Getting Started with CiteMap

CiteMap is a documentation engine that transforms your human-readable docs into machine-readable "Answer Surfaces".

Why CiteMap?

AI Agents struggle with HTML noise (navbars, footers, complex layouts). CiteMap strips this away and creates a high-density Markdown representation of your documentation, optimized for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).

Quick Start

  1. Install the CLI: 
    npm install -g citemap
  2. Initialize: 
    citemap init
  3. Generate Surface: 
    citemap generate

Core Concepts

  • Manifest: The JSON map of all your documentation intents.
  • Answer Surface: A highly condensed markdown file for a specific topic.
  • Protocol: Specifically standardizing on /llms.txt to guide agents.
