Miranda LimonczenkoandNik Richers 8fa75be01b docs: add a standalone style guide (#50742)
Part 1 of 3. Stack: #50742 → #50744 → #50743.

## Problem

We have several problems:
- Style guidance lives in lots of places and need consolidation
- Our CONTRIBUTING guide has turned into one massive style document that
needs to be broken up



## Solution

Add `apps/docs/style-guide/` as plain markdown. 

| File | Covers |
| --- | --- |
| `README.md` | What the guide covers, who it's for, how to contribute,
and the references it defers to |
| `WORD_LIST.md` | Terminology, spelling, capitalization, and the
`agent` / `LLM` / `AI` distinction. Moved from `apps/docs/` with history
intact |
| `01-voice-and-tone.md` | Audience, brevity, sentence construction |
| `02-elements.md` | Which component renders each piece, and linking
conventions |
| `03-page-structure.md` | Document types, information types, grouping,
chunking, timeless documentation |

### New content

This guide is mostly rearrangement and glue, but it includes some new
content:
- Links and cross-reference formatting
- WORD_LIST entries for LLM and AI agent
- Timeless documentation guidance
- Accessibility guidance
- Sharper guidance on brevity and chunking

## Manual testing

1. Open `apps/docs/style-guide/` on this branch and confirm `README.md`
renders below the file list.
2. Follow every link in `README.md` and read the document through.
3. You can test by locally pointing an agent at the style-guide and
seeing that it makes great choices when revising a document.

Miranda Limonczenko 7ce4ee53ae chore(docs) Retire supa-mdx-lint (#50602)
Closes
[DOCS-1289](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/DOCS-1289/get-the-linter-to-fix-what-it-flags-or-retirereplace-the-linter)

Stacked on #50600, which points contributors at the authoring skills.
Merge that one first.

## Problem

Contributors experienced friction with the linter. They felt nickle and
dimed for tiny nits and felt detracted from the work itself. PRs would
become noisy with tiny one-word suggestions.

Additionally, our homegrown linter is not very intelligent, causing
frequent overrides.

## Solution

This removes the linter entirely in favor of directing contributors to
use SKILLS instead.

The removal entails...

- **CI.** Delete the three `docs_lint` workflows: the PR check, the
external-PR comment companion, and the nightly `--fix` bot. Drop the
stale `zizmor.yml` ignore entry for the deleted workflow.
- **Tooling.** Delete `supa-mdx-lint.config.toml` and the 14 rule files.
Drop the `lint:mdx` script and the `@supabase/supa-mdx-lint` dependency
from docs, learn, and ui-library, and regenerate the lockfile.
- **Content.** Remove the 181 directives. A separate commit carries
Prettier's reformatting of the tables and blank lines those comments had
suppressed, so the deletion commit stays readable. No prose changes.
- **Style guide.** The word list states each rule directly instead of
describing what the linter flagged. Every term survives, including the
phrase groups that mirrored `Rule004ExcludeWords`.
- **Skills.** `write-the-docs`, `edit-the-docs`, and `review-the-docs`
drop `pnpm lint:mdx` from their self-review commands and check the word
list directly. `ask-the-docs`'s CI reference drops both workflows.

## Manual testing

1. Run `git grep -i supa-mdx-lint -- . ':!pnpm-lock.yaml'`. No matches.
2. Run `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --lockfile-only`. It passes, so
the lockfile matches the three trimmed manifests.
3. Run `git diff master...HEAD --name-only --diff-filter=ACMR | grep -E
'\.(md|mdx)$' | xargs npx prettier --config prettier.config.mjs
--check`. All changed markdown passes.
4. Open the [reformatted filter
table](https://docs-git-docs-retire-mdx-linter-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/observability/logs#filter-events)
on the preview and compare it with
[production](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/observability/logs#filter-events).
The table renders the same.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Documentation**
* Documentation guidance now uses manual prose and terminology review
with the shared word list.
* Clarified storage configuration and common Realtime channel mistakes.
* Improved table formatting, text wrapping, and selected reference
links.
  * Updated documentation authoring and review guidance.

* **Chores**
* Retired automated MDX linting from workflows and local validation
commands.
* Removed lint-suppression markers throughout documentation without
changing instructions.
  * Added targeted documentation review guidance for pull requests.

Nik RichersandNik Richers 6bec90a744 docs: unpublish Multigres Public Alpha docs (#50662)
## I have read the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Revert. Removes the Multigres Public Alpha docs section that was
published in #49020.

Linear: MUL-1621 (follow-up to MUL-452).

## What is the current behavior?

- Overview guide live at `/docs/guides/database/multigres`
- Compatibility stub live at
`/docs/guides/database/multigres/compatibility`
- Database sidebar has a Multigres section
- Features table lists Database / Multigres / `public alpha`
- Database "What you get" cards render for Multigres

## What is the new behavior?

Clean revert of #49020: overview and compatibility pages removed,
sidebar entry removed, features table row removed, "What you get" cards
removed. The unrelated `ContentListings` optional-`href` support this PR
introduced is also reverted since nothing else uses it yet.

Docs go back up once Sugu gives the go-ahead to re-publish (tracked in
MUL-1621).

