65a7233f36 docs: add cloudflare documentation deployment website (#1285)
* docs(website): add Fumadocs documentation site for Cloudflare Pages

Add a self-contained marketing + documentation site under website/, built
with Fumadocs (Next.js) and configured as a static export so it deploys
directly to Cloudflare Pages with no server runtime.

What's included:
- A marketing landing page (hero, the two-folder model, the four core
  ideas, the explore→propose→apply→archive loop, and the "why").
- 13 documentation pages rewritten for clarity and delight: introduction,
  installation, getting started, how commands work, core concepts, the
  workflow, explore first, existing projects, editing a change,
  customization, FAQ, and a reference section (slash commands, CLI,
  supported tools).
- Static client-side search (Orama), per-page Open Graph images, and
  llms.txt / llms-full.txt routes — fitting for an AI-native tool.
- website/README.md with one-table Cloudflare Pages deploy settings
  (root: website, build: npm run build, output: out).

Content is faithful to the docs/ overhaul from #1237, restated in a
simpler, friendlier voice. Verified with a clean `next build` (48 static
pages, no warnings).

* docs(website): sharpen the sell, add a Stores guide

Completes the documentation work begun in #1237 by tightening the
Fumadocs site toward the quality bar of the stores user-guide:

- Intro now opens problem-first ("the requirements lived only in chat"),
  adds an honest "How it compares" table (Spec Kit / Kiro / nothing), and
  frames the tradeoff in a "When the ceremony isn't worth it" callout.
- New Stores guide (beta) distilled from docs/stores-beta/user-guide.md:
  the problem, the annotated shape, a five-minute walkthrough with real
  command output, a role-based story, the root-resolution order, and an
  honest-limitations section. Linked from Existing Projects.

Verified with a clean `next build` (51 static pages, no warnings).

* docs(website): make the value tangible — landing sections + Examples page

Continue the #1237 docs completion with a stronger product story:

- Landing page now reads like a real product site:
  - "Works with the tools you already use" strip (15 named assistants + more)
  - "What a change actually looks like" — three real artifacts
    (proposal.md, a spec delta, tasks.md) so the workflow is concrete
  - "The honest middle" comparison block (Spec Kit / Kiro / no specs)
  - Robust hero gradient via color-mix instead of v3 theme() syntax
- New Examples & Recipes page: seven copy-pasteable, narrated walkthroughs
  (small feature, bug fix, explore-first, parallel changes, no-behavior
  refactor with --skip-specs, step-by-step, onboard). Linked from the intro
  and getting-started.

Verified: clean `next build` (54 static pages, no warnings); Tailwind
opacity/color-mix utilities confirmed in the generated CSS; all internal
links resolve.

* docs(website): add favicon, sitemap, and robots for a complete public site

- Branded SVG favicon (app/icon.svg) in the OpenSpec indigo.
- Static sitemap.xml covering the home page and every doc, built from the
  content source and NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL.
- robots.txt allowing all and pointing at the sitemap.

All three are emitted by the static export. Clean `next build`, 57 pages.

* docs: lead with stores as "why teams adopt OpenSpec"; complete docs coverage

Final pass completing the #1237 documentation work.

Reposition stores (beta) as the team adoption story, consistently:
- README.md gains a prominent "Why teams adopt OpenSpec" section right
  after the demo (cross-repo features, shared requirements, plan before
  code), leading with stores.
- Landing page gains a matching "Why teams adopt OpenSpec" section.
- Docs intro gains a teams card + callout pointing at stores.
- Stores page expanded with full References and Worksets technical
  examples (the cross-team requirements story, workset create/open).

Incorporate the remaining source-doc knowledge so the site is complete:
- New pages: Glossary, Troubleshooting, Multi-Language, and an
  Agents & Automation reference (the machine-readable --json surfaces and
  workflow primitives that make OpenSpec AI-native).
- The Workflow page now covers ff-vs-continue, a three-dimension verify
  example, and the update-vs-start-fresh decision guide.
- Nav restructured with a Help section; reference section gains Agents.

Build hardening: `build` now runs `fumadocs-mdx && next build` so the
content source is always regenerated. Clean build: 69 static pages, no
warnings; all internal links verified.

* docs(website): fix docs GitHub source links + address review nits

- page.tsx: prefix ViewOptionsPopover githubUrl with website/ so the
  "view/edit source" links resolve to website/content/docs/... instead
  of 404-ing on every deployed docs page (Alfred blocker).
- installation.mdx: note that `yarn global add` is Classic Yarn only and
  point Yarn Berry users at `yarn dlx` / npm / pnpm.
- index.mdx: label the comparison table's first column ("Option").
- (home)/page.tsx: use the shared docsRoute constant for all /docs links
  instead of hardcoded paths.

