Regenerating Documents#

Documents can be regenerated anytime:

1# Regenerate all documents 2bootspring preseed sync 3 4# Regenerate a specific document 5bootspring preseed generate --doc=prd 6bootspring preseed generate --doc=vision

Regeneration:

  • Reads the latest PRESEED_CONFIG.json
  • Applies the document template
  • Overwrites existing files
  • Preserves formatting

Document Format#

All generated documents follow consistent formatting:

  • Markdown format for universal compatibility
  • Structured headings (H1, H2, H3 hierarchy)
  • Tables for data comparison
  • Code blocks for examples
  • Bullet lists for enumeration
  • Git-friendly line lengths and formatting

Customization#

While documents are generated from templates, you can:

Edit the Config#

# Update a value bootspring preseed update identity.name "NewName" # Then regenerate bootspring preseed sync

Edit Documents Directly#

Documents can be edited directly, but edits will be lost on regeneration. For persistent changes, update the config instead.

Add Custom Sections#

After generation, you can add sections to documents. Mark them clearly so you know what to preserve:

## Custom Section (Manual) This section was added manually and should be preserved.

Export Configuration#

Export your preseed configuration for backup or sharing:

1# Export as JSON 2bootspring preseed export 3 4# Export as YAML 5bootspring preseed export --format=yaml 6 7# Export to file 8bootspring preseed export --output=preseed-backup.json

What Happens Next#

After document generation:

  1. Review all documents - Read through each generated file
  2. Identify gaps - Note anything missing or incorrect
  3. Move to Phase 3 - Refinement to improve documents
# Check what was generated bootspring preseed status # View a document cat .bootspring/preseed/VISION.md
