What it solves

Nimbus addresses the difficulty of creating documentation sites that are equally accessible to human readers and AI agents. It removes the trade-off between using a managed documentation platform (where you have little control) and building a site from scratch (which is time-consuming), by providing a fully owned, scaffolded codebase.

How it works

It uses a scaffolder to generate a complete Astro-based documentation site directly into a user's repository. This includes all layouts, components, and styles as editable files. To support AI agents, it automatically generates an agent-readable surface, including .md/.mdx twins for every page, /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt files, JSON-LD, and sitemaps.

Who it’s for

Developers and technical writers who want full ownership of their documentation source code while ensuring their docs are optimized for consumption by LLMs and coding agents.

Highlights

• Full Ownership: Every layout, component, and style is written to the repo as source code rather than being hidden in a dependency.
• Agent-First Design: Ships with built-in support for LLM-friendly files like llms.txt and structured metadata by default.
• Flexible Deployment: Static by default, but supports adapters for Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, and Node.js for on-demand routes.
• Authoring Guardrails: Includes prose linting, MDX component validation, and human-readable configuration errors.
