# Contributing to Page-Agent
Thank you for your interest in contributing to Page-Agent! We welcome contributions from everyone.
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Development Setup
1. **Prerequisites**
- `node.js >= 20` with `npm >= 10`
- An editor that supports `ts/eslint/prettier`
- Make sure `eslint`, `prettier` and `commitlint` work well
2. **Setup**
```bash
npm ci
npm start # Start demo and documentation site
```
### Project Structure
This is a **monorepo** with npm workspaces containing **two main packages**:
1. **Core Library** (`packages/page-agent/`) - Pure JavaScript/TypeScript AI agent library for browser DOM automation, published as `page-agent` on npm
2. **Website** (`packages/website/`) - React documentation and landing page. Also as demo and test page for the core lib. private package `@page-agent/website`
We use a simplified monorepo solution with `native npm-workspace + ts reference + vite alias`. No fancy tooling. Hoisting is required.
- When developing. Use alias so that we don't have to pre-build.
- When bundling. Use external and disable ts `paths` alias to leave deps out.
- When bundling `IIFE` and `Website`. Bundle everything including local packages.

## 📝 Code Style
### General Guidelines
- Use TypeScript for type safety
- Follow existing naming conventions
- Write meaningful commit messages
- Keep functions small and focused
- Add JSDoc for public APIs
### Vibe coding with AI
- It's **recommended** to heavily rely on AI (aka "vibe coding") when maintaining **demo pages and tests**.
- BUT **NOT the core lib!!!** Be very careful if AI ever touched the core lib!!!
- Review anything AI wrote before make a commit. You are the author of anything you commit. NOT AI.
- Update the [AI instructions](AGENTS.md) when structure changed.
## 🔧 Development Workflows
### Test With Your Own LLM API
- Create a `.env` file in the repo root with your LLM API config
```env
LLM_MODEL_NAME=gpt-5.2
LLM_API_KEY=your-api-key
LLM_BASE_URL=https://api.your-llm-provider.com/v1
```
- Restart the dev server to load new env vars
- If not provided, the demo will the free testing proxy by default
### Website Development
```bash
npm start
```
### Testing on Other Websites
- Start and serve a local `iife` script
```bash
npm run dev:iife # Serving IIFE with auto rebuild at http://localhost:5174/page-agent.js
```
- Add a new bookmark
```javascript
javascript:(function(){var s=document.createElement('script');s.src=`http://localhost:5174/page-agent.js?t=${Math.random()}`;s.onload=()=>console.log(%27PageAgent ready!%27);document.head.appendChild(s);})();
```
- Click the bookmark on any page to load Page-Agent
> Warning: AK in your local `.env` will be inlined in the iife script.
### Adding Documentation
Ask an AI to help you add documentation to the `website/` package. Follow the existing style.
> Our AGENTS.md file and guardrails are designed for this purpose. But please be careful and review anything AI generated.
