ShellDocs

The docs framework for .NET. Beautiful, animated, Cmd+K-searchable documentation sites. Powered by Blazor, styled with Tailwind-shaped design tokens, composable with any Blazor component library. The fumadocs / shadcn pattern, ported to .NET.

0.1.2-alpha on nuget.org. See CHANGELOG and ROADMAP. Docs at shelldocs.dev.

Quick start

# Install the CLI (once)
dotnet tool install -g ShellDocs.CLI --prerelease

# Scaffold a site (creates docs/MyDocs.Docs/)
shelldocs init MyDocs

# Add pages
shelldocs add component Button
shelldocs add guide getting-started

# Run with hot reload
cd docs/MyDocs.Docs
shelldocs dev

# Ship
shelldocs build --output publish

That's a working docs site. See shelldocs.dev/docs/getting-started/quick-start for the walkthrough.

What you get

  • Markdown-first authoring. YAML frontmatter, fenced code blocks with Shiki, live-rendered razor:preview examples, inline Razor component tags mid-prose.
  • Auto-wired navigation. File-based routing. Drop a .md in content/docs/ and it becomes a page. Sidebar, breadcrumb, prev/next, TOC — all derived from the tree.
  • Cmd+K search. Client-side substring scoring against title, description, section, and body text. Snippet extraction for body-only hits. Zero backend, zero external service.
  • Blazor-native. Components render as real Razor. Full JS interop, hot reload, all the tooling you already have.
  • Composable. Bring your own component library (ShellUI, MudBlazor, Radzen, hand-rolled). One-line assembly-scan registration:
    o.RegisterComponentsFromAssembly<MyLib.Button>();
    
  • Static site output. shelldocs build produces static HTML ready for GitHub Pages, Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, anywhere. Base-href rewrite + SPA 404 fallback included.

The alpha is API-fluid : we're taking freedom to break minor versions until 1.0. Bug reports and dogfood-driven fixes welcome via issues. A proper CONTRIBUTING.md lands with the 0.2.0-alpha cut.
