What is the DocumenterVitepress SkillProof Score?

9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install DocumenterVitepress?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use DocumenterVitepress with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Catches the specific dev_docs("build") gotcha — it silently appends /.documenter internally, so passing the wrong path is a real, easy-to-hit bug that generic Julia/VitePress knowledge would not flag.

What DocumenterVitepress does

Guides the local development loop for Julia packages using DocumenterVitepress.jl: toggling build_vitepress=false for fast markdown-only rebuilds, running dev_docs as a background hot-reload server, and the specific gotchas around npm dependency ownership, custom theme files, and DocumenterVitepress.deploydocs vs plain Documenter.deploydocs. Triggers when a user mentions DocumenterVitepress, VitePress for Julia docs, or wants a local docs preview with hot reload.
