Summary

Migrates apps/docs from locally-copied geistdocs runtime code to the published @vercel/geistdocs package (1.8.2), following the official migration guide. Net −8,400 lines.

Package-backed now

  • Docs page + layouts: createDocsPage, GeistdocsDocsLayout, GeistdocsHomeLayout (JSON-LD + sr-only markdown hints preserved via renderTop)
  • Navbar (OSS product switcher via navbarOssProducts), footer, provider, search dialog, page actions (edit source, feedback, copy page, Ask AI, open-in-chat, scroll top)
  • /api/searchcreateSearchRoute, /api/chatcreateChatRoute (AI SDK v6; AI Gateway default, optional GEISTDOCS_CHAT_PROXY_URL)
  • llms.mdxcreateDocsMarkdownRoute, sitemap.mdcreateSitemapMarkdownRoute (now includes an Adapters section)
  • New: /agents.md via createAgentsRoute, backed by a new agent readiness config
  • proxy.tscreateProxy with explicit markdownRoutes for /docsllms.mdx and /adaptersadapters.mdx (adds AI-agent UA rewrites)
  • CSS: @vercel/geistdocs/styles.css + slim local overrides (shadcn tokens for remaining components/ui, body tint, prose inline code, #nd-* tweaks); code blocks now use the geist Shiki theme
  • Icons/logos from @vercel/geistdocs/assets/*; feedback via the package action (same geistdocs.com endpoint + siteId)

Kept local by design

  • Curated /llms.txt index + /llms-full.txt corpus — the published AGENTS.md/SKILL.md artifacts and integration tests reference this exact contract
  • The adapters section (README fetching, OG images, JSON-LD, feature matrices, adapters.mdx markdown route) — now rendered inside the package docs layout
  • RSS and OG image routes (app-owned per the migration guide)
  • Skipped /.well-known/mcp.json: no MCP servers configured, and the proxy matcher must keep excluding .well-known for the served agent-skills files

Cleanup

  • Deleted local copies: components/geistdocs/* chrome, components/ai-elements/*, chat hooks/persistence, feedback server actions, unused shadcn primitives, geistcn logo/icon fallbacks covered by package assets
  • Removed 13 now-unused deps (ai@5, @ai-sdk/react@2, dexie, jotai, cmdk, vaul, mermaid, nanoid, react-player, use-stick-to-bottom, @orama/tokenizers, dexie-react-hooks, next-themes)
  • Updated docs-llms.test.ts proxy assertions to the createProxy markdown-route shape

Behavior changes to be aware of

  • Code blocks use the geist Shiki theme instead of GitHub light/dark
  • Ask AI history is no longer persisted in IndexedDB (package owns the panel)
  • Adapters sidebar uses the standard geistdocs tree rendering instead of the bespoke grouped sidebar
  • Per-page markdown output appends the standard geistdocs footer links (/sitemap.md, /llms.txt, /agents.md)

Test plan

  • pnpm validate green (knip + check + typecheck + test + build)
  • Smoke-tested against next build && next start: /, /docs, /adapters, /agents.md, /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt, /sitemap.md, page-level .md URLs for both docs and adapters, Accept: text/markdown negotiation, search API, JSON-LD, sr-only markdown hints, edit-source URLs (apps/docs/content/docs/{path}), OSS navbar, page actions
  • Verified compiled CSS chunks contain the home grid, Shiki palette, and geist utilities (note: stale turbopack dev caches from before this change can serve incomplete CSS — rm -rf apps/docs/.next fixes it)

Checklist

  • All commits are signed and verified
  • All commits are signed off for the DCO (git commit -s)
  • pnpm validate passes
  • Changeset added (or N/A — docs app + tests only, no package behavior change)
  • Documentation updated (or N/A)

Replace the locally-copied geistdocs runtime in apps/docs with the
published @vercel/geistdocs package, keeping site-specific content,
custom sections, and established public contracts local.

Package-backed now: docs page + layouts (createDocsPage,
GeistdocsDocsLayout/HomeLayout), navbar/footer/provider, search
(createSearchRoute), Ask AI (createChatRoute, AI SDK v6), per-page
markdown (createDocsMarkdownRoute), sitemap.md
(createSitemapMarkdownRoute, now with an Adapters section), a new
/agents.md surface (createAgentsRoute), proxy (createProxy with
explicit markdownRoutes for /docs and /adapters), MDX defaults,
design tokens/styles, and icon/logo assets.

Kept local by design: the curated /llms.txt index and /llms-full.txt
corpus (referenced by the published SKILL.md artifacts and tests), the
adapters section (README fetching, OG images, JSON-LD, feature
matrices, adapters.mdx markdown route), RSS, and the OG image route.

Also: removes 13 now-unused dependencies (ai@5, @ai-sdk/react@2,
dexie, jotai, cmdk, vaul, mermaid, etc.), slims the local CSS to
overrides on top of @vercel/geistdocs/styles.css, and updates the
docs-llms integration test to assert on the new proxy shape.
