Documentation

Start with the project README. Then:

These pages are also published as a website at https://daniilki.github.io/pali-canon-claude/, built by scripts/build-site.mjs and the “Docs site” workflow (.github/workflows/pages.yml). The site goes live only after a maintainer turns on GitHub Pages once: repository Settings → Pages → Build and deployment → Source: GitHub Actions. Until then the address returns 404 and the first workflow run fails at the Pages setup step.
