Documentation
This skill covers updating documentation for the B2C CLI project.
Documentation Structure
The project has three types of documentation:
docs/
├── guide/ # User guides (manually written)
│ ├── index.md
│ ├── installation.md
│ ├── authentication.md
│ └── configuration.md
├── cli/ # CLI reference (manually written)
│ ├── index.md
│ ├── code.md
│ ├── webdav.md
│ ├── jobs.md
│ └── ...
├── api/ # API reference (auto-generated)
│ └── *.md
└── .vitepress/ # Vitepress configuration
└── config.mts
Documentation Types
1. User Guides (docs/guide/)
Purpose: Help users get started and understand concepts.
When to update:
- New features that need explanation
- Changes to installation or setup process
- New authentication methods
- Configuration changes
Example structure:
# Getting Started
Introduction to the topic.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 22+
- pnpm
## Installation
\`\`\`bash
pnpm install -g @salesforce/b2c-cli
\`\`\`
## Next Steps
- [Authentication](./authentication.md)
- [Configuration](./configuration.md)
2. CLI Reference (docs/cli/)
Purpose: Document command syntax, flags, and usage examples.
When to update:
- New commands added
- Flags added, removed, or changed
- Command behavior changes
- New examples needed
Structure per command topic:
# Code Commands
Commands for managing code versions and cartridge deployment.
## b2c code deploy
Deploy cartridges to a B2C Commerce instance.
### Usage
\`\`\`bash
b2c code deploy [PATH] [FLAGS]
\`\`\`
### Arguments
| Argument | Description | Required | Default |
|----------|-------------|----------|---------|
| PATH | Path to cartridges directory | No | . |
### Flags
| Flag | Short | Description | Default |
|------|-------|-------------|---------|
| --server | -s | Instance hostname | - |
| --code-version | -v | Code version name | - |
| --cartridge | -c | Include specific cartridges | - |
| --exclude-cartridge | -x | Exclude cartridges | - |
### Examples
\`\`\`bash
# Deploy all cartridges in current directory
b2c code deploy --server dev01.example.com --code-version v1
# Deploy specific cartridges
b2c code deploy ./cartridges -c app_storefront -c app_custom
# Deploy excluding certain cartridges
b2c code deploy -x test_cartridge -x bm_extensions
\`\`\`
### Authentication
Requires WebDAV credentials (username/password) or OAuth.
3. API Reference (docs/api/)
Purpose: Document the SDK programmatic API.
This is auto-generated from TypeScript JSDoc comments using TypeDoc.
Never edit files in docs/api/ directly. Instead:
- Update JSDoc comments in SDK source files
- Run
pnpm run docs:apito regenerate
Writing JSDoc for API Docs
Module-Level Documentation
Add to barrel files (index.ts):
/**
* Authentication strategies for B2C Commerce APIs.
*
* This module provides various authentication mechanisms:
* - OAuth 2.0 client credentials
* - Basic authentication
* - API key authentication
*
* @example
* ```typescript
* import { OAuthStrategy } from '@salesforce/b2c-tooling-sdk/auth';
*
* const auth = new OAuthStrategy({
* clientId: 'my-client',
* clientSecret: 'my-secret',
* });
* ```
*
* @module auth
*/
Class Documentation
/**
* Client for WebDAV file operations on B2C Commerce instances.
*
* Supports uploading, downloading, and managing files in various
* WebDAV roots (Cartridges, IMPEX, Logs, etc.).
*
* @example
* ```typescript
* const client = new WebDavClient(hostname, auth);
* await client.put('Cartridges/v1/app_custom/file.js', content);
* ```
*/
export class WebDavClient {
/**
* Creates a new WebDAV client.
*
* @param hostname - The B2C Commerce instance hostname
* @param auth - Authentication strategy to use
*/
constructor(hostname: string, auth: AuthStrategy) {}
}
Function Documentation
/**
* Deploys cartridges to a B2C Commerce instance.
*
* Discovers cartridges in the specified path, creates a ZIP archive,
* and uploads via WebDAV.
*
* @param instance - The B2C instance to deploy to
* @param cartridgePath - Path containing cartridge directories
* @param options - Deployment options
* @returns Deployment result with uploaded cartridges
*
* @example
* ```typescript
* const result = await deployCartridges(instance, './cartridges', {
* include: ['app_storefront'],
* });
* console.log(result.cartridges);
* ```
*
* @throws {DeploymentError} If deployment fails
*/
export async function deployCartridges(
instance: B2CInstance,
cartridgePath: string,
options?: DeployOptions
): Promise<DeployResult> {}
Type Documentation
/**
* Configuration for OAuth authentication.
*/
export interface OAuthConfig {
/** OAuth client ID */
clientId: string;
/** OAuth client secret */
clientSecret: string;
/** OAuth scopes to request */
scopes?: string[];
}
Building Documentation
# Generate API docs from JSDoc
pnpm run docs:api
# Start dev server (includes API generation)
pnpm run docs:dev
# Build static site
pnpm run docs:build
# Preview built site
pnpm run docs:preview
TypeDoc Configuration
Located in typedoc.json:
{
"entryPoints": [
"packages/b2c-tooling-sdk/src/auth/index.ts",
"packages/b2c-tooling-sdk/src/clients/index.ts",
"packages/b2c-tooling-sdk/src/operations/code/index.ts"
],
"out": "docs/api",
"plugin": [
"typedoc-plugin-markdown",
"typedoc-vitepress-theme"
],
"exclude": ["**/*.generated.ts"]
}
When adding new SDK modules, add their barrel file to entryPoints.
Vitepress Configuration
Located in docs/.vitepress/config.mts:
export default defineConfig({
title: 'B2C CLI',
base: '/b2c-developer-tooling/',
themeConfig: {
nav: [
{ text: 'Guide', link: '/guide/' },
{ text: 'CLI Reference', link: '/cli/' },
{ text: 'API Reference', link: '/api/' },
],
sidebar: {
'/guide/': [
{
text: 'Getting Started',
items: [
{ text: 'Installation', link: '/guide/installation' },
{ text: 'Authentication', link: '/guide/authentication' },
],
},
],
'/cli/': [
{
text: 'Commands',
items: [
{ text: 'code', link: '/cli/code' },
{ text: 'webdav', link: '/cli/webdav' },
],
},
],
},
},
});
When adding new CLI commands or guide pages, update the sidebar config.
Claude Code Skills (Plugin)
The plugins/b2c-cli/skills/ directory contains skills that teach Claude about using the CLI commands. These are distributed via the plugin.
When to update:
- New CLI commands added
- Existing commands changed
- New usage patterns

- Update
docs/cli/<topic>.mdwith command documentation - Update
docs/.vitepress/config.mtssidebar if new topic - Update
plugins/b2c-cli/skills/b2c-<topic>/SKILL.mdwith examples

- Write JSDoc for all public classes, functions, types
- Add entry point to

pnpm run docs:apito regenerate
When Changing CLI Behavior
- Update affected examples in
docs/cli/*.md - Update affected examples in

Sidebar:
- Contextual based on section
- API reference sidebar auto-generated from TypeDoc
Style Guidelines
- Use code blocks with language hints (
bash,typescript) - Include practical examples for every command/function
- Keep flag tables consistent across command docs
- Use relative links for internal references
- Avoid emojis unless specifically requested
