Specular is tests-as-docs for Scala 3: author pages as DocSpec programs that assert
under zio-test and SSR into a static site through ascent.
Most teams adopt it as the sbt-specular plugin, which wires project meta and runs
specularSite. The libraries (specular-core, specular-zio-test, specular-site with
Mermaid Prose fences via specular-mermoid) are available when you want to compose sites by hand.
sbt plugin (typical)
// project/plugins.sbt
addSbtPlugin("rocks.earlyeffect" % "sbt-specular" % "0.11.0")
// build.sbt
enablePlugins(SpecularPlugin)
specularBuildMain := "com.example.docs.BuildSite"
specularMetaProject := Some(LocalProject("root"))
// then
sbt docs/specularSiteLibraries (optional)
