Configuration

Customize your Geistdocs site without modifying source files

While Geistdocs is fully open source, composable and copy-pasteable, it's preferable to customize your site without modifying the source code. This makes it easier to update Geistdocs in the future while preserving your customizations.

To enable this, Geistdocs uses a root-level configuration file that lets you customize your documentation site without touching the source code.

Configuration File

The geistdocs.tsx file in your project root contains all customization options:

geistdocs.tsx
import { BookHeartIcon } from "lucide-react";

export const Logo = () => (
  <div className="flex items-center gap-2">
    <BookHeartIcon className="size-5" />
    <p className="font-semibold text-xl tracking-tight">Geistdocs</p>
  </div>
);

export const nav = [
  {
    label: "Docs",
    href: "/docs",
  },
];

export const suggestions = [
  "What is Vercel?",
  "What can I deploy with Vercel?",
  "What is Fluid Compute?",
  "How much does Vercel cost?",
];

export const title = "Geistdocs Documentation";

export const prompt =
  "You are a helpful assistant specializing in answering questions about Geistdocs, a modern documentation template built with Next.js and Fumadocs.";

Configuration Options

Customize the logo component displayed in your site header:

geistdocs.tsx
export const Logo = () => (
  <div className="flex items-center gap-2">
    <YourIcon className="size-5" />
    <p className="font-semibold text-xl tracking-tight">Your Brand</p>
  </div>
);

Define navigation links shown in the header:

geistdocs.tsx
export const nav = [
  {
    label: "Documentation",
    href: "/docs",
  },
  {
    label: "API Reference",
    href: "/api",
  },
  {
    label: "GitHub",
    href: "https://github.com/your-org/your-repo",
  },
];

suggestions

Configure suggested questions for the AI assistant:

geistdocs.tsx
export const suggestions = [
  "How do I get started?",
  "What are the key features?",
  "How do I deploy my site?",
  "Where can I get help?",
];

title

Set the main title for your documentation site:

geistdocs.tsx
export const title = "Your Product Documentation";

prompt

Customize the system prompt for the AI assistant to match your documentation context:

geistdocs.tsx
export const prompt =
  "You are a helpful assistant specializing in answering questions about Your Product, a platform for building amazing applications.";
