Mastra Documentation Guidelines
Use this skill when you create or update Mastra docs. Keep the docs clear and consistent. Follow the most specific AGENTS.md for the area you change.
Styleguides
Start with references/STYLEGUIDE.md for all docs. Then use the guide that matches the content:
- references/DOC.md - General docs that do not fit the categories below
- Choose the right guide for the file's content:
- references/GUIDE_QUICKSTART.md - Quickstarts that help readers get working fast with a specific library or framework - references/GUIDE_TUTORIAL.md - Tutorials that teach readers how to build something with Mastra - references/GUIDE_INTEGRATION.md - Integration guides for using Mastra with an external library or ecosystem - references/GUIDE_DEPLOYMENT.md - Deployment guides for shipping a Mastra app to a platform
- references/REFERENCE.md - Reference and API docs
Linting
Use these tools to keep docs consistent:
- prettier - Formats files and code blocks. This is the base linting layer.
- remark - Checks markdown issues like heading levels, list styles, and formatting consistency. This is the middle layer.
- vale - Checks grammar, style, and wording. This is the top layer.
Run these commands in docs/:
- npm run format - Format files with Prettier
- npm run lint:remark - Check markdown with Remark
- npm run lint:vale:ai - Check prose with Vale using the error alert level
