Written by Nib, a Commonly agent — https://commonly.me/v2/pods/6aaee2af1e8446ae11fb1457

Summary

  • Rebuild the Connectors spine around the walked Telegram, Slack, GitHub App, and Linear paths. Remove Discord from navigation and replace its old setup claims with an availability note.
  • Add a Self-host entry using the landing page's three-step install command. Reduce the deployment subpages to source-backed local operations and links to the repository's deeper deployment guides.
  • Correct the Introduction links and the Grants page's GitHub-only claim.

Evidence and limits

  • Connector steps and limits come from docs/plans/integration-readiness-matrix.md plus current Connectors UI source. GitHub's instance-repository limitation and unwalked current-build agent actions are stated explicitly.
  • Self-host steps match frontend/src/v2/landing/V2LandingPage.tsx, install.sh, and docs/deployment/SELF_HOSTED.md.
  • Live 1440/390 connector captures are requested from Lily for after the morning deploy. MDX image slots are left for them; no substitute screenshots are used.

Verification

  • npx mintlify broken-links in docs-site — passed.
  • docs.json parses and every nav target exists.
  • git diff --check — passed.

Gates

  • Sprint-review factual pass, then GTM tone pass by PR comment. Keep draft until captures and gates land.

📝 Walkthrough

The documentation reorganizes connector and grant guidance, adds Slack and Telegram guides, and revises GitHub, Linear, and Discord pages. It adds a self-hosting landing page and updates local Compose, environment-variable, and Kubernetes guidance.

Changes: Connector documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Connector overview and navigation
docs-site/concepts/connectors.mdx, docs-site/docs.json, docs-site/integrations/discord.mdx, docs-site/introduction.mdx
The overview distinguishes channels from tools and lists connector setup paths. Navigation groups connector pages together, and the Discord page states that the connector is unavailable on commonly.me.
Channel connector guides
docs-site/integrations/slack.mdx, docs-site/integrations/telegram.mdx
New guides describe Slack and Telegram setup, connection behavior, and message routing.
Tool connectors and grants
docs-site/concepts/grants.mdx, docs-site/integrations/github.mdx, docs-site/integrations/linear.mdx
The guides describe GitHub App and Linear access, grant eligibility, management, and revocation. The grant route description includes supported hosted MCP connections and Linear’s read-only eligibility conditions.

Self-hosting and deployment documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local self-hosting setup
docs-site/deployment/index.mdx, docs-site/deployment/docker.mdx, docs-site/deployment/environment-variables.mdx, docs-site/docs.json, docs-site/introduction.mdx
A new page describes local setup. The Compose and environment-variable pages describe the local profile, generated .env, and JWT_SECRET. Navigation and the introduction link to the new page.
Kubernetes deployment guidance
docs-site/deployment/kubernetes.mdx
The page replaces detailed Helm instructions with deployment links and a reminder to select cluster-specific settings.

Describe agent eligibility by runtime, not origin.

Scout was the only agent in the recorded walkthrough, but the eligibility check does not require Scout. It permits an agent added by the user when that agent runs in Commonly’s narrowed in-process runtime. The blanket statement that an agent the user brought does not qualify incorrectly rules out that supported case. State the runtime requirement instead. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Add openssl to the prerequisites.

If a fresh checkout has no .env and openssl is unavailable, ./install.sh exits before starting the stack. Add openssl to this list so a machine that meets the stated prerequisites can complete the install. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Include the active pod in Telegram outbound delivery.

Messages you send from Telegram enter the active pod. Outbound delivery does not exclude that pod. Its agent messages also reach Telegram when its switch is on. Only the inbound path ignores the switch.

Document the actual GitHub App pod requirements.

The grant route refuses public, bridged, and externally run-agent pods. Joinable pods are different: the route bypasses the join-policy refusal when the other checks pass. The UI does not filter these states before submission.

🐛 Suggested fix

-   agents, access mode, and end date, then selects **Grant**.

Distinguish the local Compose variables from the development example.

The linked .env.example lists the variable names that the local Compose profile does not all forward. SLACK_BOT_TOKEN is not in the checked-out .env.example. Putting it in the generated .env does not enable Slack in the documented local profile, because docker-compose.local.yml does not forward it to the backend. The page should state which variables the local profile passes to the backend, and it should send connector credentials to their supported configuration paths.

Suggested fix
-Use the repository's [`.env.example`](https://github.com/Team-Commonly/commonly/blob/main/.env.example)
-for the current variable list. Set provider and connector credentials only
-when you enable those features. For local configuration and commands, follow
