The sidebar cross-faded between two states, which stopped describing what was happening once sections could nest: entering a section slid, but opening an agent from the agent list swapped in place with no motion at all, so going deeper and going sideways looked identical. Panels are now positioned from a single number — their depth relative to the level on screen. A panel above the current level waits off to the right, the current one sits at rest, and ones below park just off to the left, so push and pop fall out of the same rule and no direction has to be tracked. The panel behind travels a quarter of the width and dims rather than sliding out with the one in front, and the arriving panel carries a shadow off its leading edge that the container clips once it lands, so the two read as stacked rather than adjacent. The motion was also starting far too late. Mounting a section's page costs a single ~170ms blocking frame in a production build, and the sidebar's own class change rode along in that same commit: measured from the click, the panels did not begin moving for ~290ms, so the animation played to an audience that had stopped expecting it. The two updates are now split by priority. The level lands as an urgent update touching nothing but the sidebar, so React can commit and paint it straight away; the route change goes through startTransition, which renders the page at low priority and yields instead of blocking that paint. The target's section is resolved from the path up front, so the incoming panel arrives with its content already in place. The style change now lands ~53ms after the click. Only translate and opacity are animated, so the compositor keeps the motion smooth across the frames the page render still costs. Timing is tuned against where the travel actually lands rather than by feel: half the distance by ~65ms so the panel tracks the click, 90% by ~180ms so the movement reads as movement, settled by ~300ms.

Collaborate directly with our team to shape the roadmap, access priority support, and build enterprise-ready solutions with exclusive community insights.
QuickStart
Note
DocsGPT runs on Docker. The installer checks for it first.
macOS and Linux:
curl -fsSL https://docs.ac/install | bash
Windows (PowerShell):
irm https://docs.ac/install.ps1 | iex
The installer gets uv, installs the docsgpt Python package with it, and runs docsgpt up. That asks who should reach DocsGPT (only this computer, your network, or a domain with HTTPS) and which model provider to use, then starts it, at http://localhost:7091 for a local install. Afterwards, docsgpt status, docsgpt logs, docsgpt upgrade, docsgpt down and docsgpt uninstall manage it.
To read the script before running it:
curl -fsSL https://docs.ac/install -o install.sh
less install.sh
bash install.sh
A more detailed Quickstart is available in our documentation.
From a clone, with the setup script
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/arc53/DocsGPT.git cd DocsGPT
For macOS and Linux:
-
Run the setup script:
./setup.sh
For Windows:
-
Run the PowerShell setup script:
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\setup.ps1
Either script will guide you through setting up DocsGPT. Five options are available: using the public API, running locally, connecting to a local inference engine, using a cloud API provider, or building the docker image locally. The scripts will automatically configure your .env file and handle necessary downloads and installations based on your chosen option.
Navigate to http://localhost:5173/
To stop DocsGPT, open a terminal in the DocsGPT directory and run:
docker compose -f deployment/docker-compose.yaml down
(or use the specific docker compose down command shown after running the setup script).

For development environment setup instructions, please refer to the Development Environment Guide.
