Wiki VitePress Packager

Transform generated wiki Markdown files into a polished VitePress static site with dark theme and interactive Mermaid diagrams.

When to Activate

• User asks to "build a site" or "package as VitePress"
• User runs the /deep-wiki:build command
• User wants a browsable HTML output from generated wiki pages

VitePress Scaffolding

Generate the following structure in a wiki-site/ directory:

wiki-site/
├── .vitepress/
│   ├── config.mts
│   └── theme/
│       ├── index.ts
│       └── custom.css
├── public/
├── [generated .md pages]
├── package.json
└── index.md

Config Requirements (config.mts)

• Use withMermaid wrapper from vitepress-plugin-mermaid
• Set appearance: 'dark' for dark-only theme
• Configure themeConfig.nav and themeConfig.sidebar from the catalogue structure
• Mermaid config must set dark theme variables:

mermaid: {
  theme: 'dark',
  themeVariables: {
    primaryColor: '#1e3a5f',

Dark-Mode Mermaid: Three-Layer Fix

Layer 1: Theme Variables (in config.mts)

Set via mermaid.themeVariables as shown above.

Layer 2: CSS Overrides (custom.css)

Target Mermaid SVG elements with !important:

Layer 3: Inline Style Replacement (theme/index.ts)

Mermaid inline style attributes override everything. Use onMounted + polling to replace them:

Use setup() with onMounted, NOT enhanceApp() — DOM doesn't exist during SSR.

Click-to-Zoom for Mermaid Diagrams

Wrap each .mermaid container in a clickable wrapper that opens a fullscreen modal:

Modal CSS:

Post-Processing Rules

Before VitePress build, scan all .md files and fix:

• Replace <br/> with <br> (Vue template compiler compatibility)
• Wrap bare <T> generic parameters in backticks outside code fences
• Ensure every page has YAML frontmatter with title and description

Build

Output goes to wiki-site/.vitepress/dist/.

Known Gotchas

• Mermaid renders async — SVGs don't exist when onMounted fires. Must poll.
• isCustomElement compiler option for bare <T> causes worse crashes — do NOT use it
• Node text in Mermaid uses inline style with highest specificity — CSS alone won't fix it
• enhanceApp() runs during SSR where document doesn't exist — use setup() only
