### Create shared content for multiple versions
### Create content locally
Use the `yarn docs:create` command with your AI agent tool to scaffold frontmatter and generate new content.
- The `yarn docs:create` command generates a prompt file from a draft and your product selections.
- AI agents (`claude`, Copilot Agent mode, `codex`) can use the prompt file to generate content and frontmatter.
> \[!Tip]
>
> `docs-v2` contains custom configuration for agents like Claude and Copilot Agent mode.
<!-- Coming soon: generate content from an issue with labels -->
### Generate content and frontmatter from the command line
#### Example
Navigate to the page you want to edit on `https://docs.influxdata.com`--for example, <https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb3/core/>
```console
yarn docs:create <draft-path> Create from draft
yarn docs:create <url> Create page at URL
yarn docs:create --url <url> Create page at URL
yarn docs:create --url <url> --draft <path> Create at URL with draft content
yarn docs:create --url url1 --url url2 Process multiple URLs
<draft-path> Path to draft markdown file (positional argument)
<url> Documentation URL (positional, if starts with / or
contains docs.influxdata.com)
--draft <path> Path to draft markdown file
--from <path> Alias for --draft
--url <url> Documentation URL (can specify multiple times)
--urls <list> Comma-separated list of URLs
--context-only Stop after context preparation
(for non-Claude tools)
```
### Generate content and frontmatter from a draft
1. Run the `docs:create` command with the path to your draft file.

- If run in a Claude Code prompt, it generates content and frontmatter based on the draft and the products you select.
- If run in your shell, it generates a prompt for use with any agent (Claude, Copilot Agent mode, OpenAI GPT).
1. Open a Claude Code prompt:
```bash
yarn docs:create --draft .context/drafts/"Upgrading Enterprise 3 (draft).md"
claude code
```
2. [Review, commit, and create a pull request](#review-commit-and-create-a-pull-request)
2. In the prompt, run the `docs:create` command with the path to your draft file.
```bash
yarn docs:create .context/drafts/"Upgrading Enterprise 3 (draft).md"
```
3. When prompted, select the products to associate with the content.
The script first generates a prompt file, then the agent automatically uses it to generate content and frontmatter based on the draft and the products you select.

2. When prompted, select the products to associate with the content.
The script generates a prompt file and returns the file path.
3. Provide the prompt file to your preferred agent (`claude`, Copilot Agent mode, `codex`) to generate content and frontmatter based on the draft and the products you selected.
