Turn your docs into executable handoffs for coding agents.

doc-bridge reads your repo docs, ownership map, and human documentation site, then gives every agent the same answer:

• where to start reading
• which files/packages it may edit
• which checks prove the change
• which human docs explain the feature

It is not a wiki or hosted RAG. The core works without any LLM or API key; the documentation portal dogfoods AgentsKit Chat as an optional surface over that deterministic layer.

Agents are powerful, but most repo docs are written for humans. The result is familiar: the agent guesses ownership, edits the sibling package, runs the wrong test, or ignores the human guide that already explained the rule.

doc-bridge works in both directions:

The handoff is a routing contract:

{
  "startHere": "docs/for-agents/packages/auth.md",
  "editRoots": ["packages/auth"],
  "checks": ["pnpm --filter @demo/auth test"],
  "humanDoc": "/docs/guides/auth"
}

That contract works from the terminal, MCP, CI, and optional RAG/chat.

npm i -D @agentskit/doc-bridge
npx ak-docs demo --text

No config, no docs to read first. Output shows before/after, a real handoff, gate red→green, and the MCP snippet:

After (handoff.resolve / query --agent)
  ✓ target:  auth (packages/auth)
  ✓ start:   docs/for-agents/packages/auth.md
  ✓ edit:    packages/auth
  ✓ checks:  pnpm --filter @demo/auth test · pnpm --filter @demo/auth lint
  ✓ human guide: /docs/guides/auth

Gate: red → green

Monorepo fixture with auth + billing:

npx ak-docs demo --fixture monorepo --text

This checked example runs the bundled demo through the public CLI. The README gate compares this block byte-for-byte with the executable fixture and runs it on every PR.

import { execFileSync } from 'node:child_process'

execFileSync(process.execPath, ['bin/ak-docs.js', 'demo', '--text'], {
  stdio: 'inherit',
})

node examples/verify-handoff.mjs

Full setup in your repo:

npx ak-docs init
npx ak-docs index
npx ak-docs query package example --agent
ak-docs mcp install --cursor   # wires MCP into .cursor/mcp.json

See docs/getting-started.md, docs/mcp.md, and docs/examples.md.

doc-bridge ships AgentHandoff JSON:

{
  "type": "agent-handoff",
  "startHere": "docs/for-agents/packages/auth.md",
  "editRoots": ["packages/auth"],
  "checks": ["pnpm --filter @demo/auth test"],
  "humanDoc": "/docs/guides/auth",
  "bridge": { "humanDoc": "linked" }
}

When a human guide is missing, handoffs surface it as a feature:

{
  "bridge": {
    "humanDoc": "missing",
    "action": "ak-docs bootstrap agent-docs"
  },
  "notes": ["Human guide missing for billing. Run: ak-docs bootstrap agent-docs"]
}

ak-docs ask "who owns schemas"
# Best match: ownership os-core
# Handoff preview
#   start:  docs/for-agents/packages/os-core.md
#   edit:   packages/os-core
#   checks: pnpm --filter os-core lint · pnpm --filter os-core test

ak-docs doctor --text
ak-docs doctor --badge          # shields.io markdown for README
ak-docs index --watch           # keep index fresh while editing docs

Score: 82/100 (B)
  Agent docs:      8/10 (80% handoff-ready)
  Human guides:    6/10 (60% bridged)
  Gates:           3/3 passing

Next actions
  → ak-docs bootstrap agent-docs
  → ak-docs query package billing --agent

1. MCP auto-wire: ak-docs mcp install --cursor
2. Skill/rule: paste docs/skills/doc-bridge.md into Cursor rules — agents call handoff.resolve before editing packages/*
3. Handoff is the next step: startHere, checks, and bridge are in the JSON/MCP response

Reuse the bundled GitHub Action on every PR:

permissions:
  contents: read

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v4
  - uses: AgentsKit-io/doc-bridge@v1.2.1
    with:
      config-path: doc-bridge.config.json

The Action checks the committed index before changing anything, pins the matching npm package, and rejects non-exact package versions. See the Marketplace guide.

Run ak-docs doctor --badge locally to refresh — or pnpm coverage:badge in CI.

Or locally:

ak-docs index && ak-docs gate run

Gate fails with Index is stale. Run: ak-docs index — same check in CI annotations.
