docs: rebrand Windsurf doc page to Devin Desktop (#28205)
## Summary Cognition (maker of Devin) rebranded the Windsurf Editor as Devin Desktop on June 2, 2026, after acquiring it from Codeium in July 2025. Our docs still referred to the editor as Windsurf and linked to a dead `codeium.com` domain. ## Changes - Renamed `docs/user-guides/workspace-access/windsurf.md` to `devin-desktop.md`, rewritten to lead with Devin Desktop branding, note the Codeium -> Windsurf -> Devin Desktop history, and use current links (`windsurf.com`, `docs.windsurf.com`) instead of dead `codeium.com` ones. - Updated `docs/manifest.json` and `docs/user-guides/workspace-access/index.md` to reference the new page. - Updated remaining Windsurf mentions to Devin Desktop in `docs/ai-coder/ide-agents.md`, `docs/ai-coder/index.md`, `docs/reference/glossary.md`, and `docs/ai-coder/ai-gateway/clients/index.md`. - Added `windsurf.com`/`devin.ai` to `.github/.linkspector.yml` ignore patterns; both rate-limit repeated automated requests with 429s (same class of issue as the `codeium.com`/`marketplace.visualstudio.com` fix in #28203). - Switched every module reference from `windsurf` to the new `devin-desktop` registry module (`docs/about/contributing/modules.md`, the three `get-started/customize-your-template/*.md` Terraform tutorials, and the main doc page's module link), since the new module actually renders `display_name = "Devin Desktop"` / `slug = "devin-desktop"` in the UI (the old `windsurf` module hardcodes "Windsurf Editor"). <details> <summary>Scope notes / sequencing</summary> The `devin-desktop` module referenced here is being added in [coder/registry#1050](https://github.com/coder/registry/pull/1050) (not yet merged/released). That PR is itself gated on [coder/coder#28214](https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/28214) (whitelisting the `devin:` URI scheme) shipping in a released Coder version first. This docs PR can merge independently, the module link will 404 until #1050 is released, same as any docs-ahead-of-registry-release sequencing. The Terraform code samples now show `module "devin-desktop"` because that module's `display_name`/`slug` are properly parameterized (unlike `windsurf`, which hardcodes "Windsurf Editor"/`windsurf` regardless of what's passed in), so the docs stay accurate to the rendered UI. </details> ## Validation - `make lint` (docs lint, markdownlint, repo checks) passes. - Manually verified the new outbound links (`docs.windsurf.com`) return 200; `windsurf.com`/`devin.ai` are rate-limited (429) from this environment too, hence the added ignore patterns. Stacked on #28203 (targets that branch so the diff here stays scoped to the rebrand; will retarget to `main` once #28203 merges). > 🤖 This PR was created with the help of Coder Agents, and needs a human review. 🧑💻 |

docs: replace enterprise-base image references with example-base (#27025)
Follow-up to #27018, sweeping the remaining `codercom/enterprise-base:ubuntu` references to `codercom/example-base:ubuntu` and `coder/enterprise-images` links to [coder/images](https://github.com/coder/images). The `example-` prefix is the recommended one for new deployments per the coder/images README. Covers the 11 docs pages flagged by doc-check on #27018 plus the embedded `examples/templates/docker` and `examples/templates/kubernetes` starter templates (image string only; the `image` variable lives in the coder/registry templates, see coder/registry#943). OpenShift imagestream names in `docs/install/openshift.md` keep the `enterprise-base` local name; only the upstream image reference changed. Part of DEVREL-201. 🤖 Generated with Coder Agents using Claude, on behalf of @bpmct |

docs: normalize code-fence languages for Shiki compatibility (#27161)
Normalizes non-standard code-fence language tags across `docs/**` so a strict highlighter (Shiki, used by Fumadocs) won't fail the build on an unrecognized language, and unifies redundant synonym tags onto one canonical form per language. The current renderer (Speed-Highlight) detects the language from the code content, not the fence label, so this drift wasn't visible until now. ## Changes - `hcl` -> `tf` (199 fences, including indented ones nested in numbered/bulleted lists). Shiki ships `hcl` and `terraform` as two distinct grammars (not aliases); every `hcl`-tagged fence in `docs/**` is actually Terraform resource/data/provider syntax, so the more specific `terraform` grammar is correct for all of them. `tf` is Shiki's own alias for that grammar, and it's also what GitHub's own