## Additional context

- `pnpm --filter docs exec vitest run lib/content-listings.test.ts` — 20
passed

<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
-->
## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Documentation**
- Removed Multigres documentation, navigation links, feature listings,
and related references.
- Updated the JavaScript client library link in the getting-started
guide.
  - Corrected the High Availability badge’s “Read more” link.

- **Content Listings**
- Content listing entries now require links and consistently render as
linked items.
  - Non-linked listing items are no longer displayed as static content.

Miranda Limonczenko 1608b16687 chore(docs) Direct contributors to the docs authoring skills (#50600)
Prerequisite for
[DOCS-1289](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/DOCS-1289/get-the-linter-to-fix-what-it-flags-or-retirereplace-the-linter).

## Problem

The `write-the-docs` and `edit-the-docs` skills carry the docs style
guide, so a contributor who uses them writes to the guide without having
read it. Right now nothing points a contributor at them.
`apps/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` describes the skills as an option for agent
users, halfway down a 559-line page, and no other contributor-facing
file mentions them at all.

## Solution

- **CodeRabbit reminder.** One path instruction for
`apps/docs/content/**/*.mdx`. When a page collects two or more style,
terminology, or structure issues, CodeRabbit adds a single comment
pointing the author at `/write-the-docs` or `/edit-the-docs`. A single
nit gets no pointer, so the comment reads as a signal rather than
boilerplate.
- **Docs CONTRIBUTING.** The intro lists the skills by task, draft
through self-review, before the style rules, and links the existing
skills section for framing and architecture. The section opener now
reads as an expectation rather than a conditional, with the agent
mechanics moved to a second paragraph.
- **Root CONTRIBUTING.** A pre-flight check under Pull Requests, with
the same task list nested under it. Matches the docs checklist item in
#50591.
- **Word list.** Names the skills that apply the list.
- **Docs README and DEVELOPERS.** One sentence in each Contributing
section.

**Not in this PR:** CodeRabbit reminds, it doesn't enforce. Feeding the
two `SKILL.md` files to `knowledge_base.code_guidelines` would make it
review docs content against the style guide. That's a decision for
DOCS-1289 itself.

**Verification caveat:** this PR changes no MDX under
`apps/docs/content/`, so the new path instruction doesn't fire on its
own review.

## Manual testing

1. See all new content references in the diff.
2. Review for clarity and value.
3. Consider suggesting other ways to promote the usage of this skill to
all docs contributors.

Lukas BernertandClaude Fable 5 459436e87f docs: update compute size descriptions (CPU column, pg_restore guidance) (#49996)
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Docs update: aligns compute descriptions with the current compute
options.

Fixes PROD-655

## What is the new behavior?

- compute-and-disk: CPU column now shows "Shared" (Nano–Medium) and
"Dedicated · N vCPUs" (Large and above), matching the pricing page
- migrating-to-supabase/postgres: pg_restore -j guidance keyed to the
vCPU count per compute size
- which-version-of-postgres: uses show server_version;, which gives
simpler, architecture-agnostic output
- High-CPU troubleshooting guide: recommends upgrading compute size
instead of naming specific instance types
billing-on-supabase: "64 cores" → "64 vCPUs"
- Section anchors unchanged (deep-linked from other pages)

## Self-review

Content-only MDX change:

- pnpm lint:mdx: no findings in the changed files (all reported
errors/warnings are pre-existing in unrelated files)
- pnpm build:guides-markdown: builds clean; generated .md exports for
the changed pages verified
- All pages verified rendering in the local dev app on current master
- Swept apps/docs for remaining core-count / instance-type mentions in
compute descriptions

<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
-->
## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Documentation**
* Updated PostgreSQL version-checking instructions to use `show
server_version;` with simplified output.
* Clarified compute sizing terminology using shared and dedicated CPU
allocations and vCPU-based descriptions.
  * Updated billing guidance to describe scaling up to 64 vCPUs.
* Revised database restore guidance with current compute tiers and
recommended parallelization settings.
* Simplified high-CPU troubleshooting guidance to recommend temporarily
scaling CPU capacity.
* Added writing guidance to consistently use “vCPU” and “vCPUs” for
Supabase compute resources.

Miranda Limonczenko 3e6b40b238 chore(docs): revise CONTRIBUTING for common pitfalls with Information types (#50357)
## Problem

Our CONTRIBUTING and WORD_LIST is doing a pretty good job at improving
contributor documentation, but I consistently see some issues:
- **Uses "This guide":** "This guide..." is no longer recommended based
on discussions with Nik. Instead, recommendation is to omit those words
while still including a value statement. I still do not recommend
including a definition of the title term as an opening sentence.
- **Mixed information types:** I still often see mixed information types
or wordy, chunky paragraphs. Without a definition in place, my agent
mistakenly thought there was just "Procedure, Context, and Reference."

## Solution

- **A new Information types section** that clearly outlines definitions
and usage with cross-references so that this guidance is not easily
missed.
- **Removed "This guide"** recommendation in favor of a value statement.

Additionally added a clear rule about how to spell numbers consistently
and gave more guidance about how to structure a large topic.

