## 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.

### Timeline

- 2025: GitHub repository created.
- 2026-05: 0.8.5 release introduced an offline semantic search preview.
- 2026-06: 0.8.6 release emphasized native MCP and agent skills.
- 2026-06: 0.8.9 release hardened plugin registry and semantic-search packaging.

### Related projects

- The README compares docmd with Docusaurus, MkDocs, VitePress, and Mintlify. Related official repositories include docmd-search for semantic search and docmd-skills for generated agent instruction sets.
