About Docmd

docmd is an open-source, zero-config documentation engine that converts Markdown files into production-ready documentation sites. It generates static HTML with less than 20KB client JavaScript, achieving Lighthouse 100 scores, and provides instant offline fuzzy search without API keys. Features include rich layout containers (callouts, tabs, cards, icons), native i18n, light/dark themes, multi-version documentation, and one‑command deploy to GitHub Pages, Docker, Nginx, or Caddy. It also supports AI context through MCP server, SKILL.md, and llms-full.txt. No React, Vue, or framework knowledge is required, and it works with any existing Markdown structure.
