How to turn a docs URL into a cited Q&A app with Adelie

Describe a docs-expert Q&A app in one sentence and get a runnable agent app.

Short answer: Install the command line with curl -fsSL https://github.com/lmliheng/Adelie/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh on Linux or macOS, or npm install -g @adelie/cli on any platform with Node 24 or newer; then run penguin web and open the first-login link the server prints, then set the password for the built-in admin account; on the Models page, add an API key for one model provider. All steps.

Remote script. The Linux and macOS one-line installer is a curl pipe to sh, so read the script at its release URL first if your policy requires it.

Who it is forA developer or team lead who needs an internal help bot over a public documentation repo and does not want to scaffold a RAG app by hand.

The problemBuilding a retrieval-augmented Q&A app from scratch means collecting sources, wiring retrieval, adding citations and writing run instructions.

The outcomeAdelie produces the whole agent application (scaffold, code and run instructions) in one go, with retrieval-based answers that cite the source files.

What you need first

  • A computer running Windows 10+ (x64), Linux (x64), or macOS (arm64 or x64)
  • Node 24 or newer if you use the npm or from-source install
  • An API key from at least one supported model provider, entered on the Models page
  • For browser tasks: credentials for the sites you want the agent to use, imported from your own browser

Steps

  1. Install the command line with curl -fsSL https://github.com/lmliheng/Adelie/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh on Linux or macOS, or npm install -g @adelie/cli on any platform with Node 24 or newer.
  2. Run penguin web and open the first-login link the server prints, then set the password for the built-in admin account.
  3. On the Models page, add an API key for one model provider.
  4. Describe the app in one sentence, naming the docs URL and the expert persona, and ask for a RAG Q&A app with cited sources.
  5. Open the generated app, check that answers link back to the original files, and run it with the instructions Adelie returns.

Prompt for your agent

Using the Adelie repo (lmliheng/Adelie), ask the local Adelie instance to build a RAG Q&A app over <docs URL> that answers as <persona> and cites source files. Expected output: a runnable app folder with run instructions. Verify that a sample answer includes a citation that opens the original file.

Caveat. The Windows installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen shows a warning on first run, and macOS has no build yet.
