What This Is

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What This Is

This is the documentation site for PocketPaw, a self-hosted AI agent. The docs are 120+ MDX files consumed by an Astro-based static site generator. The built output lives in ../docs-dist/ (Astro SSG with Pagefind search and Partytown).

There is no astro.config.* or package.json in this repo — the Astro build tooling is external. The docs themselves are pure content (MDX + config JSON).

Documentation Structure

All content is MDX (Markdown + JSX components). Every file has YAML frontmatter with title and description. API endpoint pages additionally have api, baseUrl, layout, and auth fields.

MDX Components Used

The docs use custom Astro/MDX components (provided by the external build tooling, not defined here):

• <Card>, <CardGroup> — feature cards with icons and links
• <Steps>, <Step> — numbered step sequences
• <Tabs>, <Tab> — tabbed content blocks (used heavily in API docs for cURL/JS/Python examples)
• <ResponseField> — API response field documentation (supports nesting)
• <RequestExample>, <ResponseExample> — API example request/response blocks
• <Callout> — info/warning/tip callouts

Icon convention: Lucide icons referenced as lucide:icon-name strings.

docs-config.json

Central configuration file controlling:

• metadata — site name, description, version
• branding — colors (primary #0A84FF, accent #d49a5c), fonts (Plus Jakarta Sans / JetBrains Mono), logos
• navigation.sidebar — 11 top-level sections defining the full sidebar tree. This is the source of truth for page ordering and hierarchy
• navigation.navbar — top nav links + Guides dropdown + GitHub star + CTA button
• seo — OG image, JSON-LD, canonical URLs, breadcrumbs
• search — local Pagefind search
• integrations — edit-on-GitHub links (/edit/main/docs/{path}), last-updated timestamps, feedback widget

When adding new pages, they must be added to the appropriate navigation.sidebar section in this file to appear in the sidebar.

API Endpoint Pages

The endpoint pages in api/ follow a strict pattern:

---
title: Get Channel Status
description: ...
api: GET /api/channels/status
baseUrl: http://localhost:8000
layout: '@/layouts/APIEndpointLayout.astro'
auth: bearer
---

## Overview
...

## Response
<ResponseField name="..." type="...">...</ResponseField>

<RequestExample>
<Tabs items={["cURL", "JavaScript", "Python"]}>
  <Tab title="cURL">...</Tab>
  ...
</Tabs>
</RequestExample>

<ResponseExample>
<Tabs items={["200"]}>
  <Tab title="200">...</Tab>
</Tabs>
</ResponseExample>

Key Conventions

• Package name duality: Internal Python package is pocketclaw, public-facing name in docs is PocketPaw. Import paths use pocketclaw (e.g., from pocketclaw.tools.registry import ...).
• Channel count: "9+" channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, Teams, Google Chat, Web Dashboard).
• Tool count: "50+" built-in tools across search, media, integrations, sessions, desktop, and coding categories.
• Backend count: 3 backends (Claude Agent SDK, PocketPaw Native, Open Interpreter).
• _images/ and _assets/: Currently empty placeholder directories for future media.
• Landing page: _landing/ is standalone HTML/CSS/JS, not MDX. Separate from the docs content pipeline.
• The legacy ../documentation/features/ directory has older markdown docs — the docs/ MDX files are the canonical source.
