## What it is
The official starter kit template for creating documentation projects on Mintlify, written in MDX. It ships with example guide pages, navigation, customizations, API reference pages, and popular components that users copy via GitHub's 'Use this template' button and then customize.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a new documentation site for my product
- create api reference docs with mintlify
- starter template for writing developer guides in mdx
- set up docs that deploy automatically from github
- example docs project to learn mintlify components
- host product documentation with ai-assisted writing setup

## When to choose
- you are starting a fresh Mintlify documentation project and want working examples of pages, navigation, and API references
- you want a docs repo that deploys automatically to Mintlify via GitHub app integration
- you want to preview MDX docs locally with the mint CLI before publishing

## When to avoid
- you need a self-hosted documentation generator independent of the Mintlify platform
- you already have an established docs codebase and only need component references rather than a template
- you want to write plain Markdown without MDX or Mintlify-specific configuration

- domain: documentation, developer-tools, web-development
