SKILL.md

name: hugo description: > review, design, scaffold, refactor, and troubleshoot hugo sites and themes. use when the user asks for hugo content structure, layouts, taxonomies, shortcodes, themes, assets, build configuration, multilingual publishing, or migration guidance.

Use this skill to keep Hugo work grounded in maintainable architecture, predictable delivery, and framework-appropriate conventions.

Intent Router

Need	Load
core conventions, structure, review priorities, and common red flags for Hugo	`references/best-practices.md`
setup, migration, testing, build, delivery, and day-two workflow guidance for Hugo	`references/workflows.md`

Quick Start

Confirm Hugo version and theme posture, content bundle strategy, multilingual or taxonomy needs, and deployment host and URL constraints.
Identify whether the task is greenfield scaffolding, incremental refactoring, troubleshooting, migration planning, or code review.
Apply the defaults in references/best-practices.md before proposing custom architecture.
Prefer the smallest change set that improves clarity, safety, operability, and long-term maintainability.

Workflow

start from content ownership and URL strategy
keep layouts layered and override-friendly
document shortcode and taxonomy rules
verify local preview and deploy output after structural changes

Typical Focus Areas

Hugo version and theme posture
content bundle strategy
multilingual or taxonomy needs
deployment host and URL constraints

Outputs to Prefer

summarize theme, content-model, and deployment constraints first
group findings by content bundles, layouts, shortcodes, taxonomies, and publishing flow
protect URLs and editorial workflows during cleanup

First Response Pattern

restate the Hugo version, theme posture, content-bundle model, and deployment URL constraints before suggesting changes
anchor the plan at content ownership, layout override order, and URL strategy
name the verification loop up front: hugo server, hugo --gc --minify, and inspection of the affected generated URLs and assets

Common Requests

Review this Hugo site structure for content modeling, layouts, shortcodes, and build hygiene.

Help refactor a Hugo site toward clearer content bundles and easier theme overrides.

Safety Notes

preserve externally visible behavior unless the user explicitly requests a redesign or a breaking change
avoid style-only churn when the current repository already has working conventions and automation
