+
+Instructions for AI coding agents working with this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This is the documentation site for **Kubedoop Data Platform** (https://kubedoop.dev),
+built with [Docusaurus 3](https://docusaurus.io/). The site is deployed to GitHub
+Pages and supports both English and Chinese (zh-Hans).
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- **Framework**: Docusaurus 3.10 (React 19, TypeScript 5.8)
+- **Package Manager**: npm
+- **Deployment**: GitHub Pages (`gh-pages` branch)
+
+## Repository Structure
+
+```
+docs/                  # English documentation source
+i18n/zh/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/  # Chinese documentation source
+src/                   # React components and custom CSS
+docusaurus.config.ts   # Site configuration (navbar, footer, i18n, plugins)
+sidebars.ts            # Sidebar navigation structure
+static/                # Static assets (images, favicons)
+```
+
+## Common Commands
+
+```bash
+npm install            # Install dependencies
+npm run build          # Production build (en + zh-Hans)
+npm start              # Local dev server with hot reload
+npm run typecheck      # TypeScript type checking (npx tsc --noEmit)
+```
+
+## Development Rules
+
+### Before Submitting a PR
+
+1. Run `npm run build` and ensure it succeeds for both locales
+2. Run `npx tsc --noEmit` and ensure no TypeScript errors
+3. Check for markdown lint issues — no line should exceed 200 characters
+4. Verify new pages appear correctly in the sidebar (`sidebars.ts`)
+
+### Adding Documentation
+
+- **English docs**: place in `docs/` directory
+- **Chinese docs**: place in `i18n/zh/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/`
+- Filenames use kebab-case (e.g., `service-discovery.md`)
+- After adding Chinese docs, run `npm run write-translations --locale zh`
+
+### Sidebar Updates
+
+All sidebar navigation is defined in `sidebars.ts`. New documentation pages
+must be added to the appropriate category in this file to appear in the nav.
+
+### i18n Notes
+
+- Default locale: `en`
+- Second locale: `zh-Hans` (BCP 47 compliant)
+- Locale configs are in `docusaurus.config.ts` under `i18n.localeConfigs`
+- Do NOT use `zh` as a locale key — use `zh-Hans` (Docusaurus 3.10+ requirement)
+
+### Markdown Rules
+
+- Max line length: 200 characters
+- Use fenced code blocks with language hints (`yaml`, `bash`, `typescript`)
+- For Mermaid diagrams, use fenced blocks with `mermaid` language hint
+- Prefer relative links for internal references (`../core-concepts/...`)
+
+### Operator Documentation Template
+
+When creating documentation for a new Operator, use the template at
+`docs/operators/_template.md` as a starting point. The template defines
+the standard sections: Overview, Prerequisites, Quick Start, Configuration,
+Advanced, Troubleshooting, Clean Up, Related Links.
+
+## Commit Message Conventions
+
+Follow [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/):
+
+```
+<type>(<scope>): <subject>
+```
+
+Types: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `style`, `refactor`, `test`, `chore`
+
+Example: `docs(operators): add kafka-operator documentation`
+
+## CI Checks
+
+This repository runs the following GitHub Actions on every PR:
+
+- **Markdown Lint** — line length, formatting rules
+- **TypeScript Lint** — type checking for `.ts`/`.tsx` files
+- **Deploy to GitHub Pages** — only runs on main branch after merge
+
+All checks must pass before a PR can be merged.
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+All contributions follow a fork-based workflow with Git Worktree for parallel
+task development.
+
+### Git Setup
+
+```bash
+# Fork zncdatadev/docs to your personal account
+# Clone and configure remotes
+git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/docs.git
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/zncdatadev/docs.git
+```
+
+### Workflow Steps
+
+1. **Sync upstream**: `git pull --rebase upstream main`
+2. **Create branch**: use naming convention `<type>/<short-description>`
+3. **Create worktree**: `git worktree add ../docs-<task> -b <branch-name>`
+4. **Develop and verify** in the worktree (run `npm run build`)
+5. **Push to fork**: `git push origin <branch-name>`
+6. **Open PR** against `zncdatadev/docs` main branch
+7. **Ensure all CI checks pass** (Markdown Lint, TypeScript Lint)
+8. **Code Review**: at least 1 reviewer approval required
+9. **Clean up** after merge: remove worktree and delete branch
+
+### Branch Naming
+
+| Type | Format | Example |
+|------|--------|--------|
+| New feature | `feature/<scope>-<desc>` | `feature/kafka-rebalance` |
+| Bug fix | `fix/<scope>-<desc>` | `fix/hdfs-memory-leak` |
+| Documentation | `docs/<desc>` | `docs/add-trino-operator` |
+| Refactor | `refactor/<scope>-<desc>` | `refactor/operator-go-api` |
+| Dependency | `chore/<desc>` | `chore/upgrade-k8s-0.36` |
+
+### Worktree Conventions
+
+- Each task gets its own worktree: `docs-<task-short-name>`
+- Multiple worktrees can run in parallel for the same repo
+- Clean up after merge: `git worktree remove <path>`
+
