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

Maintainers
If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.
DocSpec
We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.
- OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
- SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
- ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
- CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.
The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
Contributing
To contribute to docs, see the developers' guide and contributing guide. If you write with an AI coding agent, use the /write-the-docs skill to draft and /edit-the-docs to revise an existing page.
