Nimbus

create-nimbus-docs 0.8.0

Released October 22, 2026.

Minor Changes

  • #273 352a245 Thanks @MohamedH1998! - A redesigned API reference:

    • The API home lists every endpoint, grouped by x-tagGroups, with a filter; large specs load in parts as you scroll. The API route serves the later parts at /api/index/2/ and on, noindex and left out of the sitemap and search; it takes the part size as homeChunkSize in both getApiStaticPaths and getApiRoute (without it, the home is one page), and getApiRoute returns the parts as home.
    • Section pages list their endpoints name first, with the method and path beneath.
    • The API version picker sits in the header, at every width.
    • Code rail lines sit on whole pixels, with quieter line numbers; section titles are in full ink.
    • The API sidebar’s rows match the docs sidebar’s.
    • Section page operations gain method, path, description and deprecated, and the root page gains an index of every endpoint.
    • getApiRoot reads an API version’s root page from any route; chunkApiIndex and apiIndexRows split and flatten its index.

    nimbus-docs migrate lists the optional steps to adopt it.

  • #274 961e85d Thanks @MohamedH1998! - - New sites’ share cards show the site’s logo, the page’s section and its title, on white. A long title shrinks before it’s cut and stays within three lines.

    • The card’s look lives in the site’s src/pages/og/_card.ts; the logo is drawn once, in src/components/logo.ts, for the header and the cards.
    • @cloudflare/nimbus-docs/og fits text by measuring it and renders cards to PNG. It needs satori and @resvg/resvg-js, optional peers.
    • getPageSection(page) returns the label of a page’s nearest parent, from the sidebar for docs pages and from the spec for API pages.

  • #274 91eb2e9 Thanks @MohamedH1998! - - Card takes href: the whole card becomes the link.

    • Diagram buttons and controls keep their 32px height inside prose.
    • PUT and PATCH method chips meet 4.5:1 contrast in light mode.
    • The version picker and the API field toggle are named by their visible text.

  • #272 9a65f9f Thanks @MohamedH1998! - New sites start on the redesigned starter:

    • A fill-in Introduction as the home page, a Writing pages guide and a Components page replace the sample pages and the landing page.
    • A new type scale, steel accent, code blocks, sidebar and header logo.
    • One pagination bar for the previous and next pages; with focus in the bar, [ and ] move between them.
    • Every component part has a data-slot to style it by, except sidebar rows, which stay bare so large sidebars stay light.
    • Components wrap long words, URLs and labels instead of overflowing on phones.
    • Text meets 4.5:1 contrast in light mode, Steps are a real list, manual Tabs render one tab list and pair each tab with its panel.
    • Pages mirror correctly in right-to-left languages; code stays left to right.
    • On phones, sites with several sections show them as tabs under the header.
    • Thin, theme-coloured scrollbars.
    • PageActions renders extra actions passed as children; the layout passes the Copy MCP URL action that way.

    Existing sites keep their look. nimbus-docs migrate lists optional steps to adopt it, the lighter sidebar rows, and the new favicons and asset caching. The registry adds a variants lib that Badge and Button install with them.

  • #278 b6d4837 Thanks @MohamedH1998! - - Route files say how they render. nimbus-docs check reports each route Nimbus manages whose file disagrees with rendering, and check --fix rewrites it: the prerender line, getStaticPaths on built routes only, and the collection name in a collection route’s page helper. Without rendering, Nimbus builds every one of these routes ahead of time, a collection route such as src/pages/sdk/[...slug].astro included. rendering still wins at build, which now warns once and lists the files.

    • A built dynamic route with no getStaticPaths fails the build, naming the file; Astro can’t build it.
    • The page helpers take the collection as a second argument, such as getCollectionPage(Astro, "sdk") or getApiRoute(Astro, "api", { homeChunkSize }), so a request-rendered route needs no getStaticPaths to say which collection it serves. A route whose getStaticPaths and helper name different collections fails with nimbus/collection-route-mismatch.
    • add adapter-* updates route files after setting rendering, and its recipes run check --fix.
    • outdated and diff compare starter route files in the site’s own mode, so a route check --fix edited doesn’t read as a local change.
    • The starter’s Markdown, llms.txt and docs page routes drop export const prerender = true; the site’s output and rendering decide how they render. A scaffold with a server adapter writes its route files in the mode its rendering gives them.

