FAQPage Schema
How do I find reference implementations for AEM blocks?

Search the Block Collection and Block Party to discover Adobe-vetted and community-driven block implementations. The Skill queries both sources, applies optional category filtering, and returns structured results with live examples, code URLs, and metadata to accelerate your development.

Can I search for specific block patterns across multiple sources?

Yes. The Skill performs multi-source search across the Block Collection (via GitHub API and navigation) and the Block Party index, differentiating default-content from real blocks and outputting a unified JSON payload with all relevant code patterns and integration examples.

What's the fastest way to find code snippets for a new block I'm building?

Query the Block Collection and Block Party by block type or feature name. The Skill instantly retrieves high-quality reference implementations, Sidekick plugins, and build tool patterns, eliminating hours of manual research and letting you adapt proven best practices immediately.

Does this work with community-contributed blocks or only Adobe's official ones?

Both. The Skill searches Adobe's official Block Collection and the Block Party, a community-driven index, giving you access to vetted Adobe patterns alongside community-contributed tools, plugins, and code snippets for comprehensive reference discovery.

Can I filter block search results by category?

Yes. The Skill supports optional category filtering to narrow results, helping you quickly isolate relevant blocks within your specific use case instead of wading through unrelated implementations.

What output formats does the search return?

Structured JSON payloads containing liveExampleUrl, code URLs, and metadata for each block result, enabling you to programmatically parse, integrate, or display block references in your workflow.
