Main

If you’re evaluating Strands Agents, use this doc repo as a “single source of truth”:

• Keep it pinned in your monorepo as a git submodule or a docs mirror for team onboarding.
• Grep for key concepts (tools, memory, MCP) to standardize terminology across your agents.
• When you find gaps, contribute improvements—doc PRs are often easier than code PRs and still high impact.

README excerpt (verbatim)

Strands Agents Documentation

A model-driven approach to building AI agents in just a few lines of code.

Documentation ◆ Samples ◆ Python SDK ◆ Tools ◆ Agent Builder ◆ MCP Server

This repository contains the documentation for the Strands Agents SDK, a simple yet powerful framework for building and running AI agents. The documentation is built using Astro with the Starlight theme and provides guides, examples, and API references.

The official documentation is available online at: https://strandsagents.com.

Local Development

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• Node.js 20+, npm

Setup and Installation

npm install

Building and Previewing

Generate the static site:

npm run build

Run a local development server at http://localhost:4321/:

npm run dev

Writing Documentation

Documentation lives in docs/ as Markdown files. The site structure is driven by src/config/navigation.yml (navigation) and rendered by Astro at build time.

• Pages are written in standard Markdown — no Astro-specific syntax needed for content edits
• Use <Tabs> / <Tab label="..."> for language-switching code blocks (auto-imported, no import needed)

FAQ

Q: Is this the SDK itself? A: No—this repo is the documentation site; README links to SDK repos and samples.

Q: How do I run it locally? A: README shows npm install then npm run dev to serve at port 4321.

Q: Why clone docs instead of browsing the website? A: Cloning enables offline access, grep across guides, and PR-based contributions.
