name	update-docs
description	Update OpenVINO GenAI site documentation for API or feature changes. Use when: new pipelines, models, or use-cases are introduced; site docs need to reflect new capabilities.
argument-hint	Description of what changed (e.g. 'added SpeculativeDecodingPipeline' or 'changed GenerationConfig fields')

Update Docs

Updates Docusaurus site pages under /site/docs/ after a code change.

When to Use

• New pipeline, model type, or use-case was introduced
• The supported-models table needs a new entry
• A new public API, config option, guide, or concept needs to be documented on the site

Inputs

The user must provide (or the agent infers from the diff):

• change_description: what was added or changed (e.g. "added VisualLanguageModelPipeline", "changed GenerationConfig.max_new_tokens default")

If the description is not provided, derive it from the git diff against master (see Step 1).

Procedure

Step 1: Identify Changed Files

Use the get_changed_files tool to list files changed relative to master. Focus on paths under src/cpp/include/, src/python/, src/js/lib/.

To understand what changed in each relevant file, prefer using appropriate tool calls over custom bash commands.

Step 2: Update Site Documentation

Decide which site sections need updating based on what changed:

Change type	Section to update
New pipeline / use-case	site/docs/use-cases/<category>/index.mdx
New model type supported	site/docs/supported-models/_components/
New public API or config option	Relevant guide in site/docs/guides/
New concept or algorithm	site/docs/concepts/
New or changed VLM prompt tag	Visual processing usage options

Rules:

• MDX format; match surrounding file structure.
• Code snippets must have both C++ and Python tabs (see existing index.mdx in use-cases for the tab component pattern).
• Code snippets must have JavaScript tab if NodeJS API changed.
• Do not invent model names, benchmark numbers, or unverified capabilities.
• Cross-link to related pages using relative links (e.g., [Supported Models](/docs/supported-models/)).
• For VLM prompt tags, update the native image and video tag lists in site/docs/use-cases/visual-processing/_sections/_usage_options/index.mdx, verify each tag against the model's prompt normalization implementation or tokenizer configuration.

Rules for models.ts entries:

• Architecture (optional): verify the architecture value against the model's config.json ("architectures" field) or HuggingFace model card. Do not guess from the model name.
• Name: use the existing models.ts as the source of truth for naming style. The name is usually the marketing / family name grouping related versions under one entry (e.g. name: 'Phi3' covers Phi-3, Phi-3.5, Phi-4). Strip organisation prefixes and per-size suffixes (-7B, -Instruct), but preserve hyphens and version numbers when the existing table uses them (e.g. Qwen2.5, Phi-3.5-MoE).
• Order: insert new entries in alphabetical order by architecture.

Step 3: Lint and Build

From the site/ directory, run lint and then a production build to catch any errors:

cd site
npm run lint:fix
npm run build

Fix any errors reported before proceeding. Do not skip this step — a passing build confirms MDX syntax, broken imports, and broken internal links are all resolved.

Step 4: Verify Completeness

Run the following checklist before declaring the documentation update done:

• Site docs cover the new capability (use-case page, guide, or model table entry).
• npm run lint:fix passes with no errors.
• npm run build completes successfully.

Step 5: Report

Summarize to the user:

• Files changed and what was added/updated in each.
• Any gaps where documentation could not be written because implementation details are unclear — list those explicitly and ask the user to clarify.
