title: Reed
description: One source of truth, compiled into every documentation surface.
---

Reed compiles one `docs.json` and a directory of MDX into a complete static
documentation site — and into the derived surfaces that belong with it: `llms.txt`,
an MCP server, a Claude Skill.

The output is plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript with the search index inlined. No runtime,
no backend, nothing phoning home. Put it on any static host you already have.
**If Reed disappears, the site you built keeps working.**

One command touches the network — `reed prefetch`, once per machine. After that
`check`, `dev` and `build` all complete with no network access at all.
