The Deck product is very new to me. Feels more like a solution for a product manager, instructing a team to build various features - or trying to build the same feature in different ways - simultaneously.

I think it's worth giving it a try.

Been hands-on with Verdent for a few weeks in early access.

Already smoother than I’ve had with Roo Code + Gemini/Claude.

Two highlights:

1️⃣ Better overall plan flow
2️⃣ Parallel agents + isolated git worktrees via desktop app

Access now open → www.verdent.ai

What other changes are you making to your docs to make them more accessible to LLMs and developers targeting their use?

Phil Leggetter @leggetter.co.uk · Aug 11

Should we have a dedicated llms.txt under /docs?

Our OpenAPI spec is pretty big, so should we create dedicated .md versions for each endpoint? Or do you think we should focus on improving the related product docs with more examples?

1. Copy for LLM: copies a markdown version of the current doc to the clipboard
2. View as Markdown: view any docs page as markdown with a ".md" extension
3. llms.txt at the root of the website: Covers docs and other content that sits outside of docs
