The old approach captured non-file strings like 'autogenerated' and category labels, resulting in only 5 files being processed. Now correctly processes all 86+ markdown files (~95k tokens). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(seo): use absolute URLs in AI meta tags for agent discoverability AI web-browsing agents couldn't follow relative paths in meta tags due to URL security restrictions. Changed llms-full.txt and llms.txt meta tag URLs from relative (baseUrl) to absolute (urlParts.origin + baseUrl). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(docs): recategorize misplaced files per Diataxis analysis Phase 2.5 categorization fixes based on post-migration analysis: Moved to correct Diataxis categories: - tutorials/installation.md → deleted (duplicate of how-to/install-bmad.md) - tutorials/brownfield-onboarding.md → how-to/brownfield/index.md - reference/faq/* (8 files) → explanation/faq/ - reference/agents/barry-quick-flow.md → explanation/agents/ - reference/agents/bmgd-agents.md → explanation/game-dev/agents.md Created: - explanation/agents/index.md Fixed all broken internal links (14 total) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(docs): add Getting Started tutorial and simplify build script - Add comprehensive Getting Started tutorial with installation as Step 1 - Simplify build-docs.js to read directly from docs/ (no consolidation) - Remove backup/restore dance that could corrupt docs folder on build failure - Remove ~150 lines of unused consolidation code 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(css): use fixed width layout to prevent content shifting Apply React Native docs approach: set both width and max-width at largest breakpoint (1400px) so content area maintains consistent size regardless of content length. Switches to fluid 100% below 1416px breakpoint. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(docs): restructure tutorials with renamed entry point - Rename index.md to bmad-tutorial.md for clearer navigation - Remove redundant tutorials/index.md - Update sidebar and config references 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(docs): add tutorial style guide and AI agent announcement bar - Add docs/_contributing/ with tutorial style guide - Reformat quick-start-bmm.md and bmad-tutorial.md per style guide - Remove horizontal separators, add strategic admonitions - Add persistent announcement bar for AI agents directing to llms-full.txt - Fix footer broken link to tutorials 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(docs): add markdown demo page and UI refinements - Add comprehensive markdown-demo.md for style testing - Remove doc category links from navbar (use sidebar instead) - Remove card buttons from welcome page - Add dark mode styling for announcement bar - Clean up index.md card layout 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(docs): apply unified tutorial style and update references - Reformat create-custom-agent.md to follow tutorial style guide - Update tutorial-style.md with complete unified structure - Update all internal references to renamed tutorial files - Remove obsolete advanced/index.md 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(docs): migrate from Docusaurus to Astro+Starlight Replace Docusaurus with Astro and the Starlight documentation theme for improved performance, better customization, and modern tooling.
