name: quartz-docs-navigator description: | Navigate Quartz v4 documentation to answer implementation questions. Use when user asks about: (1) Adding or configuring Quartz features (backlinks, RSS, search, images, etc.) (2) Modifying UI components or layout (3) Understanding plugins or transformers (4) Deployment and build configuration (5) Custom component development Triggers: "how do I", "add", "enable", "configure", "modify" + Quartz features

Quartz Documentation Navigator

Find the right Quartz docs to answer implementation questions.

Quick Reference

First, load the docs map: Read references/docs_structure.md for comprehensive overview.

Navigation Strategy

For Feature Questions

Pattern: "How do I add/enable [feature]?"

1. Check references/docs_structure.md for the feature
2. Read the corresponding docs/features/[feature].md
3. Check docs/configuration.md for enabling the feature

Examples:

• "How do I add backlinks?" → docs/features/backlinks.md
• "How do I add an RSS feed?" → docs/features/RSS Feed.md
• "How do I enable dark mode?" → docs/features/darkmode.md

For Layout/Component Questions

Pattern: "How do I modify/customize [UI element]?"

1. Check docs/layout.md for page structure
2. Check docs/layout-components.md for available components
3. For custom components: docs/advanced/creating components.md

Examples:

• "How do I change the sidebar?" → docs/layout.md
• "How do I add a custom header?" → docs/advanced/creating components.md

For Content Authoring Questions

Pattern: "How do I add/format [content]?"

1. Check docs/authoring content.md
2. For specific syntax: docs/features/[feature].md

Examples:

• "How do I add images?" → docs/authoring content.md
• "How do I use callouts?" → docs/features/callouts.md
• "How do I add LaTeX?" → docs/features/Latex.md

For Plugin Questions

Pattern: "How does [plugin] work?" or "How to configure [plugin]?"

1. Check docs/plugins/[Plugin].md
2. For custom plugins: docs/advanced/making plugins.md

Examples:

• "How does ExplicitPublish work?" → docs/plugins/ExplicitPublish.md
• "How to create a custom plugin?" → docs/advanced/making plugins.md

For Build/Deploy Questions

1. Build process: docs/build.md
2. Deployment: docs/hosting.md
3. Configuration: docs/configuration.md

Common Questions → Docs Mapping

Workflow

1. Understand the question - What is the user trying to implement?
2. Consult docs map - Read references/docs_structure.md to find relevant docs
3. Read primary doc - Load and read the most relevant doc file
4. Read supporting docs - If needed, check related docs for configuration/setup
5. Provide answer - Synthesize information with code examples if available

Important Notes

• Docs are in the docs/ directory of the Quartz repo
• Features require configuration in quartz.config.ts
• Layout changes happen in quartz.layout.ts
• Most features are opt-in via configuration
• For code examples, prefer reading the actual doc files over invention
