    Features

    Built for the way you ship.

    Everything you need, nothing you don't. Configured in TypeScript, validated at boot.

    Zero Effort
    No restructuring, no plugins, no theme wiring. Point it at markdown and ship.
    Your Structure
    Config maps to how you already organize markdown. The tool fits your docs.
    AI-Friendly
    Auto llms.txt generation, raw markdown served as text/markdown, and glob discovery that picks up new files without config changes.
    Monorepo Native
    First-class workspace support with standalone sidebars and landing pages.
    VSCode Extension
    Preview your docs site directly inside VS Code as you write.
    OpenAPI Support
    Drop in an OpenAPI spec and get interactive API reference pages with try-it-out requests.
    Configuration

    One file. Validated. Type-safe.

    Define your docs site in ciderpress.config.ts. Zod validates at boot — no surprises in prod.

    • ✓Type-safe config with full IntelliSense
    • ✓Hot-reloads on every save
    • ✓Composable presets for OpenAPI, blog, changelog
    • ✓First-class i18n out of the box
