SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hugo project work is slowed by inconsistent layouts, front matter, and deployment practices. This skill defines a standardized structure and conventions to accelerate scaffolding, auditing, and maintenance of Hugo sites or themes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standard project layout: content/, layouts/, assets/, i18n/, archetypes/, and modules properly organized to support repeatable builds.
  • Front matter conventions: consistent YAML/TOML front matter across pages to enable reliable taxonomies, slugs, and metadata.
  • Template hierarchy guidance: recommended usage of baseof.html, _default templates, and module-driven theming to ensure predictable rendering.
  • Module-based deployment: Hugo Modules over git submodules for reproducible and versioned deployments.
  • Page Bundles & asset pipeline: practices for co-located content and assets, and how Hugo Pipes fit into the build.
  • Audit & scaffolding: strategies to review or scaffold Hugo sites or themes against the standard.

Quick Start

Initialize a new Hugo site with these standards to scaffold a consistent site quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions about hugo-architect

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize a Hugo static site for consistent layouts and front matter?▼

To organize a Hugo static site consistently, enforce a standardized structure using content/, layouts/, assets/, i18n/, archetypes/, and modules. This ensures repeatable builds and reliable taxonomies across pages.

What's the best way to manage Hugo modules instead of git submodules for deployment?▼

The best way to manage Hugo modules for deployment is adopting module-based versioning over git submodules. This approach ensures reproducible and versioned deployments across Hugo Extended builds.

How does Hugo page bundles and Hugo Pipes asset pipeline work together?▼

Hugo page bundles and Hugo Pipes work together by co-locating content and assets within the same directory structure. Hugo Pipes then processes these bundled assets directly during the build.

Can I use YAML front matter with Hugo template hierarchy and baseof.html?▼

Yes, you can use YAML or TOML front matter with Hugo's template hierarchy. Consistent front matter conventions enable reliable metadata extraction across baseof.html and _default templates.

Does Hugo 0.161 Extended support module-driven theming for static sites?▼

Yes, Hugo 0.161 Extended supports module-driven theming to ensure predictable rendering. Using Hugo Modules over git submodules provides reproducible and versioned deployments for static sites.

When do I need standardized front matter conventions for Hugo site scaffolding?▼

You need standardized front matter conventions for Hugo site scaffolding when you want reliable taxonomies, slugs, and metadata. Consistent YAML or TOML front matter accelerates auditing and maintenance.
