satware.ai Website

A modern, responsive documentation website for satware.ai, built with MkDocs and the beautiful Material for MkDocs theme. This repository serves as the source for the static website deployed to GitHub Pages.

✨ Features

• Clean & Responsive Design: Powered by Material for MkDocs, ensuring a great experience on any device.
• Easy Documentation: Write content in Markdown, and MkDocs handles the rest.
• Local Development with Docker: Simple setup for local development with live-reloading.
• Automated Deployment: Seamless deployment to GitHub Pages via GitHub Actions.

🚀 Getting Started

Local Development

Developing locally is streamlined using Docker, which encapsulates all necessary dependencies.

Prerequisites:

• Docker installed and running on your system.

Steps:

1. Fork the original repository: Fork the satwareAG/satware.ai repository to your GitHub account.

2. Clone your fork:

   git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/satware.ai.git
   cd satware.ai
   

   (Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your GitHub username.)

3. Start the development server:

   ./mkdocs.sh
   

   This command will build the Docker image (if not already built) and start a local development server. The website will be accessible at http://localhost:8000. Any changes you make to the documentation files (docs/) will automatically trigger a live reload in your browser.

📁 Internal Documentation Policy

⚠️ CRITICAL: All internal documentation MUST be placed in docs/internal/

The docs/internal/ directory is automatically excluded from the published website via the mkdocs-exclude plugin configured in mkdocs.yml. This ensures that internal development notes, analysis documents, and sensitive information are never published to satware.ai.

Rules:

• ✅ DO: Place all internal docs in docs/internal/
• ✅ DO: Use descriptive filenames (e.g., dev-ci-parity-analysis.md, architecture-notes.md)
• ❌ DON'T: Place internal docs anywhere else in docs/
• ❌ DON'T: Commit sensitive information even to docs/internal/

Verification:

# Test locally before pushing
./mkdocs.sh
# Navigate to http://localhost:8000
# Verify internal docs are NOT listed in navigation or search

What belongs in docs/internal/:

• Development analysis and planning documents
• Architecture decision records (internal)
• CI/CD configuration notes
• Testing strategies and results
• Migration guides (internal)
• Any documentation NOT intended for public consumption

Enforcement: The .clinerules/satware-ai-dev.md file contains MANDATORY rules for AI assistants working on this project to enforce this policy automatically.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• Static Site Generator: MkDocs
• Theme: Material for MkDocs (v9.6.14)
• Containerization: Docker
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions
• Styling: SCSS (Sass) with pysassc
• Language: Python (v3.13-slim-bullseye in Docker)
• SCSS Watcher: Custom Python script (scss_watcher.py)

🌐 Deployment

The satware.ai website is automatically deployed to GitHub Pages.

Workflow for your fork (for testing/preview):

1. Push to your fork: When you push changes to your fork (https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/satware.ai), specifically to the main-mkdocs branch.
2. GitHub Pages Setup: Ensure GitHub Pages is enabled for your fork, building from the gh-pages branch.
3. GitHub Actions Trigger: A GitHub Actions workflow (ci.yml) is triggered.
4. Build & Deploy: This workflow builds the static website using MkDocs and deploys it to the gh-pages branch of your fork.
5. Live Website: The static website becomes available at https://YOUR_USERNAME.github.io/satware.ai/.

Workflow for the main repository (live site):

• Changes merged into the main-mkdocs branch of the original satwareAG/satware.ai repository will trigger the live site deployment to https://satware.ai/.

❓ Troubleshooting

• SCSS Changes Not Reflecting: Ensure the scss_watcher.py is running correctly within your Docker container. Check the Docker logs for any errors during SCSS compilation. The scss_watcher.py monitors overrides/assets/css/custom.scss and compiles it to docs/assets/css/custom.css.
• Docker Issues: If you encounter issues with the ./mkdocs.sh script, verify that Docker is running and that you have the necessary permissions.
