Docouture

docouture turns an Antora content tree into a themed, searchable documentation site in one command — docouture new scaffolds it, docouture dev serves it with live reload, and docouture publish gh-pages ships it.

Key features

A `docouture new` terminal command producing a scaffolded docs/ directory with content

docouture new lays down a full Antora site — content tree, GitHub workflows, an AGENTS.md briefing for coding agents — into an existing repository. docouture dev, docouture build and docouture publish take it from there.

The UI bundle is a themed fork of Antora’s own default UI: dark/light mode, a version switcher, full-text search, and a set of authoring blocks — tabs, cards, accordions, feature tabs — with no plain AsciiDoc equivalent.

Mermaid/PlantUML/BPMN/Excalidraw diagrams render via a self-hosted Kroki service, code blocks get build-time Shiki highlighting, and a full-text search index ships with every build — all with zero configuration beyond what docouture new already wrote.

Every build publishes llms.txt/llms-full.txt for LLM ingestion, and npx skills add InditexTech/docouture installs a set of agent skills that plan, scaffold and keep a site’s content in sync with the repo it documents.

Open source

The CLI, the Antora/Asciidoctor extensions, the UI bundle (Apache-2.0/MPL-2.0 split, being a fork of antora-ui-default) and the release tooling are all open — see the FAQ below for the licence breakdown.

Frequently asked questions

What is docouture?

An Antora documentation platform: a themed UI bundle, a set of Antora/Asciidoctor extensions, and the docouture CLI that scaffolds, serves, builds and publishes a site built on top of them. See About.

How do I create a new site?

npx @inditextech/docouture-cli new <name> — see Quickstart.

Can documentation be versioned?

Yes — standalone (stable + prerelease) or versioned (full release history). See Versioning modes.

Is docouture open source?

Yes — the CLI, extensions and UI bundle are all Apache-2.0 or MPL-2.0, with nothing embedded that restricts publishing a site — see the full FAQ for the licence breakdown.
