DESIGN.md
Generated as educational analysis. Inferences are hypotheses, not source-code claims.
Observation
- Observed colors: none in inline/style CSS
- Observed font families: var(--font-mono)
Inference
- Repeated tokens may indicate a shared design system; external stylesheets were not executed or downloaded.
Recommendation
- Define semantic color and type tokens before copying visual treatments.
- Validate contrast and responsive behavior in the target product context.
IA.md
Generated as educational analysis. Inferences are hypotheses, not source-code claims.
Observation
- Navigation labels: AI SDK, AI Gateway, Sandbox, Workflows, eve, Security, Content Delivery, Fluid Compute, Observability, CI/CD, Next.js, Vercel Agent, Vercel Plugin, Domains, v0, Docs, About, Blog, Changelog, Knowledge Base
- Heading outline: 5: Agent Stack · 5: Core Platform · 5: Tools · 5: Learn · 5: Build · 5: Explore · 3: Agent Stack · 3: Core Platform · 3: Tools · 3: Learn · 3: Build · 3: Explore · 1: Agentic Infrastructure · 2: Build agents on infrastructure that thinks like them · 2: Ship apps that scale from zero to millions instantly · 2: Host platforms that serve every customer · 2: Recently shipped · 2: Built by you, or your agents · 2: Agent Stack · 2: Core Platform
Inference
- Repeated navigation labels likely represent primary information architecture.
Recommendation
- Model user tasks first, then test whether this hierarchy fits them.
COMPONENTS.md
Generated as educational analysis. Inferences are hypotheses, not source-code claims.
Observation
- Observed forms: 1
- Observed calls to action: Copy Logo as SVG, Copy Wordmark as SVG, Brand Guidelines, Products, Resources, Ask AI, PluginPlugin, Cookie Preferences, Copy Logo as SVG, Copy Wordmark as SVG, Brand Guidelines, Build
Inference
- Repeated structures may be implemented as reusable components, but DOM output cannot prove source boundaries.
Recommendation
- Create components around behavior and responsibility, not visual resemblance alone.
STACK_GUESS.md
Generated as educational analysis. Inferences are hypotheses, not source-code claims.
Observation
- Next.js: /_next/
- React: react
- Next.js: /_next/
- React: react
- Contentful: contentful
- Next.js: /_next/
- React: react
- Contentful: contentful
- Sanity: sanity
Inference
- Technology detection is probabilistic because production builds can remove or disguise signatures.
Recommendation
- Verify stack choices using public engineering sources before adopting them.
ARCHITECTURE.md
Generated as educational analysis. Inferences are hypotheses, not source-code claims.
Observation
- Analyzed 3 public page(s) on vercel.com.
- Public paths: /, /kb/storage, /docs/git
Inference
- Rendering and service boundaries cannot be proven from HTML alone.
Recommendation
- Choose the smallest deployable architecture that meets latency, SEO, and data needs.
DECISIONS.md
Generated as educational analysis. Inferences are hypotheses, not source-code claims.
Observation
- Evidence base includes 3 fetched page(s).
Inference
- Visible product choices suggest tradeoffs but do not reveal the original team’s rationale.
Recommendation
- Record each decision with context, alternatives, consequences, and a review date.
BUILD_WITH_THIS.md
Generated as educational analysis. Inferences are hypotheses, not source-code claims.
Observation
- Reference site: https://vercel.com
- Most visible content themes: 5: Agent Stack · 5: Core Platform · 5: Tools · 5: Learn · 5: Build · 5: Explore · 3: Agent Stack · 3: Core Platform
Inference
- The reference patterns may be useful for products with similar user jobs, not merely a similar appearance.
Recommendation
- Start from the user problem, reuse principles selectively, and build original assets and copy.
SITEMAP.md
Generated as educational analysis. Inferences are hypotheses, not source-code claims.
Observation
- Discovered path: /
- Discovered path: /kb/storage
- Discovered path: /docs/git
Inference
- Only crawled and sitemap-discovered public URLs are represented.
Recommendation
- Treat this as a partial inventory and validate against product analytics and content ownership.
