Pushing main now rebuilds the site and force-pushes dist/ to pages. .agents/scripts/publish-pages.sh does the work. It never checks pages out: it writes a tree straight from dist/ with write-tree and commit-tree, so the working tree is untouched and a failure halfway through leaves nothing behind. The commit is parented on the current pages tip, so the branch keeps its history and a rollback is one force-push to an earlier commit -- which the script prints before it pushes. It refuses to publish when the working tree is dirty, when HEAD is not main, when HEAD is not the commit being pushed, or when any of the ten routes is missing or empty in dist/. A build can succeed and still emit a stub; that is exactly how this site would go down. The hook guards three ways. AF_PUBLISHING short-circuits it so the publisher's own push does not re-enter it forever. AF_NO_PUBLISH=1 lets you push main without publishing. And because git has no post-push hook, the publish necessarily runs before main lands -- so it first checks that the remote tip is an ancestor of what is being pushed, and skips publishing when the push could still be rejected as a non-fast-forward. Also rewrites the operations guide's rollback section, which still described merging main into pages with --ff-only. That has not been true since pages started carrying build output.

What is this project?
"AI For Dummies" — a bilingual (EN/PT-BR) presentation and workshop about working with coding agents: model routing, subagents, git worktrees, skills, rules, and verification. It is published as a static site on a self-hosted Gitea Pages Server, and it doubles as its own teaching artifact: the hands-on labs are dependency-free HTML/CSS/JS that workshop attendees point an agent at.
- Stack: Astro, static output, no runtime dependencies. The migration
recorded in
plans/astro-refactor/is complete; the hand-written pages it replaced are gone. What remains unmigrated is the editorial CSS and the review-desk modules underlegacy/, still imported by the pages that need them. - Languages: English and Brazilian Portuguese, toggled client-side
- Companion service: a Go + Kubernetes vote API, reached over
window.SKILLS_REVIEW_VOTE_API. Its source is no longer in this repository
Essential commands
pnpm run dev # http://localhost:4321/ai-for-dummies/
pnpm run build # writes dist/ — every check below reads it
bash .agents/scripts/gate.sh # the full gate: check, build, verify, audit, tokens
pnpm run verify # content + interaction contracts (scripts/verify.mjs)
node scripts/audit-ui.mjs # responsive / no-external-dependency audit
node scripts/build-skill-review.mjs # regenerate skill-reviews/improved/ from src/content/reviews/
pnpm run verify is not a formality. It is a set of 84 string-token assertions
that pin the site's real content and interactions, read from the built output.
A refactor that "passes" by deleting assertions has failed. See
.agents/context/verification.md.
Publishing
main is the source of truth. The pages branch is what the Gitea Pages Server
actually serves, and it now carries build output, not a copy of main's
tree.
Pushing main republishes the live site. The pre-push hook runs the gate,
then .agents/scripts/publish-pages.sh, which builds and force-pushes dist/
to pages. Use AF_NO_PUBLISH=1 git push to land a commit without publishing.
pages keeps its history, so rollback is a single force-push to an earlier tip;
pages-backup-2026-09-06 is the last commit of the hand-written site. The full
procedure is in docs/operations-guide.md; read
.agents/context/publishing.md before changing
it.
Never touch
public/hands-on/starter/andpublic/hands-on/rules/— lab fixtures. The exercise is that they are dependency-free vanilla HTML/CSS/JS an attendee can hand to an agent. Componentizing them destroys the lesson. They ship as static assets.submitted-skills/— other people's submitted work, reproduced verbatimskill-reviews/improved/— generated; editsrc/content/reviews/*.mdinsteaddist/,node_modules/— build output, never committedpnpm-lock.yaml— committed, but never hand-edited. Change it only as a side effect ofpnpm install. Every worktree spins up withpnpm install --frozen-lockfile, which fails outright without it.- This project is pnpm-only (
packageManagerinpackage.jsonpins the version). Never runnpm installorbun installhere — the gate rejects apackage-lock.json,yarn.lock, orbun.lockoutright. pnpm settings live inpnpm-workspace.yaml, not in apnpmfield inpackage.json; pnpm 11 ignores that field silently.

The one thing to understand first
This site's styling is not a design system today. Three near-duplicate
palettes have drifted apart (--ink exists as #172f42, #122534, and
#173044), and the @font-face rule in styles.css:1 is malformed, so the
intended Manrope/DM Mono typography has never actually rendered. "Maintain the
same styles" therefore needs a deliberate decision, not a copy-paste. Read
.agents/context/design-system.md before
touching any CSS.