markdown renderer resolves to the same HCL/Terraform highlighting. - `pwsh`/`powershell` -> `ps1`. Both `ps` and `ps1` are registered PowerShell aliases in Shiki, but on GitHub's renderer only `.ps1` is a registered file extension (`.ps` isn't), so `ps1` renders identically to `powershell` there today while bare `ps` would silently lose highlighting. - `env` -> `dotenv` (a dedicated Shiki grammar for `KEY=VALUE` files) - `text`/`output`/`none`/`url` -> `txt`. Same built-in plain-text fallback either way, just shorter. - `Dockerfile` -> `dockerfile` (lowercase) - `bash`/`shell` -> `sh` (732 fences). Shiki and GitHub both alias all three to a single shell grammar; this was already the style guide's stated preference, just not enforced across the existing corpus until now. - `markdown` -> `md` (4 fences). Alias of the same grammar in both Shiki and GitHub. - `jsonc` -> `json` (1 fence). The block has no comments or trailing commas, so it doesn't need the comments-capable grammar. - `ts` -> `tsx` (2 fences, `docs/about/contributing/frontend.md`). Verified the actual content tokenizes identically under both grammars, and a sibling block in the same file already needs `tsx` for real JSX, so unifying to one tag is safe for this file. Documented a caveat: `tsx` mis-tokenizes the legacy angle-bracket type-assertion syntax (`<Type>value`), which is invalid in real `.tsx` files anyway, so use `value as Type` instead. - `yml` -> `yaml` (1 fence) - Updated `docs/.style/style-guide/formatting.md` to document all canonical tags `promql` (2 fences) and `caddyfile` (2 fences) are left as-is. Shiki doesn't bundle a grammar for either, so they need a custom grammar registration when the site adopts Shiki, rather than degrading to `txt`. Tracked as follow-up work under DOCS-118 and [DOCS-544](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-544/vendor-a-local-promql-grammar-for-shiki-syntax-highlighting) (promql). Does not touch `offlinedocs/`. Linear: [DOCS-476](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-476/normalize-docs-code-fence-languages-de-risk-shikifumadocs) <details> <summary>How the fence tags were verified</summary> Each tag was tested against a real `shiki@latest` highlighter instance (`codeToHtml`/`codeToTokens`) and cross-checked against GitHub's `@wooorm/starry-night` grammar sources (the renderer that actually displays these `.md` files today, in repo browsing and PR diffs), since that's what determines whether brevity is safe before Shiki adoption: ```text FAIL env -- Language `env` is not included in this bundle. FAIL Dockerfile -- Language `Dockerfile` is not included in this bundle. FAIL promql -- Language `promql` is not included in this bundle. FAIL caddyfile -- Language `caddyfile` is not included in this bundle. FAIL pwsh -- Language `pwsh` is not included in this bundle. FAIL output -- Language `output` is not included in this bundle. ``` `hcl` doesn't error in Shiki, since it's a real grammar, but that's exactly the trap: it was silently rendering every fence with the generic HCL grammar instead of the Terraform-specific one. Every `hcl`-tagged fence in `docs/**` was manually checked against `origin/main` and is genuinely Terraform content. For `ts`/`tsx`, tokenizing the actual doc content confirmed identical output under both grammars; a synthetic test with the legacy angle-bracket cast syntax confirmed `tsx` degrades on that specific construct, which the style guide now calls out. The first normalization pass only matched fence tags at column 0 (`^```tag$`), missing tags indented inside numbered/bulleted lists. A follow-up pass caught the remaining occurrences at any indentation level. </details> --- *This PR description and the underlying changes were prepared with Coder Agents assistance.* |

docs: update template creation docs for template builder (#26993)
## Summary
Update documentation across 9 files to present the template builder as
the primary template creation method, replacing the old starter
templates flow as the default entry point.
The template builder is a guided wizard that lets admins select base
infrastructure, add registry modules, configure variables, and produce
validated Terraform without writing HCL.
## Changes
**Primary docs (significant rewrites):**
- `docs/admin/templates/creating-templates.md`: Added "Using the
template builder" as the first section with full 5-step wizard
documentation, screenshots, airgap/registry notes, and alternative
creation links. Moved CLI starter template flow to its own section.
Fixed "You can the" typo.
