The lpd CLI is the single entry point for contributing to these docs. One Bash script (tools/lpd) wraps setup, environment checks, scoped Mintlify preview, staged tests, governed file moves, repair flows, and access to the 341 scripts under operations/scripts/. You do not need to install Mintlify or Node packages by hand.
This page is the public quickstart. For the full reference – every subcommand, every flag, JSON envelopes, and the script catalogue – see the canonical reference at docs-guide/tooling/lpd-cli.

Five-minute quickstart

1

Install and verify

2

Boot a scoped Mintlify preview

A filtered dev server against the 1,128-page nav boots in ~2 seconds instead of ~10 minutes for a cold full build. Tab names fuzzy-match (Orch, Resource, Gate).
3

Run the same checks CI runs

4

Move pages without breaking links

Rewrites every incoming reference, updates docs.json, regenerates affected catalogue.
5

Repair drift

Runs the deterministic remediator for a governed surface against staged files. Surfaces are listed in operations/governance/config/ownerless-governance-surfaces.json.

Subcommand summary

lpd ships 13 subcommands plus 5 group shorthands. Group shorthands route into operations/scripts/ subtrees: lpd tools, lpd tests, lpd v2, lpd workspace, lpd hooks.

Common workflows

The pre-commit hook runs MDX render checks, allowlist guards, redirect integrity, and no-deletion enforcement in under 60 seconds.

Scoped preview – why it matters

Mintlify cold-starts the full 1,128-page docs-v2 in roughly ten minutes. lpd dev --scoped --scope-tab <Tab> boots a filtered profile in ~2 seconds.
Alternate config loaders (docs-orch-work.json, docs-gate-work.json) drive themed scoped builds for cross-tab pipeline work.

Repair flows

Available surfaces live in operations/governance/config/ownerless-governance-surfaces.json. Each declares its validator, remediator, repair command, and gate layer.

Canonical CLI reference

Every subcommand, every flag, JSON envelopes, error codes, and the full script catalogue.

MDX preview extension

lpd-mdx-preview VS Code extension – render the full component library without running Mintlify.
