The Mintlify CLI has evolved from a simple local preview tool into a powerful terminal interface for managing documentation workflows. With the introduction of mint analytics, developers can now access page views, search queries, and user feedback directly through the command line, enabling seamless integration with coding agents like Claude Code to automate content updates and identify gaps. The update also enables search and AI assistant functionality within local previews and introduces new authentication commands for better session management.

- mint analytics for structured documentation data
- agent-driven development using CLI output
- search and AI assistant support in local dev environments
- improved identity management via mint login/logout

This article introduces `install.md`, a proposed standard for creating installation instructions that are easily understood and executed by LLM-powered agents. The core idea is to provide a structured markdown file that details the installation process in a way that an agent can autonomously follow. This contrasts with traditional documentation geared towards human readers and allows for automated installation across various environments. The standard includes sections for product description, action prompts, objectives, verification criteria, and step-by-step instructions. Mintlify now auto-detects and generates `install.md` files for projects, offering a streamlined approach to agent-friendly documentation.
