Pricing: https://agentreadychecklist.com/pricing.md (free). # VitePress VitePress is an MIT-licensed Vue and Vite static site generator for documentation that prerenders every page to HTML, which meets AR-READ-01, and highlights code blocks, which meets AR-READ-05. A built-in sitemap turns on when sitemap.hostname is set. The project documents no llms.txt generator, though vitepress.dev publishes one for itself, and the 1.x line is quiet since August 2025. ## At a glance Type [Docs tool](https://agentreadychecklist.com/vendors/by-type/docs-tool/) Homepage [vitepress.dev](https://vitepress.dev), answered HTTP 200 on 2026-11-05 Checklist rows 7 of 31 read: **2** supported, 1 partial, 4 no statement In the crawl 2 of 5,897 home pages counted on 2026-11-04.
