DocPuppet

The handbook for the portal you already run

A Devrecated Solutions product

Up-to-datehow-tosfortheportalyourteamalreadyuses.

Portals grow. People forget. DocPuppet recaptures the screens that matter, writes how-tos, and appends What’s new with demos so employees and clients can see what shipped and how to use it.

Capabilities

One catalog. Capture, how-tos, and What’s new.

The plan, stills, clips, and intended-behavior verdict live in one engine. The handbook you host is the proof. DocPuppet does not send mail.

Catalog

Name every screen, who can use it, and which git paths belong to the how-to.

Capture

Playwright stills and per-page clips against the live origin, including an auth prelude.

How-tos

Purpose, where to open it, and look-outs. Recapture keeps the human copy.

What's new

Dated sections append. Commit subjects come from the app repository.

Scope

When paths are set, recapture only the pages whose source actually changed.

Verdict

Pass, fail, or uncertain from what the running app showed versus the needle you named.

How it runs

A CLI against any http(s) origin

Point a spec at a running app. Autodevelop subscribers receive DocPuppet. The CLI also runs on its own.

  1. 01

    Point at a running origin

    A catalog JSON is enough. DocPuppet does not need Autodevelop login, tickets, or mail.

  2. 02

    Capture the screens people forget

    Sign-in, dashboards, boards, and the rest of a large portal. Session survives across pages.

  3. 03

    Ship the handbook

    How-tos and What’s new land in the docs tree you already host. Employees and clients open that URL.

Capture
doc-puppet capture --origin https://your-portal.example --spec catalog.json --site --video

Example

See a captured handbook

The public example is a dealer portal handbook: how-tos, stills, clips, and What’s new. The product is the engine and this site, not that one app.
