SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Migrates a plain Markdown docs/ folder to a fully functional Fern documentation site, scaffolding configuration, navigation, and branding so teams can publish docs without a publishing framework.

Core Features & Use Cases

Scaffold a complete Fern project (docs.yml, fern.config.json, navigation skeleton) from an existing docs repo.
Migrate content: copy markdown pages into fern/pages, enforce consistent heading hierarchy, and add SPDX frontmatter for NVIDIA branding.
Build navigation: auto-generate fern/versions/next.yml from the page tree and ensure internal links stay intact.
Optional: migrate and reference images/assets to fern/assets/img for site publishing.

Quick Start

Scaffold Fern, migrate the docs/ folder, update headings and frontmatter, generate navigation, and verify with a local preview.
