Website Update Skill

Automated workflow for keeping the fwdslsh website synchronized with project repositories.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Projects have been updated and website documentation needs to reflect changes
• Version numbers on the website are outdated
• New features need to be documented on the website
• Monthly/quarterly full website sync is due
• User explicitly requests website update or sync

Trigger phrases:

• "update the website"
• "sync the website with latest projects"
• "check if website needs updating"
• "website documentation is outdated"

Skill Overview

This skill automates the discovery and analysis phases of website synchronization, then guides through manual content updates following a structured workflow.

Modes

1. Full Sync (4-8 hours)

• Reviews all projects
• Updates all affected pages
• Comprehensive analysis

2. Targeted Sync (1-3 hours)

• Reviews specific projects only
• Updates related pages only
• Focused updates

Prerequisites

Before running this skill:

• Clean git working directory (no uncommitted changes)
• Located in website directory
• All project repositories accessible
• npm dependencies installed

Execution Steps

Phase 1: Automated Discovery (15-30 minutes)

Step 1.1: Check Current Status

Run the automated discovery script:

cd /home/founder3/code/github/fwdslsh/website
./scripts/full-sync.sh

Expected Output:

• Project information extracted to website-sync/
• Change detection report
• Version synchronization status
• Summary report generated

Step 1.2: Review Discovery Reports

Read the generated reports:

# Overall summary
cat website-sync/sync-summary-*.md

# Project-specific info
ls -la website-sync/*-info.md

# Change details
cat website-sync/changes-detected-*.md

Decision Point: Based on reports, determine:

• Are there changes? → Continue to Phase 2
• No changes? → Stop, website is up to date
• Version mismatches only? → Quick targeted sync

Phase 2: Analysis & Planning (30-60 minutes)

Step 2.1: Identify Affected Pages

For each changed project, identify website pages to update:

Project → Page Mapping:

disclose → src/disclose/index.html
          src/disclose/getting-started.html
          src/disclose/docs.html
          src/disclose/examples.html
          src/index.html (tool card)
          src/ecosystem/index.html

gather → src/gather/index.html
        src/gather/getting-started.html
        src/gather/docs.html
        src/gather/examples.html
        src/index.html (tool card)
        src/ecosystem/index.html

dispatch → src/dispatch/index.html
          src/dispatch/getting-started.html
          src/dispatch/docs.html
          src/dispatch/examples.html
          src/index.html (tool card)
          src/ecosystem/index.html

# Similar mappings for other projects

Step 2.2: Create Update Checklist

Generate a prioritized checklist:

# Website Update Checklist
Date: [YYYY-MM-DD]
Projects: [list]

## Critical (Do First)
- [ ] [Project]: Update version number (5min)
- [ ] [Project]: Fix incorrect commands (10min)

## High Priority
- [ ] [Project]: Add new feature section (30min)
- [ ] [Project]: Update command reference (45min)

## Medium Priority
- [ ] [Project]: Refresh examples (1hr)
- [ ] [Project]: Update integration docs (1hr)

## Low Priority
- [ ] [Project]: Polish descriptions (30min)

Total Time: [X hours]

Step 2.3: Prepare Content Outlines

For each page to update, create outline:

# Update Outline: [project]/[page]

## Current State
[Brief description]

## Required Changes
1. Section: [Name]
   - Current: [text]
   - New: [text]
   - Source: [project README/CLAUDE.md]

2. Section: [Name]
   - Action: [Add|Update|Remove]
   - Content: [outline]

## Examples to Update
- Old: `old command`
- New: `new command`

Phase 3: Implementation (2-5 hours)

Step 3.1: Create Feature Branch

git checkout -b website-sync-$(date +%Y%m%d)

Step 3.2: Update Pages Systematically

For each item in checklist:

1. Read current content:

cat src/[project]/[page].html

2. Read source material:

cat ../core/packages/[project]/README.md
cat ../core/packages/[project]/CLAUDE.md

3. Make changes: Edit files following content guidelines (see docs/content-guidelines.md)

4. Verify changes:

git diff src/[project]/[page].html

5. Test build:

npm run build

6. Commit incrementally:

git add src/[project]/[page].html
git commit -m "docs: update [project]/[page] - [description]"

Common Update Patterns:

Pattern A: Version Number

sed -i 's/v0\.1\.0/v0\.2\.0/g' src/[project]/index.html

Pattern B: Feature List

<!-- Add new feature -->
<li>Feature C - New in v0.2.0</li>

Pattern C: Command Examples

<pre class="code-snippet">$ new-command --flag value
$ updated-command --new-option</pre>

Pattern D: Tool Card (Home Page)

<div class="tool-card">
  <div class="tool-header">
    <div class="tool-icon">[letter]</div>
    <div>
      <h3>[tool]</h3>
      <div class="subtitle">[updated subtitle]</div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <p>[updated description]</p>
  <pre class="code-snippet">$ [updated commands]</pre>
  <p><strong>Why we built it:</strong> [updated reason]</p>
  <div class="tool-links">
    <a href="/[tool]">Documentation →</a>
    <a href="https://github.com/fwdslsh/website/blob/main/[github-url]">GitHub →</a>
  </div>
</div>

Phase 4: Verification (30-60 minutes)

Step 4.1: Build Verification

npm run build

Expected: No errors, clean build

Step 4.2: Version Check

./scripts/check-version-sync.sh

Expected: All versions match

Step 4.3: Link Validation

./scripts/validate-links.sh

Expected: No broken links

Step 4.4: Visual Review

npm run dev

Then manually check:

• Home page renders correctly
• Updated tool pages work
• Navigation functional
• Mobile responsive
• No console errors

Phase 5: Deployment (30 minutes)

Step 5.1: Final Commit

git log --oneline -10
git push origin website-sync-$(date +%Y%m%d)

Step 5.2: Create Pull Request (if using)

Title: docs: website sync - [date]

Body:

## Summary
Synchronized website with latest project changes.

## Projects Updated
- **[Project A]**: v0.1.0 → v0.2.0

## Changes
- [X] Project pages updated
- [X] Home page refreshed
- [X] Versions synchronized

## Testing
- [x] Build successful

Step 5.3: Deploy

Follow project-specific deployment process.

Step 5.4: Record Sync

echo "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" > website-sync/last-sync.log

Agent Guidance

Information Sources Priority

When updating content, reference in this order:

1. README.md - Primary features and usage
2. package.json - Version and metadata
3. CHANGELOG.md - Recent changes
4. CLAUDE.md - Architecture and patterns
5. docs/ directory - Detailed documentation

Content Guidelines

Tone: Technical but accessible, focused on problems solved

Code Examples:

• Use real, tested commands
• Show expected output when helpful
• Use $ for shell prompts

Formatting:

• Maintain existing HTML structure
• Use semantic tags (h2, h3, p, ul, etc.)
• Follow project's indentation style

Key Sections:

• Installation instructions
• Quick start example
• Feature list
• Command reference
• Integration examples

Decision Points

Q: Changes detected but not significant? A: Update only version numbers and minor text, skip full content refresh.

Q: Major breaking changes? A: Add prominent notice, update all examples, document migration path.

Q: New features added? A: Create new section, add to feature list, provide examples.

Q: Examples need updating? A: Test commands first, verify output, then update.

Q: Unsure about technical accuracy? A: Flag for project maintainer review, don't guess.