## Manual testing

1. Open
[apps/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/docs/value-statements-and-counts/apps/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)
on this branch. The Information types section renders its table, the
Recommendations list, and both fenced examples.
2. Click the two `Information types` links, one in General principles
and one under Guides. Both jump to the section.
3. Open
[apps/docs/WORD_LIST.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/docs/value-statements-and-counts/apps/docs/WORD_LIST.md).
The `numbers` entry sits under N, ahead of `numbers in product
versions`.
4. Run `npx prettier --check apps/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md
apps/docs/WORD_LIST.md` from the repo root. It reports no formatting
changes.

74c116de74 docs: add Multigres Public Alpha documentation — MERGE ON SEP 14, 2026 (#49020)
## I have read the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

This PR adds Public Alpha documentation for Multigres, Supabase's
multi-node Postgres high-availability integration. It introduces an
overview guide, a compatibility stub, Database sidebar navigation, a
Features table row, and a "What you get" card grid. ContentListings
items can now omit `href` so those cards are not forced to be links.

Linear: MUL-452.

~~🚨 **DO NOT MERGE UNTIL THE PUBLIC ALPHA GOES LIVE** 🚨~~ [@jhydra12
OK'ed merging, FYI]


## What is the current behavior?

- Linear item: Documentation for Multigres
- Production has no Multigres guides.
`https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/multigres` and
`https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/multigres/compatibility`
return 404
- The Database sidebar has no Multigres section
- The Features status table does not list Multigres
- ContentListings items required a link (`href` was mandatory)

## What is the new behavior?

- Overview guide at `/docs/guides/database/multigres` covering alpha
status, eligibility, enablement, and what is not included
- Compatibility stub at `/docs/guides/database/multigres/compatibility`
- Database sidebar: Multigres → Overview, Compatibility (after OrioleDB)
- Features table: Database / Multigres / `public alpha`
- "What you get" renders as three non-link ContentListings cards
- `href` is optional on ContentListings items; markdown export renders
unlinked entries when it is omitted

## Additional context

- Worktree:
~/GitHub/supabase/supabase-worktrees/nikrichers/mul-452-documentation-for-multigres-ready
- Branch commits: Initial Multigres docs draft; Edits (cards, copy, MDX
comments); merge master; spelling allow-list for Multigres, Vitess, and
sharding

- Verification:

| Check                                   | Result          |
| --------------------------------------- | --------------- |
| Preview overview                        | 200             |
| Preview compatibility                   | 200             |
| Production overview                     | 404 (expected)  |
| Production compatibility                | 404 (expected)  |
| `supa-mdx-lint` on changed MDX          | pass            |
| `vitest` `lib/content-listings.test.ts` | pass (21 tests) |

### Proof: Multigres docs pages render, including non-link What you get
cards

**Verified:** production 404 · Vercel docs preview 200

Danny White 24be387cdb docs: use sign in terminology across guides and style guides (#49877)
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Docs update. Aligns documentation and style guides with the **Sign in /
Sign out / Sign up** platform standard.

Closes DOCS-1328. Related to
[#49874](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/49874).

## What is the current behavior?

Docs style guides prefer _login_ / _log in_. Guide prose uses mixed
login and sign in wording.

## What is the new behavior?

- [WORD_LIST.md](apps/docs/WORD_LIST.md) and
[copywriting.mdx](apps/design-system/content/docs/copywriting.mdx)
document the sign in standard
- Design-system auth examples updated
- Guide prose and API reference spec descriptions updated

### Terminology

**Standard:** Use _sign in_, _sign out_, and _sign up_ as verbs. Use
_sign-in_, _sign-out_, and _sign-up_ as nouns and adjectives. Match
Studio UI labels (**Sign in**, **Sign out**, **Sign up**).

**Preserved intentionally:**

| Category | Keep as-is | Example |
| -------- | ---------- | ------- |
| Feature name | social login | `/social-login`, `features.mdx` heading,
OAuth provider section |
| URL slugs | `login` in paths | `/phone-login`, `/login-flows`,
`choosing-login-flow` |
| CLI | `supabase login` / `supabase logout` | Reference ids
`supabase-login` / `supabase-logout`; executable commands unchanged |
| SDK methods | `logout()` | Kotlin/Swift method names in API reference
titles and examples |
| Third-party UI | Provider product labels | Facebook Login, Kakao
Login, portal **Login** buttons |
| Postgres | Database terminology | login privileges, login credentials,
login via role |
| Audit/logging | Log prose | "Generates the following **log** in the
Postgres Logs" |
| Code and routes | Paths and filenames | `app/login/`, `Login.tsx`,
`demos/android-login` |
| External URLs | Third-party login pages | `dash.cloudflare.com/login`,
`console.neon.tech/login`, `vercel.com/login` |
| API identifiers | Event and field names | Audit actions
`login`/`logout`, `should_logout_user` |

## To test

- Run `pnpm lint:mdx` in `apps/docs`
- Spot-check `features.mdx`, `social-login.mdx`, and a provider guide
(e.g. Facebook, Kakao)

<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
-->
## Summary by CodeRabbit
