Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:21-43 (handler)

  The handler function for the 'handbook-installing' tool. It reads the content of 'handbook/08_installing.md' using readMarkdownFile and returns it as a text content block, or an error message if reading fails. This handler is dynamically generated for all documentation tools.

  async () => {
    try {
      const content = await readMarkdownFile(path.join(folder, file));
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: content
          }
        ]
      };
    } catch (error) {
      const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error);
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `Error reading ${file}: ${errorMessage}`
          }
        ]
      };
    }
  }

• src/index.ts:17-45 (registration)

  Dynamic registration of the 'handbook-installing' tool (and all other doc tools) using server.tool with name and description from config, and the shared handler.

  docFiles.forEach(({ folder, file, name, description }) => {
    server.tool(
      name,
      description,
      async () => {
        try {
          const content = await readMarkdownFile(path.join(folder, file));
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: content
              }
            ]
          };
        } catch (error) {
          const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error);
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Error reading ${file}: ${errorMessage}`
              }
            ]
          };
        }
      }
    );
  });

• src/config.ts:56-61 (registration)

  Configuration object in docFiles array that defines the parameters for the 'handbook-installing' tool: folder, file path, name, and description used during registration.

  {
    folder: 'handbook',
    file: '08_installing.md',
    name: 'handbook-installing',
    description: 'Installing Turbo in your application - covers CDN installation, npm package setup, bundler integration, importing strategies, and Rails-specific installation with turbo-rails gem'
  },

• src/documentReader.ts:14-61 (helper)

  Helper function called by the tool handler to read the markdown file content from GitHub (with caching), falling back to local file.

  export async function readMarkdownFile(filename: string): Promise<string> {
    const filePath = path.join(docsFolder, filename);
    if (!filePath.startsWith(docsFolder)) {
      throw new Error("Invalid file path");
    }
    
    // Get current commit info if we don't have it yet
    if (!mainBranchInfo) {
      try {
        const commitInfo = await fetchMainBranchInformation();
        const cacheKey = `${commitInfo.sha.substring(0, 7)}-${commitInfo.timestamp}`;
        mainBranchInfo = {
          ...commitInfo,
          cacheKey
        };
      } catch (shaError) {
        console.error('Failed to get GitHub commit info, falling back to direct fetch');
      }
    }
    
    // Try to read from cache first if we have commit info
    if (mainBranchInfo) {
      const cachedFilePath = path.join(cacheFolder, mainBranchInfo.cacheKey, filename);
      try {
        const content = await fs.promises.readFile(cachedFilePath, "utf-8");
        console.error(`Using cached content for ${mainBranchInfo.cacheKey}: ${filename}`);
        return content;
      } catch (cacheError) {
        // Cache miss, continue to fetch from GitHub
      }
    }
    
    // Fetch from GitHub
    try {
      return await fetchFromGitHub(filename, mainBranchInfo?.cacheKey);
    } catch (githubError) {
      console.error(`GitHub fetch failed: ${githubError}, attempting to read from local files...`);
      
      // Fallback: read from local files
      try {
        return await fs.promises.readFile(filePath, "utf-8");
      } catch (localError) {
        const githubErrorMessage = githubError instanceof Error ? githubError.message : String(githubError);
        const localErrorMessage = localError instanceof Error ? localError.message : String(localError);
        throw new Error(`Failed to read file from GitHub (${githubErrorMessage}) and locally (${localErrorMessage})`);
      }
    }
  }
