promptfoo--promptfoo/site/AGENTS.md

Documentation Site

Docusaurus-based documentation at promptfoo.dev.

Key rules:

• Don't start your own dev server for the site (ask user first)
• Don't edit CHANGELOG.md (auto-generated)
• Commits: Always use docs(site): scope for all site changes (docs, pages, components, plugins, styles)

Key Principles

1. Small edits - Most updates should be 1-5 lines
2. Search first - Find existing docs before creating new ones
3. Don't rewrite - Improve incrementally
4. Don't modify headings - Often externally linked
5. No fluff - Avoid embellishment words like "sophisticated"

Before Making Changes

# Search for existing docs
grep -r "topic" site/docs/
find site/docs -name "*keyword*"

Terminology

• Use "eval" not "evaluation" in commands
• "Promptfoo" when referring to the company or product, "promptfoo" when referring to the CLI command or in code

Front Matter (Required)

---
title: Page Title (under 60 chars)
description: Summary (150-160 chars)
sidebar_position: 3
---

Code Blocks

• Add title="filename.yaml" only for complete, runnable files
• No titles for code fragments
• Use // highlight-next-line for emphasis
• Never remove existing highlight directives

Admonitions

:::note
Content with empty lines around it.
:::

Types: note, warning, danger

Development

cd site
npm run dev                            # localhost:3000
SKIP_OG_GENERATION=true npm run build  # Faster builds

Anti-Patterns

• Verbose, LLM-generated explanations
• Repetitive content across pages
• Generic examples
• Bullet overuse where prose is clearer

Source Alignment

• Red team docs: read site/docs/red-team/AGENTS.md; keep behavior aligned with src/redteam/AGENTS.md.
• Assertion docs: update site/docs/configuration/expected-outputs/ and site/docs/tracing.md when assertion behavior changes.
• Code scanning docs: keep site/docs/code-scanning/ aligned with src/codeScan/ and code-scan-action/README.md.