- `docs/get-started/index.md`: Rewrote Steps 4-6 to use the builder with
the Docker base template instead of the Coder Quickstart (which is not a
builder base template). Generalized workspace parameter instructions.
- `docs/start/first-template.md`: Rewrote to use the builder. Removed
old starter templates references, TODO notes, typo, and commented-out
sections.
**Secondary docs (targeted edits):**
- `docs/admin/templates/index.md`: Replaced starter templates section
with builder-first "Create a template" section.
- `docs/admin/templates/managing-templates/index.md`: Renamed "Starter
templates" to "Creating templates" pointing to the builder.
- `docs/install/airgap.md`: Added "Template builder" section documenting
`CODER_DISABLE_TEMPLATE_BUILDER` and
`CODER_TEMPLATE_BUILDER_REGISTRY_URL`.
- `docs/tutorials/template-from-scratch.md`: Added TIP callout
recommending the builder. Fixed `coder templates create` -> `coder
templates push` inconsistency.
- `docs/admin/integrations/devcontainers/envbuilder/add-envbuilder.md`:
Updated Dashboard tab to reference the builder and "Upload an existing
template" alternative.
- `docs/about/screenshots.md`: Updated caption and image reference for
template builder.
**Screenshots added:**
- `templatebuilder_01_bases.png` (base selection step)
- `templatebuilder_02_modules.png` (module selection step)
- `templatebuilder_03_module_customization.png` (module settings step)
- `templatebuilder_04_customizations.png` (template customizations step)
<details>
<summary>Implementation plan</summary>
# Plan: Update docs/ for Template Builder Launch
## Summary
The Template Builder is a new guided wizard at `/templates/new/builder`
that lets admins create templates by selecting a base infrastructure
template, composing it with registry modules, configuring variables, and
producing a validated Terraform bundle without writing HCL. The docs
need to be updated to present this as the primary/recommended template
creation path, while preserving the existing paths (upload, CLI,
duplicate) as alternatives.
## Key behavioral facts from the code
- **Route**: `/templates/new/builder` (new), `/templates/new` (old,
still exists)
- **Entry point**: The "New Template" button on the Templates page links
to `/templates/new/builder` when the builder is enabled; otherwise falls
back to `/starter-templates`
- **5-step wizard**:
1. **Select base infrastructure** (e.g., Docker, AWS EC2, Kubernetes)
2. **Base template parameters** (optional, skipped if base has none)
3. **Select modules** (IDE, AI Agent, Source Control, etc.;
multi-select, grouped by category)
4. **Module settings** (optional, skipped if no configurable variables)
5. **Template customizations** (name, display name, description, icon,
organization)
- **Alternative creation links** are shown on step 1: "Start from
scratch", "Upload an existing template", "Browse community templates",
"Use template agent skill"
- **Disabled via**: `CODER_DISABLE_TEMPLATE_BUILDER` env var /
`--disable-template-builder` flag. When disabled, redirects to old
`/templates/new` flow
- **Registry URL override**: `CODER_TEMPLATE_BUILDER_REGISTRY_URL`
(default: `registry.coder.com`)
- **Requires outbound access** to `registry.coder.com` for `terraform
init` at compose time
- **Modules are bundled** with the Coder release binary; the builder
does not fetch metadata from the registry at runtime
- **Sensitive variables** (secrets) are not collected by the builder;
they are deferred to workspace creation time
- **Module conflicts** show a warning but do not block creation
- **One-way**: No re-entry into the builder for existing templates; edit
HCL directly after creation
## Files to update
### Tier 1: Primary creation flow docs (significant rewrites)
#### 1. `docs/admin/templates/creating-templates.md`
**Current state**: Documents three creation paths: "From a starter
template" (primary), "From an existing template", "From scratch
(advanced)".
**Changes**:
- Add a new section **"Using the template builder"** as the first and
primary section (before "From a starter template").
- Describe the 5-step wizard flow: select base infrastructure, configure
base parameters, select modules, configure module settings, set template
customizations.
- Mention that the builder is enabled by default and requires outbound
access to `registry.coder.com`.
- Note that sensitive variables are collected from developers at
workspace creation, not during template building.
- Add a callout about disabling the builder for airgapped deployments
(`CODER_DISABLE_TEMPLATE_BUILDER`).
- Note the `CODER_TEMPLATE_BUILDER_REGISTRY_URL` option for self-hosted
registry mirrors.
