InputLayer Documentation

Welcome to the InputLayer documentation. InputLayer is a streaming reasoning layer for AI systems - an incremental rules engine with vector search, graph traversal, and explainable derivation traces.

Documentation Structure

All documentation content lives in docs/content/ as MDX files - this is the single source of truth.

Authoring

Edit files in docs/content/. Navigation is controlled by _meta.json files in each directory.

Viewing

Method	URL
GUI (InputLayer Studio)	Navigate to /docs in the GUI - works without a server connection
GitHub Pages	Deployed automatically on push to main
Local dev	cd docs/site && npm install && npm run dev

Renderers

• Nextra site (docs/site/) - Static site for GitHub Pages. Copies content at build time.
• GUI docs viewer (gui/scripts/bundle-docs.mjs) - Bundles content into the GUI at build time.

Syntax Highlighting

Code blocks with ```iql get syntax highlighting via a TextMate grammar at docs/grammars/iql.tmLanguage.json.
