# Documentation Sync Rule

When modifying code that affects user-facing behavior, you MUST also update the documentation in `apps/docs/`.

## What triggers a doc update

| Code change | Doc location |
|---|---|
| New integration | `apps/docs/docs/integrations/<slug>/index.mdx` + `index.ts` |
| New widget | `apps/docs/docs/widgets/<slug>/index.mdx` + `index.ts` |
| Changed API surface | `apps/docs/docs/management/api.mdx` |
| New/changed env vars | `apps/docs/docs/advanced/` |
| New CLI commands | `apps/docs/docs/advanced/command-line/` |
| Changed auth providers | `apps/docs/docs/advanced/` SSO pages |
| UI/UX changes | Relevant getting-started or management pages |
| New cron job | `apps/docs/docs/management/tasks.mdx` |
| Changed permissions | `apps/docs/docs/management/users.mdx` |

## Integration doc pattern

Each integration has a folder under `apps/docs/docs/integrations/<slug>/`:

- `index.ts` — exports a typed `IntegrationDefinition` with name, description, iconUrl, path
- `index.mdx` — uses shared components: `IntegrationHeader`, `IntegrationCapabilites`, `IntegrationSecrets`
- Import metadata from `@homarr/definitions` where possible

## Widget doc pattern

Each widget has a folder under `apps/docs/docs/widgets/<slug>/`:

- `index.ts` — exports a typed `WidgetDefinition` with icon, name, description, path, configuration
- `index.mdx` — uses shared components: `WidgetHeader`, `WidgetConfig`, `WidgetAdding`

## Development

- Run docs locally: `pnpm dev:docs` from root
- Build docs: `pnpm turbo build --filter=@homarr/docs`
- The docs app can import from `@homarr/definitions` for type-safe integration/widget metadata
