An honest take

Most teams ship engineering runbooks as an afterthought — a Notion page nobody reads, a wiki nobody updates, a PDF nobody opens.

Dokly makes engineering runbooks a competitive edge: fast search, real structure, AI-ready, and a custom domain in one click.

Why Dokly

Built for teams that ship docs fast

Find the Right Runbook Fast

Client-side search on Starter and above gets engineers from 'symptom' to 'runbook' in seconds — even at 3am.

Code Blocks Built for Commands

Shiki-powered syntax highlighting in MDX code blocks for the languages you actually run during incidents.

Structured Steps

Use the Steps and Callout components so each runbook reads as numbered instructions plus warnings — not a wall of text.

A Stable URL per Runbook

Every page has a clean, predictable URL you can drop into PagerDuty / Opsgenie alert templates.

How it works

Live in an afternoon

No demo call. No sales onboarding. Sign up, paste your content, ship.

Sign up free

Create your workspace and get a *.dokly.co subdomain in under a minute. No credit card. 14-day Pro trial included.

02

Write or import

Author in the visual MDX editor with callouts, cards, tabs, steps, and code blocks. Paste from existing docs to get started fast.

03

Ship your domain

Add your custom domain on Pro. Auto-generated llms.txt and sitemap mean AI crawlers and search engines can read your site on day one.

What you get

Features that matter for engineering runbooks

Steps Component

Built-in Steps component for numbered procedures — the natural shape of an incident runbook.

Callouts for Warnings

Callout component for 'note', 'warning', and 'danger' guidance so blast-radius warnings don't get missed.

Shiki Code Blocks

Syntax highlighting for the languages Shiki supports — bash, sql, yaml, hcl, and more — inside the visual MDX editor.

Search (Starter+)

Fast client-side search across every runbook on Starter and above.

Custom Domain (Pro)

Serve runbooks at runbooks.yourcompany.com on Pro with SSL handled for you.

Sidebar Navigation

Group runbooks into sections by service or environment so the sidebar mirrors how your team actually thinks about systems.

AI, done right

Docs AI agents can actually read

When users ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Cursor about engineering runbooks, your content is what gets cited — not a competitor's.

Auto-generated llms.txt

Every Dokly site ships with a clean llms.txt so ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Cursor can cite your docs accurately. No setup.

Structured semantic HTML

Pages render as clean, semantic HTML — the kind LLM crawlers parse perfectly. No SPA-rendering headaches.

Custom domain on day one

Authority lives at your domain, not a subpath. Your AI citations point home, not to a vendor's URL.