  • #284 f256109 Thanks @MohamedH1998! - - A new site can include an API reference: --api adds one at /api, from your OpenAPI 3.x file (--api ./openapi.yaml) or a sample, and --template api makes it the whole site, at /. Without flags, the scaffolder asks what the site includes, and it refuses a spec that isn’t OpenAPI 3.x before writing anything.

    • AGENT.md in a site with an API reference says where its spec and route are; a site that is only the reference has no docs-writing sections.
    • The starter’s header shows Docs and API reference tabs when a site has an API reference beside its docs.

Patch Changes

  • #282 e983040 Thanks @MohamedH1998! - - The package READMEs describe Nimbus as the authoring tool for docs, with the CLI by task and the scaffolder’s options.

  • #244 17bf1ce Thanks @MohamedH1998! - - NIMBUS_BUILD_ONLY=docs-es builds one collection, or a comma-separated set, and leaves the others empty; dev, sync and check ignore it with one notice.

    • A slice without the docs collection writes its sitemap, search bundle, stylesheet, assets and llms-full.txt under its prefix, and drops the root files the root slice serves.
    • The root slice’s llms.txt lists every collection’s llms.txt, and search merges the other slices’ indexes at runtime.
    • nimbus-docs lint checks links into other slices against the previous build’s routes, as warnings.
    • A slice build fails on an unknown collection, and on docs version collections split across slices. Slices work under Astro’s base: every URL a slice serves and advertises is under it.
    • The route list nimbus-docs lint checks against reads _redirects where the Cloudflare adapter moves it when the site has a base, so redirects stay known to link checking.
    • searchIndex in virtual:nimbus/config names the search bundles as served URLs, base included. The starter’s search provider loads its slice’s bundle and merges the others.
    • A guide, “Build one locale or one part”, with the Worker and zone routes per slice and a workflow that builds the slice a pull request touched.

  • #285 d45764d Thanks @MohamedH1998! - - migrate’s redesigned-starter step lists src/components/logo.ts, which the new Logo.astro imports.

    • Search results for API pages keep an operation’s name, method and path apart, and no longer index the API home filter’s Retry button.

  • #287 8758eeb Thanks @MohamedH1998! - - lint and check accept relative links between a content source’s pages, which the build turns into page URLs.

    • Search in a slice of several collections skips the other collections’ bundles instead of failing. @cloudflare/nimbus-docs/client exports mergeSearchIndexes, which the starter’s search provider uses.
    • API operation pages keep field names, types and labels apart in search, and leave the expand controls out.
    • The search button’s accessible name starts with its visible label, and API pages name their sidebars.

  • #243 5604125 Thanks @MohamedH1998! - - agents: { mcp: true } serves a remote MCP server at /mcp with list_pages and get_page over the published Markdown, plus a Server Card at /mcp/server-card, a line in llms.txt and an entry in the AI catalog. It needs a server adapter and @modelcontextprotocol/server; nimbus-docs check reports a missing SDK.

    • Docs pages in the starter show a “Copy MCP URL” page action that copies the server URL when the server is on. On an existing site, run nimbus-docs diff src/components/ConnectMcp.astro --apply and nimbus-docs diff src/components/connect-mcp.client.ts --apply, then pass {capabilities.mcpUrl && <ConnectMcp />} to <PageActions> in src/layouts/DocsLayout.astro, as the Remote MCP server guide shows.

  • #287 8758eeb Thanks @MohamedH1998! - - add adapter-cloudflare on a pnpm site declines workerd’s build script first, so the install no longer fails.

    • A slice’s Markdown images are published under its prefix, and Markdown images load in astro dev.
    • WebMCP search covers every slice, like the search dialog. On an existing site, pass searchIndex to it as the starter’s WebMCP.astro does.
    • Search excerpts for request-rendered pages read as text, not Markdown syntax.
    • add --overwrite names the files that carry your edits.

  • #260 0c31e84 Thanks @MohamedH1998! - - add --overwrite without a terminal keeps components you’ve edited and exits 1; --overwrite --yes replaces them and says how many carried edits.

    • add a b installs both; an unknown slug stops before anything is installed.
    • check says an optional upgrade stays listed until migrate records the version as reviewed.
    • New pnpm sites build pages with local images: sharp is a starter dependency.
    • astro build --root <site> from another folder finds the social-card font.
