feat: add product name variable system (Phase 1 — infrastructure) by rachaelrenk · Pull Request #347 · warpdotdev/docs

rachaelrenk · 2026-07-20T20:48:37Z

Adds a hybrid variable system to make future product renames (e.g., Oz → Warp branding) a one-line change in src/data/vars.ts.

Background research and rationale: Investigate: Product Name Variables | Implementation plan

Three-phase rollout

Phase 1 — Infrastructure (this PR): Sets up the variable system. No existing content is modified. Variable values use current Oz naming.

Phase 2 — Adoption (ongoing from today): All new content authored by humans and agents uses vars for product names. Existing files are not touched yet — migrating twice before the rename is confirmed would be avoidable churn.

Phase 3 — Rename execution (when timing is confirmed): Update vars.ts values to new Warp names. Run a migration script to replace hardcoded strings in existing body prose and add import { VARS } statements. Frontmatter titles and descriptions (Option B) update automatically on next build — no script needed for those.

`src/plugins/vars-transform.ts` (new)

Vite plugin that intercepts .mdx files before any parser and substitutes {{TOKEN}} placeholders with values from VARS. Validates the frontmatter block only — if any {{TOKEN}} remains unresolved there, the build fails with a clear error and file path. Body prose can legitimately contain {{...}} patterns as code examples.

`tsconfig.json`

Adds "@data/*": ["src/data/*"] path alias alongside the existing @components/*.

`astro.config.mjs`

Imports varsTransformPlugin and registers it in vite.plugins.

`AGENTS.md`

Adds a "Content variables" section (before SEO/AEO) documenting both usage options and constraints, with a complete file-structure example showing where the import goes
Fixes 3 incorrect .warp/references/terminology.md paths → .agents/references/terminology.md

`.agents/references/terminology.md`

Adds a note at the top pointing to src/data/vars.ts and the Content variables section of AGENTS.md.

`.agents/templates/` (all 8 templates)

Every template now includes a [VARS] instruction block showing authors exactly where to add the import and how to use both option syntaxes. Since most content is agent-generated from these templates, this is the most direct enforcement path for new content.

`.agents/skills/draft_docs/SKILL.md`

Adds product name variables to the critical formatting rules (step 6.5) and the pre-publish checklist (step 9). All other draft_* skills delegate to this one, so the rule propagates to all of them automatically.

`.agents/skills/draft_feature_doc/SKILL.md`

Fixes incorrect .warp/ path references → .agents/. Adds an explicit Product name variables section.

`.agents/skills/style_lint/SKILL.md`

`.agents/skills/review-docs-pr/SKILL.md`

Adds product name variable checking as review focus item #6.

How to use

Option A — body prose (MDX imports):

Place the import immediately after the frontmatter closing ---, before any prose. Both A and B can appear in the same file.

---
title: "{{WARP_AGENT_CLI}} reference"
description: "Use the {{WARP_AGENT_CLI}} to run and manage agents."
---
import { VARS } from '@data/vars';

Use the {VARS.WARP_AGENT_CLI} to run agents from the command line.

Option B — frontmatter only (Vite transform):

---
title: Getting started with {{WARP_AGENT_CLI}}
description: Learn how to use the {{WARP_AGENT_CLI}} to run and manage agents.

This PR was generated with Oz.

Adds a hybrid variable system that makes future product renames (e.g., Oz → Warp branding) a one-line change in src/data/vars.ts. Changes: - src/data/vars.ts: single source of truth for product names and URLs. Keys are stable future-facing identifiers; values hold current Oz names. - src/plugins/vars-transform.ts: Vite plugin that substitutes {{TOKEN}} placeholders in .mdx frontmatter before any parser runs, with frontmatter-scoped validation to catch typos at build time. - tsconfig.json: adds @data/* path alias alongside @components/*. - astro.config.mjs: registers varsTransformPlugin in vite.plugins. - AGENTS.md: adds 'Content variables' section (before SEO/AEO) with Option A (MDX import) and Option B (frontmatter) usage docs; fixes three .warp/references/terminology.md paths → .agents/references/. - .agents/references/terminology.md: adds note pointing to the vars system and AGENTS.md for usage instructions. No existing .mdx content is modified — infrastructure only. Co-Authored-By: Oz <oz-agent@warp.dev>

Overview

This PR adds the first phase of a product-name variable system for the docs site, including a VARS data module, a Vite transform for frontmatter tokens, path alias support, and authoring guidance/templates. I found two correctness issues that should be fixed before merge: the transform rewrites body content while claiming body token examples are safe, and the style-lint guidance documents enforcement that the diff does not implement.

Concerns

The Vite transform performs replacement across the entire .mdx source, so known-token examples in body prose or code fences can be silently changed instead of only frontmatter being transformed.
The style-lint skill now says hardcoded product-name strings are reported, but no corresponding style_lint.py check is added in this PR.

Verdict

Found: 0 critical, 2 important, 0 suggestions

 - **Deprecated terminology**: "whitelist" (→ "allowlist"), "blacklist"/"blocklist" (→ "denylist")
 - **External product names**: "Github" (→ "GitHub"), "github actions" (→ "GitHub Actions"), "MacOS" (→ "macOS"), "A.I." (→ "AI")
 - **Unrecognized terms** (warning): Bolded terms that look like product names but aren't in `terminology.md`. Flags candidates for glossary addition — not errors, just suggestions.
+- **Hardcoded product name strings**: Product name strings that have a corresponding key in `src/data/vars.ts` but appear as literal text rather than variable syntax. Reports instances of known strings like "Oz CLI", "Oz web app", "oz.warp.dev", "Oz dashboard", "Oz run" (any value currently in `src/data/vars.ts`) in body prose and frontmatter. These are flagged as `⚠️ [IMPORTANT]` in PR context and reported (not auto-fixed) — they should use `{VARS.KEY}` in prose and `{{TOKEN}}` in frontmatter.


⚠️ [IMPORTANT] This documents hardcoded product-name strings as something style_lint.py reports, but the diff does not add the corresponding check to .agents/skills/style_lint/style_lint.py; implement the check or make this manual guidance so authors do not get a false sense of enforcement.

+      if (!id.endsWith('.mdx')) return null;
+      let result = code;
+      for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(VARS)) {
+        result = result.replaceAll(`{{${key}}}`, value as string);


⚠️ [IMPORTANT] This replaces known tokens across the entire MDX source before only validating frontmatter, so body prose or code examples that intentionally show {{WARP_AGENT_CLI}} will be rewritten to the current value; restrict substitution to the matched frontmatter block and leave the body unchanged.
