history
Project history and usage
docmd is a young TypeScript documentation generator for Markdown projects. Its public positioning is explicitly modern documentation tooling: zero-config static output, small client payloads, local search, AI context files, and a CLI-centered workflow.
Project history
The GitHub repository was created in May 2025. By 2026, the README described docmd as production-ready documentation from Markdown with no required config, built-in search, versioning, internationalization, plugins, Docker images, and AI-oriented features.
Adoption history
docmd is early but visible. The repository has more than two thousand GitHub stars, Homebrew packages the npm-distributed core package, and the project publishes frequent GitHub releases. Homebrew analytics show hundreds of recent installs, which is notable for such a new documentation generator.
How it is used
The normal workflow is `npx @docmd/core dev` for local development and `npx @docmd/core build` for static output. A `docmd.config.json`, TypeScript, or JavaScript config file is optional and used when the generated navigation and defaults need more control.
Why package nerds care
docmd is interesting as a snapshot of documentation tooling after LLM workflows became mainstream. Its package story mixes npm, Docker, Homebrew, generated `llms.txt` context, a native MCP command, and plugin metadata, showing how docs generators adapted from static sites toward agent-readable project surfaces.

Recommended review
Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
