmd-io/docmd:latest

Pin the Docker image to a specific release for reproducible production builds.

One Source. Every Output.

docmd is an open source documentation compiler.

Instead of treating your Markdown as input for a website alone, docmd compiles the same source into outputs for readers, search engines, LLMs, coding agents, and knowledge systems.

One source tree. One build pipeline. No separate documentation and AI knowledge stacks to maintain.

Why docmd?

Documentation increasingly has more than one reader.

People need a fast, navigable website. Search engines need structured metadata. LLMs need clean context. Coding agents need tools and protocols. RAG systems need structured knowledge.

docmd builds these together while keeping Markdown at the centre.

Features

Zero config, instant start

Point docmd at any Markdown folder and it runs. Navigation is generated automatically from your file structure — no boilerplate, frontmatter, or build pipeline required to get started.

Lightweight by default, fast everywhere

docmd generates static HTML with minimal vanilla JavaScript and fast SPA-style navigation. Offline full-text search, sitemap, canonical URLs, Open Graph metadata, and other essentials are built into the output.

AI & agent-ready

docmd treats machine-readable documentation as part of the build, not a separate publishing workflow.
