 When pushed to `main`, a [github workflow](../../.github/workflows/generate_api_ref.yml) checks for diffs in the [packages](../../packages) folder, and if any are found, the API reference generator is run and the result is auto-commited the incoming branch.
 
 Finally, when building or running the dev server, a [prebuild](./prebuild.js) step is run beforehand to generate the API reference TOCs and routes in the [api-reference](./src/app/(docs)/docs/api-reference) directory. This can also be run manually using `npm run prebuild`.

+note: sometimes you may see uncommited changes or untracked files in the [api-reference](./src/app/(docs)/docs/api-reference) directory, this is fine and the files can be ignored.