- Keep existing "From a starter template", "From an existing template",
and "From scratch" sections largely intact, but reframe them as
alternative paths.
- Update the "From a starter template" Web UI instructions to note the
new entry point routing (the "New Template" button now goes to the
builder when enabled).
- Fix existing typo: "You can the [Coder CLI]" should be "You can use
the [Coder CLI]".
#### 2. `docs/start/first-template.md`
**Current state**: Beginner tutorial walking through creating a template
from the Docker starter template via the old flow. Has a typo (`s` at
end of line 32), commented-out workspace creation section, and TODO
notes.
**Changes**:
- Rewrite steps 2 and 3 to use the Template Builder as the primary path.
- Step 2: Navigate to **Templates**, select **New Template**, which
opens the Template Builder.
- Step 3: Walk through the builder wizard steps (select Docker base,
optionally select modules like code-server, configure template
name/description, create).
- Remove the typo on line 32 (`s`).
- Keep the "Modify your template" section (step 6) intact since it
covers post-creation editing which is unchanged.
- Remove or update the reference to "Starter Templates" as a separate
page since the builder subsumes that entry point.
#### 3. `docs/get-started/index.md`
**Current state**: Quickstart guide. Step 4 says "Select **Templates** →
**New Template**" then pick "Coder Quickstart" from starter templates.
**Changes**:
- Update Step 4 to describe using the Template Builder.
- The flow becomes: Select **Templates** → **New Template** → builder
opens → select **Coder Quickstart** as the base template → optionally
add modules → set name/description → **Create Template**.
- Update the "What just happened?" explanation to mention the builder
composed and validated the Terraform.
- Screenshot reference `create-quickstart-template.png` will need a new
screenshot (note this in the PR; screenshots are out of scope for this
change but should be flagged).
### Tier 2: Secondary references (targeted edits)
#### 4. `docs/admin/templates/index.md`
**Current state**: Overview page mentioning starter templates as the
primary creation path.
**Changes**:
- Update the "Starter templates" section to mention the Template Builder
as the recommended way to create templates, with starter templates
serving as base templates within the builder.
- Update the link to point to the builder section: `[Create a template
with the template
builder](./creating-templates.md#using-the-template-builder)`.
- Update the screenshot reference and caption. The "Starter Templates"
page screenshot may no longer be the first thing admins see.
#### 5. `docs/admin/templates/managing-templates/index.md`
**Current state**: Documents starter templates, editing, updating,
deleting.
**Changes**:
- Update the "Starter templates" section to mention the Template Builder
as the primary creation path, with starter templates available as base
templates within it.
- Update the image reference from `starter-templates.png` if it shows
the old flow.
#### 6. `docs/tutorials/template-from-scratch.md`
**Current state**: Detailed tutorial for writing a template from scratch
with Terraform.
**Changes**:
- Add a brief note at the top recommending the Template Builder for
users who want to create templates without writing Terraform, with a
link to
`docs/admin/templates/creating-templates.md#using-the-template-builder`.
- In section "7. Create the template in Coder" → "Dashboard" tab, update
the UI steps. The "Upload template" option is now accessed via the old
creation flow at `/templates/new` (or through the "Upload an existing
template" link in the builder's alternatives).
- Fix the inconsistency where text says `coder templates create` but the
code block uses `coder templates push`.
#### 7.
`docs/admin/integrations/devcontainers/envbuilder/add-envbuilder.md`
**Current state**: Documents creating envbuilder templates via
Dashboard, CLI, and Registry tabs.
**Changes**:
- In the Dashboard tab, update the instructions. The "Create Template"
button now opens the builder by default. Users need to use the "Upload
an existing template" alternative link or navigate to `/templates/new`
directly.
- Update "From scratch" reference since that option is now an
alternative link in the builder.
- The CLI and Registry tabs remain unchanged.
#### 8. `docs/install/airgap.md`
**Current state**: Documents air-gapped installations. No mention of
Template Builder.
**Changes**:
- Add a note in the relevant section about the Template Builder
requiring outbound access to `registry.coder.com`.
- Document `CODER_DISABLE_TEMPLATE_BUILDER` for fully air-gapped
deployments.
- Document `CODER_TEMPLATE_BUILDER_REGISTRY_URL` for deployments using a
self-hosted registry mirror.
