You are working on the OpenAEV Documentation repository, a MkDocs Material site for the OpenAEV Adversary Exposure Validation Platform.
- Static site generator: MkDocs with Material for MkDocs (Insiders)
- Content format: Markdown (
.md) files indocs/ - Config:
mkdocs.ymlat root - Deployment: Mike for versioning, GitHub Pages
- Language: English only
docs/ → Markdown source files (the documentation)

mkdocs.yml → MkDocs configuration and nav tree
requirements.txt → Python dependencies
Follow these rules strictly when creating or editing documentation:
- Use active voice and present tense: "Run the command" ✅, not "The command should be run" ❌.
- Be clear, concise, and pedagogical. Avoid unnecessary jargon.
- Capitalize proper nouns and frameworks: OpenAEV, MITRE ATT&CK, REST API, Payload, Asset, **Inject **, Scenario, Simulation.
- Explain acronyms on first use: e.g., IOC (Indicator of Compromise).
Every section should follow this structure:
- What is this? — Define the concept.
- Why use it? — Explain the value and context.
- How do I do it? — Provide clear, ordered steps.
- Example — Add a realistic case (command, screenshot, workflow).
- What's next? — Suggest related pages or next steps.
Always start with usage and benefits, then show the execution.
- Start each page with a short introduction explaining what the page covers.
- Use
##for sections,###for subsections — keep headings consistent. - Use numbered lists for steps.
- Use tables for parameters, config options, and field descriptions.
- Use code blocks with syntax highlighting for commands and configs.
- Use admonitions for emphasis:
!!! warningfor warnings!!! notefor tips/info!!! tipfor best practices
- Use hyphens (
-) in filenames:scenarios-and-simulations.md✅ - Never use underscores (
_):scenarios_and_simulations.md❌
- Store images in
docs/[SECTION]/assets/. - Use descriptive filenames:
scenario-import-global.png. - Optimize for web (compressed, < 1 MB).
- Create the
.mdfile in the appropriatedocs/subdirectory. - Add the page to the
navsection inmkdocs.yml. - Add cross-links from related pages.
- Follow the usage-driven page structure above.
