SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Projects often lack clear, actionable documentation for content authors taking over an AEM Edge Delivery Services codebase, leaving teams unsure how to use blocks, templates, configuration sheets, and publishing workflows. This skill analyzes the repository and project configuration, consolidates author-facing instructions, and produces a professional PDF handover for authors and content managers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project validation: Verifies repository is an Edge Delivery Services project and enforces required checks before proceeding.
  • Config-driven site discovery: Calls the Config Service to enumerate sites and derive DA and preview/live URLs rather than relying on local files.
  • Authoring documentation: Generates a structured AUTHOR-GUIDE.md containing blocks, templates, configuration sheets, workflows, and quick tasks, then converts it to a professional PDF for distribution.
  • Use cases: Onboarding new content authors, handing over a project to a client team, and creating repeatable authoring guides across multi-site or repoless setups.

Quick Start

Generate an authoring guide for the current project and save the final PDF to project-guides/AUTHOR-GUIDE.pdf.

Can I document blocks and configuration sheets across multiple AEM sites?▼

Yes, you can document blocks and configuration sheets across multiple AEM sites. This skill supports multi-site and repoless setups by validating the repository and using Config Service data to generate repeatable authoring guides for your projects.

Why does my AEM authoring guide generation fail before creating the PDF?▼

Authoring guide generation fails if the repository is not validated as an Edge Delivery Services project or if required checks are not met. Ensure your Config Service API access and authentication details in .claude-plugin/project-config.json are correctly configured.
