Rewrites the RAG chatbot example to retrieve answers from local Markdown documents instead of a hardcoded knowledge base, and aligns the quick-start docs with what the app generator actually produces.
The retriever now scans documents/*.md, splits files by Markdown heading, ranks sections by keyword overlap, and returns the top three matches with their source file and heading.
Matched { source, section } entries are stored in the operation context under references and included in the text sent to the model.
Adds sample documents and unit tests for the Markdown search, and updates the example README so citations point to the new files.
Written for commit d9a8eee. Summary will update on new commits.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
The RAG chatbot example now searches local Markdown documents and uses relevant sections to answer questions. Answers include references to their source documents, and the example reports when no matching content is found.
Documentation
Updated setup guidance to require Node.js 20 or newer and explain where to add provider API keys when skipping the setup prompt.
Added details about the chatbot’s document search and references, plus introductory information about agents, tools, and workflows.

Review comments at @examples/with-rag-chatbot/src/index.ts:
- Around line 19-20: Update the message-to-query handling before searchMarkdown
so that when the final message’s content is an array, it extracts and joins its
text parts instead of producing an empty query; preserve the existing
string-content behavior.
Review comments at @examples/with-rag-chatbot/src/markdown-search.test.mjs:
- Line 4: Update the test setup for searchMarkdown so Node.js 20 loads the
TypeScript module through the installed tsx loader, or import the built
JavaScript after a build; do not rely on Node.js 20 loading the .ts import
directly.
Review comments at @examples/with-rag-chatbot/src/markdown-search.ts:
- Around line 45-47: Update the section parsing around `heading`, `title`, and
`content` to distinguish actual Markdown headings from ordinary first lines.
When the first line is not a heading, keep the full trimmed section as `content`
and use `filename` as the title; preserve the existing title and body behavior
for sections with headings.
Review comments at
@packages/create-voltagent-app/templates/base/README.md.template:
- Line 33: Update the API-key setup note in the Installation section to
distinguish the two paths: `create-voltagent-app` creates `.env`, while users
who cloned the project must create `.env` manually before adding their provider
API key.
Review comments at @README.md:
- Line 83: Update the Node.js version badge in the generated README template to
show >=20, matching the Quick Start prerequisite and the repository’s declared
requirement.

Walkthrough
The Quick Start and generated-app instructions now describe Node.js, observability, model, and .env setup. The RAG chatbot example searches local Markdown sections, ranks matches, records source references, and uses retrieved content in agent responses.
Changes: Setup guidance
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Quick Start and generated-app setup README.md, packages/create-voltagent-app/templates/base/README.md.template
The Quick Start specifies Node.js 20 or newer and adds LibSQL observability and VoltOps setup. The example uses the openai/gpt-4o-mini model identifier. The generated-app instructions state that the CLI creates .env.
RAG chatbot
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Example setup and searchable content examples/with-rag-chatbot/README.md, examples/with-rag-chatbot/documents/*
The README describes setup and keyword-based retrieval. The Markdown documents provide searchable information about VoltAgent, tools, workflows, and retrieval references.
Markdown search and ranking examples/with-rag-chatbot/src/markdown-search.ts, examples/with-rag-chatbot/src/markdown-search.test.mjs
The new search utility splits Markdown files into heading-based sections, scores title and body matches, and returns ranked results. Tests cover a matching query and a query with no results.
KnowledgeBaseRetriever searches the Markdown files, stores source and section references in retrieval context, and returns formatted results or a no-results message.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "Rag markdown retrieval" matches the main change. The PR replaces the hardcoded knowledge base in the RAG chatbot example with a retriever that searches local Markdown documents, splits them by heading, and ranks sections by keyword overlap. The title is short and specific. It does not name the example or the docs changes, which is acceptable because it covers the primary change.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description keeps the full repository template, but most template fields are still empty. All checklist items are unchecked, including linked issues, tests, docs, and changesets. The "What is the current behavior?" and "What is the new behavior?" sections have no content. The "fixes (issue)" line has no issue number. The auto-generated cubic summary does describe the change in general terms, but the author did not complete the required sections.
Resolution
Complete the template sections. Link the related issue in place of the "(issue)" placeholder, or state that no issue exists. Describe the current behavior, where the chatbot uses a hardcoded knowledge base and the quick-start docs do not match the generator. Describe the new behavior, where the retriever searches Markdown files in documents/ and returns the top three matches. Update the checklist to show which items apply. State whether tests and docs were added. The test file src/markdown-search.test.mjs and the updated READMEs suggest these are done, but the checklist must reflect that. Confirm whether a changeset was added, and add one if the package changes need a release note.

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2.

Preserve content in Markdown files without headings.
When a .md file has no heading, this code treats its first line as a title. A one-line document then has empty content and cannot appear in search results. The example permits users to add .md files without requiring headings. Keep the full section as content when the first line is not a heading. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

45 - 47:
Update the section parsing around `heading`, `title`, and `content` to
distinguish actual Markdown headings from ordinary first lines. When the first
line is not a heading, keep the full trimmed section as `content` and use
`filename` as the title; preserve the existing title and body behavior for
sections with headings.

Document .env creation for cloned projects.
The Installation section supports cloning a project, but this line only covers projects created by the generator. The {{envConfig}} block does not create .env, so cloned projects can start without the provider API key. Tell users to create .env manually when they use the clone path. The template documents both paths. (github.com)

Update the API-key setup note in the Installation section to distinguish the two
paths: `create-voltagent-app` creates `.env`, while users who cloned the project
must create `.env` manually before adding their provider API key.

Align the Node.js version requirements.
The Quick Start says Node.js 20 or newer, but the generated README still shows a >=22 badge while its prerequisite says 20+. The repository and create-voltagent-app package both declare Node.js >=20, so the badge is misleading. Update the template badge to >=20 or use one version consistently across the setup documents.
