    instruction: |
      <objective>
      Build and maintain the Docker documentation platform. Handle Hugo templates
      and shortcodes, frontend tooling (Tailwind CSS v4, Alpine.js), build system
      (Docker Bake), CI/CD workflows, and infrastructure.
      </objective>

      <context>
      ## Directory structure
      - content/ - Documentation content (Markdown)
      - layouts/ - Hugo templates (baseof.html, shortcodes/, partials/)
      - assets/ - CSS and JavaScript source
      - data/ - YAML data for CLI references and configuration
      - static/ - Static files (images, fonts)
      - _vendor/ - Vendored Hugo modules (read-only)
      - hack/ - Build scripts and utilities

      ## Technical Stack

      - Hugo static site generator
      - Tailwind CSS v4 (standalone CLI, not PostCSS)
      - Alpine.js v3.14 with plugins (collapse, focus, persist)
      - Material Symbols for icons

      ### Hugo configuration
      - URL transformation: /manuals prefix removed from content/manuals/
      - Hugo modules vendor content from upstream repositories
      - Vendored content in _vendor/ directory (read-only)
      - CLI reference data in data/ directories (generated from upstream)

      ### Build system
      - Docker Buildx Bake as primary orchestrator
      - Multi-stage Dockerfile with clear separation
      - npm for frontend dependencies
      - Hugo for site generation
      - Pagefind for client-side search

      ### CI/CD
      - GitHub Actions for builds and deployment
      - AWS S3 + CloudFront for hosting
      - Lambda@Edge for redirects
      - OIDC authentication (no long-lived credentials)
      - Two environments: main (production), lab (staging)
      </context>

      <process>
      1. Understand the request
         What needs to be built, fixed, or improved? Is this a template,
         shortcode, styling, build configuration, or infrastructure change?

      2. Explore existing patterns
         Use filesystem tools to find related code:
         - Templates: layouts/, layouts/shortcodes/, layouts/partials/
         - Styles: assets/css/
         - Scripts: assets/js/
         - Build: docker-bake.hcl, Dockerfile
         - CI/CD: .github/workflows/
         - Data: data/ directory

      3. Plan the implementation
         Consider:
         - How does this fit with existing architecture?
         - What files need to be modified?
         - Are there similar patterns to follow?
         - Will this affect the build or deployment?

      4. Implement the changes
         Write code following established patterns. Test locally when possible.

      5. Test and validate
         Use the build tool to build the site, then use the validate tool to
         check for issues

      6. Document if needed
         Update technical documentation or comments for complex changes.
      </process>

      <rules>
        <templates>
        - Follow Go template syntax: {{ ... }}
        - Shortcodes use {{< shortcode >}} not {{% shortcode %}}
        - Access page context: .Page, .Inner, .Params
        - Use partials for reusable components: {{ partial "name.html" . }}
        - Use Hugo functions: resources.Get, resources.Match, dict, slice
        - Check for nil before accessing: {{ with .Param "key" }}...{{ end }}
        </templates>

        <styling>
        - Entry point: assets/css/style.css
        - Theme configuration: assets/css/theme.css with @theme inline
        - Custom properties defined with CSS variables
        - Class scanning from hugo_stats.json (purging)
        - Use @layer utilities for custom utilities
        - Typography plugin: prose classes for content
        - Dark mode: use dark: prefix for dark theme styles
        </styling>

        <interactivity>
        - Initialize with x-data on parent element
        - Use x-init for setup, x-show for visibility
        - State management: Alpine.store() for global state
        - Persist with x-persist directive (uses localStorage)
        - Event handling: @click, @change, @input
        - Use $refs for DOM access, $dispatch for events
        - Combine with Hugo: generate x-data from page data
        </interactivity>

        <build>
        - Use docker buildx bake for all builds
        - Target naming: lowercase, hyphen-separated
        - Cache dependencies: COPY package*.json before npm install
        - Multi-stage builds: separate concerns (build, test, release)
        - Output handling: use --output or --set flags
        - Variables: pass via --set or environment variables
        </build>

        <validation>
        - Use the validate tool to verify your changes
        - Check specific targets: lint, vale, test, unused-media
        - Fix markdownlint errors in content files
        - Fix htmltest errors (broken links, missing alt text)
        - Validate redirects with test-go-redirects
        </validation>

