Working with agents
What an AI coding agent can read about Nextly today, what a scaffolded project tells its agent, and what does not exist yet.
Read the documentation as Markdown
Four surfaces answer an agent directly. Each is served by this site and derived from the same documentation source as the pages.
| Path | What it is | Answers |
|---|---|---|
/llms.txt | The index: every documentation page and blog post with a one-line description, in the llms.txt convention. | text/plain |
/llms-full.txt | The whole documentation as one Markdown document, in the order the navigation reads it. | text/plain |
/docs/<page>.md | Any documentation page as Markdown. The page's own URL answers the same way when asked with Accept: text/markdown. | text/markdown |
/docs | The documentation itself. Under every page title: Copy Markdown, and Open in ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor, which hands the assistant the page's Markdown twin. | text/html |
Inside a project
A project scaffolded with create-nextly-app ships AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, a guide for whatever agent opens the repository. It covers:
- where things are: the config, the collections, the admin, the migrations, the generated types
- the commands: dev, build, the migration scripts, types:generate
- how content is read, through the Direct API on the server, and why find() is loosely typed until types are generated
- the things that surprise people: users are not a collection, a migration is one file in the project's dialect, what a shared cache entry is safe for
The guide sits between managed markers that an upgrade may replace. Notes written above or below the markers are the project's own and are kept.
Read the template on GitHubWhich Nextly is this?
The documentation describes the current release and is not version-stamped. A project may run an older one, so ask it first.
npx nextly --versionThe current release is 0.0.2-alpha.62.
Not yet
As of Nextly 0.0.2-alpha.62.None of these exist today, so an agent should not be sent looking for them. When one of these ships it appears on the roadmap first.
MCP server
Reading a project's schema and content over the Model Context Protocol.
A Context7 index
The documentation in Context7's library index, for an agent that reads through it. The repository carries the configuration; the library is not registered yet.
AI in the editor
Generating or rewriting field content from the admin panel.
Agent panel
A place in the admin panel to hand work to an agent and review what it did.
