Content Site (Blog / Docs) — W4C project template

A W4C project template. Creating a project from it generates a private copy of this repository in your namespace and starts the Startup Creator agent, which drives the build from this brief.

This repository is deliberately a brief, not a finished app: it ships the product specification, the project metadata and the seed assets; the tech stack chosen in the creation dialog decides the scaffold. Read SPEC.md for the full product contract — roles, routes, content model, flows, functional and non-functional requirements, and the acceptance criteria the work is checked against.

What ships in this repository

Path	Purpose
README.md	This file: how the template is wired and how to work in the project.
SPEC.md	The product specification and acceptance criteria — the contract to build.
.gitignore	Default ignores for dependencies, build output, local secrets and editor/OS cruft.
.editorconfig	Shared editor defaults (UTF-8, LF, indentation) for the generated project.
.w4c/template.json	Template manifest: dialog fields, starter prompt, element list (templates only).
.w4c/project.json	Project metadata committed with the repository.
.w4c/diagrams/	Excalidraw architecture diagram.
.w4c/boards/roadmap.json	Board columns and the seed tasks for the build.
.w4c/workflows/	The CI workflow to import into the workflows module.

See .w4c/README.md for the full .w4c/ contract.

Stack

The creation dialog records the chosen stack (and its skill pair stack-* + stack-*-quality). Scaffold with those skills and hold the work to their conventions and quality gates. The stack is not fixed here on purpose: the same brief is built on Astro, Nuxt 3, Next.js, Vue 3 + Quasar, Phoenix, … without changing SPEC.md. Prefer a stack that can emit static output for the published routes.

Build order

Work top-down, one layer at a time, and verify each layer before starting the next:

1. Scaffold the stack and get the empty shell running (install → dev server → commit).
2. Content model + typed validation — SPEC.md §4; a bad entry must fail the build.
3. Layouts + navigation from seeded content (§3).
4. SEO / feed / sitemap — metadata, canonical URLs, JSON-LD, sitemap, RSS, OG images.
5. Search & related content.
6. Authoring workflow — <cms> wiring, roles, draft → review → publish, scheduling.
7. Quality / performance — tests, CI, README quickstart, .env.example, Lighthouse budget, accessibility.

The full rationale and the acceptance criteria live in SPEC.md §8–§9.

Working rules

• One concern per commit, conventional messages (feat:, fix:, chore:, docs:, test:).
• The content model is the source of truth: validate front-matter at build time and fail loudly, never render an entry that does not match its ContentType.
• Never ship draft, in-review or scheduled entries to production, the sitemap or the feed.
• Every route gets a unique title, description and absolute canonical URL.
• Keep published routes static and free of client JavaScript unless the page is interactive.
• Never commit secrets — document them in .env.example instead.
• Keep docs/PLAN.md, the board and .w4c/project.json in sync as the project evolves.
