* refactor(dev): remove the minimal-registry escape hatch `dev:minimal` existed because the tool registry was 71-82% of every workspace route's module graph and aliasing it away was the only way to make dev bearable. The metadata work removed that reason, so the hatch now buys almost nothing: before this stack 31.7s -> 20.0s cold (-37%) after this stack 22.9s -> 20.7s cold (-10%) A 10% cold-compile win, on the run that happens once — restarts are ~4.2s either way — is not worth what it costs. `tools/registry.minimal.ts` and `blocks/registry-maps.minimal.ts` are 283 lines of hand-curated duplicates of the real registries that **nothing keeps in sync** (no lint, no CI check, no test); they are correct today only because someone remembered. And the mode is actively misleading: it silently drops ~250 services and ~280 blocks, so anything reproduced under it may not reproduce for real. Removes both files, the `SIM_DEV_MINIMAL_REGISTRY` branch from `next.config.ts` (including the whole `webpack()` hook, which existed only for this), and the `dev:minimal` / `dev:full:minimal-registry` scripts. Verified after removal: `tsc` clean, boundary + metadata + skills + monorepo gates pass, and `next dev` starts and serves the canvas at 22.6s cold / HTTP 200. * fix(setup): stop the wizard offering the removed minimal-registry mode The setup wizard prompted for a dev server on machines under 16GB and **defaulted** to `dev:full:minimal-registry` — a script this stack deletes. Anyone running `bun run setup` on a low-RAM machine would have accepted the default and hit "Script not found", which is exactly the contributor the mode existed to help. Repointed at `dev:full:capped`, which still exists and caps Node at 4GB without dropping ~250 integrations — a strictly better answer to the same question. The hints were also stale: they warned the full registry "can use 4-5GB+ on its own", which was true when a dev server sat at 11.5GB. It now sits at ~4GB, so they say that instead. Missed by an earlier sweep because the pattern searched for `dev:minimal` and `registry.minimal`, and this string is `dev:full:minimal-registry` — the two halves reversed. Re-swept across every file type for all spellings: zero references remain. Also audited every script value the wizard can return, so the class of bug is checked, not just this instance.
Integration documentation generator
generate-docs.ts compiles the per-service integration pages under
apps/docs/content/docs/en/integrations/ from the block/tool/trigger registry in
apps/sim. The ontology it encodes: everything is a block, and an integration is one
block that has Actions and, optionally, a Trigger.
Golden rule: the generated
.mdxfiles are derived artifacts, not the source of truth. Do not hand-edit them — your changes are overwritten on the next run. The only editable region is theMANUAL-CONTENTblock (see below). To change what a page says, edit the TypeScript inapps/simand regenerate.
Where an integration lives canonically
For a service like Gmail, three TS sources define it:
| Source | What it is | What it feeds in the page |
|---|---|---|
apps/sim/blocks/blocks/<service>.ts |
The block: type, name, category (tools for integrations), bgColor, config sub-blocks, tools.access (which actions it exposes), an optional triggers capability, outputs |
Header / BlockInfoCard, Usage Instructions, and which actions + trigger appear |
apps/sim/tools/<service>/*.ts |
Each action's params + outputs | Every ### <action> → #### Input / #### Output under ## Actions |
apps/sim/triggers/<provider>/ |
The trigger's config fields + outputs | The ## Triggers section |
apps/sim/components/icons.tsx |
The brand glyph | The page icon |
The block references actions by id in tools.access; the generator looks each one up in
apps/sim/tools/.
What the generator does
Run with cd apps/sim && bun run generate-docs (or bun run scripts/generate-docs.ts
from the repo root). One pass (generateAllBlockDocs):
- Copies icons
apps/sim/components/icons.tsx→apps/docs/components/icons.tsxand buildsapps/docs/components/ui/icon-mapping.ts. - Block pass — for each integration block (
category: 'tools', plus thememory/knowledge/tableexceptions), writesintegrations/<service>.mdx:BlockInfoCard+ Usage Instructions +## Actions. - Trigger pass (
generateAllTriggerDocs) — readsapps/sim/triggers/<provider>/and appends a## Triggerssection to that service's page, or writes a standalone page for trigger-only services. - Writes
integrations/meta.jsonand regenerates the landing page'sintegrations.json.
Hand-written pages it never touches
Core block pages (blocks/*), the native trigger pages (triggers/{start,schedule,webhook,rss,table}),
the integrations overview (integrations/index.mdx), and the service-account pages are
fully hand-written. The generator skips them via HANDWRITTEN_INTEGRATION_DOCS,
HANDWRITTEN_TRIGGER_DOCS, and SKIP_TRIGGER_PROVIDERS. Add a page name to those sets if
you hand-author a page the generator would otherwise produce.
Manual content (the one editable region)
Each generated page may carry hand-written prose inside marker comments. The generator preserves anything between the markers and overwrites everything else, so this survives every regeneration:
{/* MANUAL-CONTENT-START:intro */}
[AgentMail](https://agentmail.to/) is an API-first email platform…
{/* MANUAL-CONTENT-END */}
Supported section names: intro (after the BlockInfoCard — the most common),
usage, configuration, outputs, notes. The merge is by marker name
(extractManualContent + mergeWithManualContent), so a section is re-inserted at the
matching spot in the freshly generated structure.
If you move the output folder, reseed manual content from the old location first — the generator only preserves markers it finds in the existing output file, so a fresh folder starts with none.
Practical: to change…
- An action's params/outputs, a trigger, or to add a service → edit
apps/sim/{blocks,tools,triggers}and re-run the generator. - A page's prose intro → edit its
MANUAL-CONTENT:introblock directly; it survives regen. - The overview / service-account / core-block / native-trigger pages → hand-edit freely.
Gotchas
- Never hand-edit
apps/docs/components/icons.tsx— step 1 overwrites it from the sim app. Components that need an icon the sim app lacks should define it locally or uselucide-react(seecomponents/workflow-preview/block-icons.tsx). - The generator is the source of truth for
integrations/and itsmeta.json; manual edits there are transient.
CI
The generator runs in CI on pushes to the main branch and commits the regenerated docs
back. Keep block/tool/trigger metadata accurate in apps/sim and the docs follow.
