SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Teams building marketing sites, docs, portfolios, or blogs often face the overhead of bundling data and assets for a fast, static deployment. This Skill streamlines creating static exports of Next.js sites, ensuring SEO-friendly markup and predictable build outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Static export workflow: convert Next.js apps into a production-ready out/ directory for hosting on GitHub Pages, Netlify, or Vercel.
  • Content-driven templates: organize site data with YAML files (content/global.yaml, content/pages/*.yaml) for consistent content sourcing.
  • Image handling and SEO readiness: guidance for image optimization and safe SEO metadata integration.
  • Deployment-ready outputs: ready-to-publish static sites that require no server-side rendering.

Quick Start

Create a Next.js project configured for static export, populate YAML content under content/, then run the build and export steps to produce the out/ directory.