#### 9. `docs/about/screenshots.md`
**Current state**: Contains a caption "Template administrators can
either create a new Template from scratch or choose a Starter Template".
**Changes**:
- Update the caption to mention the Template Builder as the primary
creation method.
- Screenshot reference may need updating (flag for new screenshot).
### Tier 3: Minor/link-only updates
#### 10. `docs/admin/users/organizations.md`
- If it references the old "Create Template" screen with an org picker,
add a note that the Template Builder also includes organization
selection in its final step.
#### 11. `docs/ai-coder/tasks.md`
- If it mentions creating templates, add a passing reference to the
Template Builder as an option.
## Files NOT to update
- `docs/reference/api/templatebuilder.md`: Auto-generated API reference.
Already correct.
- `docs/reference/api/schemas.md`: Auto-generated. Already correct.
- `docs/reference/cli/server.md`: Auto-generated. Already has
`--disable-template-builder` and `--template-builder-registry-url`.
- `docs/reference/cli/templates_create.md`: Already deprecated.
- `docs/reference/cli/templates.md`: No changes needed.
## Implementation order
1. `docs/admin/templates/creating-templates.md` (primary creation docs,
most content)
2. `docs/get-started/index.md` (quickstart)
3. `docs/start/first-template.md` (beginner tutorial)
4. `docs/admin/templates/index.md` (overview)
5. `docs/admin/templates/managing-templates/index.md` (managing
overview)
6. `docs/install/airgap.md` (airgap note)
7. `docs/tutorials/template-from-scratch.md` (from-scratch tutorial)
8. `docs/admin/integrations/devcontainers/envbuilder/add-envbuilder.md`
(envbuilder)
9. `docs/about/screenshots.md` (screenshot captions)
10. Minor link/reference updates in tier 3 files
## Style notes
- Follow the Diataxis framework; keep tutorials as tutorials, reference
as reference.
- Use present tense, active voice, second person.
- Bold for UI elements: **Templates**, **New Template**, **Create
Template**.
- No emdash/endash.
- Do not add screenshots; flag where new screenshots are needed as
comments/TODOs.
- Run `make fmt/markdown` and `make lint/markdown` after all changes.
- Verify all pages are already in `docs/manifest.json` (no new pages
being added, only existing pages being updated).

docs: add a Customize your template series under Get started (#26712)
## What Adds a **Customize your template** series under the top-level **Get started** section, at `docs/get-started/customize-your-template/`. These guides extend the single-page Quickstart (added in #26821) with hands-on template customization: - **Add a programming language** — expose a language through a parameter, install it at startup, and offer it as a preset. - **Install your own command-line tools** — install personal tools with Homebrew and mise, and make them persist. - **Clone private repositories** — authenticate workspaces to GitHub with an external-auth data source. ## Changes from the earlier draft This branch was rebased onto the consolidated `/docs/get-started` structure: - Re-homed the series from `tutorials/quickstart/` to `get-started/customize-your-template/`, nested under the new Get started section. - Dropped the Part 1 launch page and the old landing page; the merged Quickstart (`get-started/index.md`, #26821) already covers them. - Archived the dotfiles guide out of the series (tracked as a follow-up to document the dotfiles module as a standalone tutorial) and removed its inbound links. - Renamed the section to **Customize your template**. - Added a Ruby **preset** alongside the Ruby parameter so the parameter and preset choices stay in sync. - Fixed the parameter-change steps to route through **Workspace settings > Parameters**. - Gave each page a **What's next?** step so the series reads as a sequence. ## Still open / follow-ups - Screenshots for the UI steps (handled separately). - The launch step will be revised after the template-builder change ships in the next mainline release. <details> <summary>Decision log</summary> - **Why re-home, not keep `tutorials/quickstart/`:** the Quickstart now lives at `/docs/get-started`, so the series belongs under the same top-level section for a single, coherent entry point. - **Why drop Part 1 here:** the launch content already merged as `get-started/index.md` in #26821; keeping a second copy would duplicate and drift. - **Why archive dotfiles:** it works better as a standalone module tutorial than as a Quickstart step; removed from the series for now and tracked for later. - **Final code fixtures** stay scoped per guide (base template plus that page's edit), so only the language guide's fixture gains the Ruby option and preset. </details> --- Generated by Coder Agents on behalf of @nickvigilante. |
