Development Environments

Option 1: Devbox (Recommended)

Devbox provides an isolated, reproducible environment:

# Install Devbox (if not already installed)
curl -fsSL https://get.jetify.com/devbox | bash

# Enter the shell
devbox shell

# All tools are now available in correct versions
hugo version
node --version

Option 2: VS Code Dev Container

The .devcontainer folder contains the configuration for a containerized development environment:

1. Open in VS Code
2. Press F1 → "Reopen in Container"
3. Wait for container to build
4. Development server starts automatically

Option 3: Manual Installation

Install the following tools:

• Hugo Extended (v0.151.0+)
• Node.js (v24+)
• Go (for htmltest)
• Task (task runner)

Contributing

We welcome contributions! Please:

1. Read README-documentor.md for documentation guidelines
2. Check existing ADRs for architectural context
3. Create a branch for your changes
4. Run task test before committing
5. Submit a pull request

Documentation Guidelines

• Write in present tense - "The system processes..." not "will process"
• Use architecture diagrams - LikeC4 for interactive diagrams
• Keep it concise - Readers appreciate brevity
• Test locally - Run task serve and verify changes
• Update regularly - Stale docs are worse than no docs