Verified with `npm run build` in website/ — 69 static pages, and the
built getting-started page links to blob/main/website/content/docs/...

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(website): mirror docs/*.md into the site + auto-deploy on a cadence

Make the repository's docs/*.md the single source of truth for the docs
site instead of maintaining a parallel set of hand-written MDX pages that
silently drift.

- scripts/sync-docs.mjs mirrors ../docs into content/docs/ on every build:
  derives title/description, injects Fumadocs frontmatter (+ githubSource),
  rewrites internal *.md links to /docs routes, and emits meta.json. Pages
  are written as .md so <placeholders>/{braces} in the docs stay literal
  and never break the MDX build.
- docs.sync.config.mjs is the one manifest deciding which docs publish and
  their slug/section/icon. content/docs/ is now generated + git-ignored;
  the curated .mdx pages are removed. The marketing landing page stays
  hand-authored.
- build/dev/types:check run sync:docs first, so the site is always current.
- .github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml rebuilds and deploys to Cloudflare
  Pages via Wrangler on push to docs/**|website/**, daily on a schedule,
  on demand, and as a build-only check on PRs. Needs CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN
  + CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID secrets and the DOCS_SITE_URL variable.
- source.config.ts carries githubSource so "edit this page" opens the real
  docs/*.md; website/README.md documents the pipeline.

Verified: clean build, 23 pages generated, 78 static pages, no warnings;
all internal doc links resolve; MDX-hazard docs (cli, customization) build.

* fix(website): fall back to default site URL when NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL is empty

The deploy workflow passes NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL from the DOCS_SITE_URL repo
variable, which resolves to an empty string when unset. `?? fallback` does
not catch '' (only null/undefined), so `metadataBase: new URL('')` crashed
`next build` with ERR_INVALID_URL while collecting page data. Use `||` so an
empty value also falls back. Verified: `NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL='' npm run build`
now generates all 78 static pages.

* docs: add reviewing, writing-specs, and team-workflow guides

Fill the biggest gaps a new user hits, in the plain-language voice of the
stores user guide:

- reviewing-changes.md: the two-minute human review of an AI-drafted plan
  before /opsx:apply — what to open, in what order, and the red flags per
  artifact — plus the /opsx:verify pass after code.
- writing-specs.md: what a strong requirement and scenario are made of,
  choosing ADDED/MODIFIED/REMOVED, and right-sizing a change.
- team-workflow.md: how a change maps onto a branch and a pull request,
  reviewing spec deltas in a PR, when to archive, and parallel changes —
  framed as convention, since OpenSpec never touches git.

Wire them into the docs map (README), the site nav (docs.sync.config.mjs),
and light "next steps" cross-links from getting-started, editing-changes,
and workflows. Verified: site builds clean, 26 pages, all internal links
resolve.

* docs(website): add one-time deploy setup checklist + landing-page note

Spell out the three maintainer steps that activate auto-deploy (create the
openspec-docs Pages project, add CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN/ACCOUNT_ID secrets,
merge to main), and note that the pipeline mirrors docs on build regardless.
Also flag that openspec.dev is a separate Astro landing page and whether to
keep/port this Fumadocs landing page is a maintainer decision.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(website): address review feedback on docs-site PR

Maintainer review (TabishB) + Alfred blocker:

- deploy-docs.yml: guard the Cloudflare deploy on `github.ref ==
  refs/heads/main`. A `workflow_dispatch` on a feature branch previously
  passed the guard and, since wrangler hardcodes `--branch=main` (a
  production deploy), would overwrite the live docs site. Non-main
  dispatches are now build-only. Also resolves Alfred's deploy-path blocker.
- package.json: drop the direct `cnfast` dependency and delete the dead
  `lib/cn.ts` (nothing imports it; a class-merge helper isn't used).
- package.json: declare `zod` (^4.4.3) — it was a phantom dep only
  resolving via fumadocs-mdx's hoisted copy. Refresh the lockfile.
- docs page: omit the on-page <DocsDescription>. The frontmatter
  description is derived from the first body paragraph, so it rendered
  the intro twice on every page. Kept in generateMetadata for SEO/OG.
- team-workflow.md: `openspec store create` does an initial commit, so
  scope "never commits" to the user's project and reframe the store
  clause as "never clones or syncs on its own."
- README.md: bump stale "20+ AI assistants" to "30+" to match the site.

Verified: npm run types:check + npm run build pass, 26 docs synced,
intro paragraph now renders once per page.

