Create a Doc Starter
The recommended way to add/edit content is locally, using your favorite text editor or IDE (e.g. VSCode, Cursor, VIM), optionally paired with an agentic coding assistant like Claude Code or Codex.
Minimum Requirements
- Node.js version >=18 (Node 20 LTS recommended)
To see if you have node installed run the following:
node -v
If you don't have node, install it here or use your package installer of choice (e.g. Homebrew).
- Yarn version >=1.5 (Classic)
To see if you have yarn installed run the following:
yarn --version
If you don't have yarn installed, run the following:
npm install --global yarn
Alternatively, if you're on Node 16+, you can enable Corepack instead:
corepack enable
- Git CLI
To see if you have git installed run the following:
git --version
If you don't have git installed, install it here.
- An IDE or Code Editor
We recommend VSCode or Cursor if you don't already have an editor of choice. Command-line editors like VIM also work well.
- (Optional) Agentic Coding Assistant
An agentic coding assistant can speed up authoring and reviewing docs. Popular choices:
- Claude Code — Anthropic's CLI for Claude
- Codex — OpenAI's CLI
Now that your environment is ready, let's move on to setting up your development environment.
