Docs contributor guide
The docs/ directory is published at docs.crewai.com
by Mintlify. Mintlify watches docs/docs.json
and the MDX files referenced from it.
TL;DR for editing docs
- Edit MDX under
docs/edge/<lang>/...(e.g.docs/edge/en/concepts/agents.mdx). - Your change ships under the Edge version selector the moment it merges
to
main. Edge followsmainand is the channel for unreleased work. - On release cut, the current Edge state is frozen into
docs/v<X.Y.Z>/and that snapshot becomes the new default version in the selector (tag:Latest). Canonical URLs (/<lang>/...) auto-redirect to the new default. - Never modify files under
docs/v*/. Those are frozen release snapshots and thedocs-snapshotsCI guard rejects writes. The only exception is a release-cut PR (auto-generated bydevtools releaseor the manualscripts/docs/freeze_current_edge.pywrapper), which uses a[docs-freeze]title prefix to opt out. - Never delete or rename files under
docs/images/. Images are append-only. See Images below.
The version model
The site has one rolling channel (Edge) plus one frozen snapshot per release.
docs/
edge/ <-- Edge sources (you edit here)
en/...
pt-BR/ ko/ ar/
enterprise-api.*.yaml
v1.14.7/ <-- frozen snapshot of v1.14.7
en/...
pt-BR/ ko/ ar/
enterprise-api.*.yaml
v1.14.6/...
...
images/ <-- shared, append-only
docs.json <-- Mintlify config: navigation + redirects
docs/docs.json lists one navigation block per version per language. Edge
points at docs/edge/<lang>/...; every other version points at its own
docs/v<X.Y.Z>/<lang>/... subtree. Mintlify scopes both the sidebar and the
in-site search to whichever version the reader selects, so picking
v1.10.0 genuinely shows the v1.10.0 docs (and only those).
URLs and canonical redirects
Each Mintlify version corresponds to its own URL prefix:
- Edge:
/edge/<lang>/<page>(e.g./edge/en/concepts/agents) - Frozen:
/v<X.Y.Z>/<lang>/<page>(e.g./v1.14.7/en/concepts/agents)
External links to the old, unversioned /<lang>/<page> URLs would 404 under
this layout. To keep them working, docs.json ships wildcard redirects:
{ "source": "/en/:slug*", "destination": "/v1.14.7/en/:slug*", "permanent": false }
The release-cut step rewrites the destination on every release so canonical
/<lang>/... URLs always resolve to the latest stable docs.
Lifecycle
- During development. You add or edit pages under
docs/edge/<lang>/...in normal PRs. They land in Edge as soon as the PR merges. Both/edge/<lang>/<page>and the version selector'sEdgeentry reflect the change immediately. - Release cut. The release engineer runs
devtools release X.Y.Z. As part of that flow the CLI opens a[docs-freeze]PR that copies Edge intodocs/v<X.Y.Z>/, rewrites internal OpenAPI references, updatesdocs/docs.jsonto makev<X.Y.Z>the new default +Latest, and rewires the canonical-URL redirects to the new default. The PR must merge before the tag and PyPI publish run. - After release. Edge keeps rolling. Patch fixes to the just-released docs go into Edge and ship with the next release. We do not back-edit frozen snapshots.
See RELEASING.md for the full release runbook.
Images
Snapshots share a single docs/images/ directory. If an image is deleted
or renamed, every frozen snapshot that referenced it breaks. So the rule
is:
- Adding new images is always fine.
- Deleting or renaming an existing image fails CI unless the PR is a
[docs-freeze]release-cut PR. - If an asset is wrong, add a new file with a new name and reference the
new name in the Edge MDX (
docs/edge/<lang>/...). Leave the old file alone.
Local preview
Install the Mintlify CLI and run from docs/:
npm i -g mintlify
mintlify dev
Use the version selector at the top of the rendered page to switch between Edge and frozen versions.
To check links across every version:
mintlify broken-links
CI runs the broken-links check on every PR that touches docs/** via
.github/workflows/docs-broken-links.yml.
Scripts
scripts/docs/freeze_historical_versions.py— one-time migration that reconstructeddocs/v1.10.0/throughdocs/v1.14.7/from git tags. You should not need to run this again.scripts/docs/prefix_version_paths.py— one-time migration that switcheddocs/docs.jsonto directory-based versioning, inserted Edge, and added the canonical-URL redirects. You should not need to run this again.scripts/docs/freeze_current_edge.py— thin CLI wrapper aroundcrewai_devtools.docs_versioning.freeze.devtools releasecalls the same module during its docs PR step; this script is the manual escape hatch (e.g. retroactively freezing a forgotten release).
CI guards

Both checks accept the[docs-freeze]PR-title escape hatch..github/workflows/docs-broken-links.ymlrunsmintlify broken-linksagainst the whole site, so adding a new page or moving a snapshot file that breaks a link will fail CI.
