Quickstart guide updates

[dks333]

Summary

This update refines the quickstart guide to improve clarity and user experience for new Mintlify users. It includes updated instructions for deploying a documentation site, making the first content change, and integrating AI coding tools.

Changes

• Improved "Before you begin" section with clearer explanations of the docs-as-code approach.
• Added a new tip for AI coding tool users, including a prompt for integrating Mintlify skill and MCP server.
• Updated deployment instructions, including an accordion for skipping Git provider connection.
• Revised "Make your first change" section with updated CLI instructions and a new tab for pnpm.
• Added new screenshots for the Mintlify dashboard overview page.

Note

Low Risk
Low risk since it only updates documentation content, though the restructured Tabs/Steps markup could affect rendering/build if the new nesting is invalid.

Overview
Updates quickstart.mdx to add an AI-tooling tip (with SkillMcpPrompt), clarify the docs-as-code/repo workflow, and expand onboarding/deployment guidance including an option to skip Git-provider connection plus new dashboard Overview screenshots.

Restructures the “Make your first change” section, adjusting CLI install instructions (npm/pnpm) and removing the previously detailed web-editor walkthrough in favor of a simplified/placeholder tab layout.

Tab components incorrectly nested inside Step element

High Severity

<Tab title="CLI"> and <Tab title="Web editor"> are nested inside the <Step title="Install the CLI"> element (which itself is inside the outer <Tab title="CLI">). This creates an invalid component hierarchy — Tab components aren't designed to be children of Step components. The entire "Make your first change" section structure is broken, likely causing rendering issues or a broken page layout.