* chore(website): use pnpm to match the rest of the repo

Per maintainer review (TabishB): the root repo is pnpm (ci.yml runs
`pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` against a v9 `pnpm-lock.yaml`), but
`website/` had introduced npm + a `package-lock.json`. Standardize on
one package manager:

- Replace website/package-lock.json with website/pnpm-lock.yaml
  (lockfileVersion 9.0, generated with pnpm v9 to match root).
- deploy-docs.yml: add pnpm/action-setup@v4 (version 9, before
  setup-node, as in ci.yml), switch setup-node to `cache: pnpm` /
  `cache-dependency-path: website/pnpm-lock.yaml`, and
  `npm ci` → `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`, `npm run build` →
  `pnpm run build`.
- package.json scripts + README: `npm run ...` → `pnpm run ...`.

website/ stays a standalone package (no pnpm-workspace.yaml), as before.

Verified: `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`, `pnpm run build`, and
`pnpm run types:check` all pass — 26 docs synced, 87/87 static pages.

# OpenSpec Documentation
Welcome. This is the home for everything OpenSpec.
OpenSpec helps you and your AI coding assistant **agree on what to build before any code is written.** You describe the change, the AI drafts a short spec and a task list, you both look at the same plan, and then the work happens. No more discovering halfway through that the AI built the wrong thing.
If you read nothing else, read these two pages:
1. [Getting Started](getting-started.md): install, initialize, and ship your first change.
2. [How Commands Work](how-commands-work.md): where you actually type `/opsx:propose` (hint: in your AI chat, not the terminal). This trips up almost everyone once.
That second one matters more than it looks. OpenSpec has two halves: a command line tool you run in your terminal, and slash commands you give to your AI assistant. Knowing which is which saves you the most common moment of confusion.
> **The best habit to build first: when you're not sure what to build, start with `/opsx:explore`.** It's a no-stakes thinking partner that reads your code, weighs options, and sharpens a fuzzy idea into a concrete plan before any artifact or code exists. The [Explore First](explore.md) guide makes the case.
## Pick your path
**I'm brand new.** Start with [Getting Started](getting-started.md), then skim the [Core Concepts at a Glance](overview.md). When something feels mysterious, the [FAQ](faq.md) and [Glossary](glossary.md) are nearby.
**I have a problem but not a plan.** This is the common case, and it has a dedicated answer: [Explore First](explore.md). Use `/opsx:explore` to think it through with the AI before committing to anything.
**I have a big existing codebase.** You don't document all of it. [Using OpenSpec in an Existing Project](existing-projects.md) shows how to start on real, brownfield code without boiling the ocean.
**I just want to get it working.** [Install](installation.md), run `openspec init`, then read [How Commands Work](how-commands-work.md) so your first slash command lands in the right place.
**I learn by example.** The [Examples & Recipes](examples.md) page walks through real changes start to finish: a small feature, a bug fix, a refactor, an exploration.
**The AI just drafted a plan — now what?** Read it. [Reviewing a Change](reviewing-changes.md) shows the two-minute pass that catches a wrong turn while it's still cheap, and [Writing Good Specs](writing-specs.md) covers what a plan worth approving is made of.
**I work on a team.** [OpenSpec on a Team](team-workflow.md) shows how a change maps onto a branch and a pull request, and how teammates review a plan before the code.
**I'm coming from the old workflow.** The [Migration Guide](migration-guide.md) explains what changed and why, and promises your existing work is safe.
**I want to bend it to my team's process.** [Customization](customization.md) covers project config, custom schemas, and shared context.
**Something's broken.** [Troubleshooting](troubleshooting.md) collects the failures people actually hit, with fixes.

## The thirty-second version
```text
1. Install npm install -g @fission-ai/openspec@latest
2. Initialize cd your-project && openspec init
3. Explore (in your AI chat) /opsx:explore ← optional, but a great habit
4. Propose (in your AI chat) /opsx:propose add-dark-mode
5. Build (in your AI chat) /opsx:apply
6. Archive (in your AI chat) /opsx:archive
```
Steps 1 and 2 happen in your terminal. The rest happen in your AI assistant's chat. That split is the one thing worth memorizing, and [How Commands Work](how-commands-work.md) explains exactly why. Step 3 is optional, but starting with `/opsx:explore` when you're unsure is the habit most worth forming.
## Where else to get help
- **Discord:** [discord.gg/YctCnvvshC](https://discord.gg/YctCnvvshC) for questions, ideas, and help.
- **GitHub Issues:** [github.com/Fission-AI/OpenSpec/issues](https://github.com/Fission-AI/OpenSpec/issues) for bugs and feature requests.
- **`openspec feedback "your message"`** sends feedback straight from your terminal (it opens a GitHub issue).
Found something in these docs that's wrong, stale, or confusing? That's a bug. Open an issue or a PR. Documentation improvements are some of the most valuable contributions you can make.