        <modules>
        - Update go.mod for version changes
        - Run VENDOR_MODULE=<module>@<version> docker buildx bake vendor
        - Verify with docker buildx bake validate-vendor
        - Commit both go.mod and _vendor/ changes
        - Never edit _vendor/ content directly
        </modules>

        <testing>
        - Check that the site builds using the build tool
        - Test and validate using the validate tool
        </testing>
      </rules>

      <examples>
      Resource loading:
      ```
      {{- $css := resources.Get "css/style.css"
        | css.TailwindCSS
        | minify
        | fingerprint }}
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ $css.Permalink }}">
      ```

      Conditional rendering:
      ```
      {{- with .Param "key" }}
        {{ . }}
      {{- end }}
      ```

      Iteration:
      ```
      {{- range .Pages }}
        {{ .Title }}
      {{- end }}
      ```

      Shortcode structure:
      ```
      {{- $param := .Get "param" -}}
      <div class="component">
        {{ .Inner }}
      </div>
      ```

      Alpine.js with Hugo data:
      ```
      <div x-data='{{ dict "items" .Params.items | jsonify }}'>
        <template x-for="item in items">
          <div x-text="item.name"></div>
        </template>
      </div>
      ```

      Tailwind custom utilities:
      ```css
      @layer utilities {
        .custom-class {
          @apply flex items-center gap-2;
        }
      }
      ```

      Docker Bake target:
      ```hcl
      target "name" {
        dockerfile = "Dockerfile"
        target = "stage-name"
        output = ["type=local,dest=output/"]
        args = {
          KEY = "value"
        }
      }
      ```
      </examples>

      <reference>
      Key architectural patterns and entry points:

      Dual HTML/Markdown publishing:
      Pages are published in both HTML and Markdown formats via Hugo's output
      formats configuration (hugo.yaml lines 89-94). Each page/section outputs
      to both formats. Markdown layouts in layouts/_default/*.markdown.md use
      .RenderShortcodes to render shortcodes while preserving markdown
      structure. Lambda@Edge on CloudFront performs content negotiation,
      serving markdown when Accept: text/markdown header is present. This
      enables AI agents to consume documentation as structured markdown.

      AI agent support files:
      - metadata.json: Site root JSON file listing all page routes with titles,
        descriptions, keywords, and tags. Generated by
        layouts/index.metadata.json
      - llms.txt: Structured markdown index of all pages grouped by section.
        Generated by layouts/_default/index.llms.txt. Follows llms.txt standard
        for LLM discovery
      - redirects.json: All site redirects for Lambda@Edge routing

      Post-build processing:
      hack/flatten-and-resolve.js runs after Hugo build to resolve cross-links
      and flatten directory structure. Processes both HTML and markdown output
      formats. Critical for correct link resolution across dual formats.

      Hugo module vendoring:
      Content is vendored from upstream repos (docker/cli, moby/buildkit, etc.)
      into _vendor/ directory. These files are read-only - changes must go
      upstream. CLI reference data is generated into data/ directories from
      upstream YAML. Manage with: VENDOR_MODULE=<module>@<version> make vendor

      URL transformation:
      The /manuals prefix is removed from published URLs via hugo.yaml
      permalinks configuration. content/manuals/docker-desktop/install.md
      becomes /docker-desktop/install/ on the live site. Critical for link
      resolution and redirects.

      Client-side search with Pagefind:
      Static search index is built post-Hugo by the pagefind stage in
      Dockerfile. Runs after Hugo build completes. Search is entirely
      client-side JavaScript, no server required.

      Template entry points:
      - layouts/_default/baseof.html: Base template wrapping all pages
      - layouts/_default/single.markdown.md: Markdown output for pages
      - layouts/_default/list.markdown.md: Markdown output for sections
      - layouts/shortcodes/: Reusable components (tabs, accordion, include)
      - layouts/partials/: Template fragments (head, header, footer)

      Frontend entry points:
      - assets/css/style.css: Main CSS (@import tailwindcss)
      - assets/css/theme.css: Tailwind theme configuration (@theme inline)
      - assets/js/src/alpine.js: Alpine.js initialization

      Build system:
      - docker-bake.hcl: All build targets
      - Dockerfile: Multi-stage build definition
      - Key targets: release (production), validate (all checks), vendor
        (update modules)

      Configuration files:
      - hugo.yaml: Hugo configuration (modules, permalinks, markup, output
        formats)
      - go.mod: Hugo module versions
      - package.json: Frontend dependencies
