It exists so a content-heavy app has <em>one</em> registry\ninstead of two readers that drift — route modules reading source through Vite,\nand sitemap/<code>llms.txt</code>/search plugins scanning the filesystem again.\n<code>@pracht/markdown</code> is the opinionated Markdown route-module compiler on top of\nit (<code>packages/markdown/README.md</code>).</p>\n<p>Nothing here is on by default: adding a collection publishes no source and\ncreates no agent surface until you add artifacts or capabilities.</p>\n<h2>Step 1: Pick the shape</h2>\n<p>Ask with <code>AskUserQuestion</code> when it is not obvious from the repo:</p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Situation</th>\n<th>Wiring</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Markdown/MDX files that should <em>be</em> pages</td>\n<td><code>@pracht/markdown</code> → <code>defineMarkdownCollection()</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Content that feeds loaders, search, or an API — never a page</td>\n<td><code>@pracht/content</code> → <code>defineCollection()</code> with <code>unroutedDocuments: \"ignore\"</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>An app-specific compiler (custom AST, page model, search record)</td>\n<td><code>defineCollection({ compile, module })</code></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Also settle: collection root directory, <code>routeBase</code>, whether documents are\nlocalized, and whether relative images appear in the Markdown.</p>\n<h2>Step 2: Install</h2>\n<pre><code>pnpm add @pracht/content\npnpm add @pracht/markdown @pracht/image   # Markdown route modules\npnpm add -D sharp                          # only when documents embed local images\n</code></pre>\n<p><code>sharp</code> runs at build/dev time only and never ships to a runtime bundle.</p>\n<h2>Step 3: Define the collection outside the vite config</h2>\n<p>Put the collection in its own module (<code>content.ts</code>) so the vite config, build\nplugins, and tests import the same object:</p>\n<pre><code>// content.ts\nimport { llmsTxtArtifacts, rawContentArtifacts } from \"@pracht/content\";\nimport { defineMarkdownCollection } from \"@pracht/markdown\";\n\nexport const docs = defineMarkdownCollection({\n  name: \"docs\",\n  root: new URL(\"./src/routes/docs\", import.meta.url),\n  routeBase: \"/docs\",\n  // locales: { default: \"en\", supported: [\"en\", \"fr\"] },\n  // images: { placeholder: \"blur\" },      // default \"empty\" — keeps CSP unchanged\n  // snapshot: { raw: false },             // drop a representation you never read\n  artifacts: [\n    rawContentArtifacts({ path: (document) =&gt; `${document.path}.md` }),\n    llmsTxtArtifacts({\n      title: \"Product docs\",\n      origin: \"https://example.com\",\n      sections: [{ heading: \"Docs\", match: \"/docs\" }],\n    }),\n  ],\n});\n</code></pre>\n<p>Without <code>sources</code>, the registry scans <code>root</code> recursively for <code>.md</code>/<code>.mdx</code>;\n<code>index</code> files collapse to their directory. Pass explicit\n<code>{ id, path, source, locale }</code> entries when routes must not be inferred.\nDuplicate ids, routes, sources, or artifact paths throw at definition time\nrather than letting file order pick a winner.</p>\n<h2>Step 4: Register the plugins (order matters)</h2>\n<pre><code>// vite.config.ts\nimport { prachtContent } from \"@pracht/content/vite\";\nimport { prachtImage } from \"@pracht/image/vite\";\nimport { pracht } from \"@pracht/vite-plugin\";\nimport { defineConfig } from \"vite\";\nimport { docs } from \"./content\";\n\nexport default defineConfig({\n  plugins: [\n    prachtContent({ collections: [docs] }), // one call, every collection\n    prachtImage(),                          // relative Markdown images\n    pracht(),\n  ],\n});\n</code></pre>\n<p>Register <strong>all</strong> collections through a single <code>prachtContent()</code> call — the\nplugin owns one internal build manifest and rejects a second registration.</p>\n<h2>Step 5: Point routes at the documents</h2>\n<p>Markdown modules are ordinary route modules (they export <code>Component</code>, <code>head()</code>,\nand the raw <code>markdown</code> string for <code>Accept: text/markdown</code> negotiation):</p>\n<pre><code>route(\"/docs/routing\", () =&gt; import(\"./routes/docs/routing.md\"), {\n  id: \"routing\",\n  render: \"ssg\",\n});\n</code></pre>\n<p>Sources and routes are still two readers, so <code>pracht build</code> reconciles them and\nnames every document (and generated locale alias) that no route serves — a\ndocument without a route still reaches <code>llms.txt</code> and <code>rawContentArtifacts()</code>\nwhile the page answers 404. The default policy is <code>\"warn\"</code>:</p>\n<pre><code>prachtContent({ collections: [docs], unroutedDocuments: \"error\" });\n</code></pre>\n<p>Use <code>\"error\"</code> for a docs site, <code>\"ignore\"</code> for a data-only collection. On a\nstatic export a dynamic SSG route only covers the concrete paths\n<code>getStaticPaths()</code> returns, and a dynamic SPA route only covers deep links when\n<code>staticAdapter({ fallback })</code> emits one. <code>pracht verify</code> cannot do this check —\nit reads the vite config as text — so run a build before believing the routing\nis complete.</p>\n<h2>Step 6: Read the collection at request time</h2>\n<p>Loaders, middleware, API routes, and capabilities must import the <strong>generated\nsnapshot</strong>, not the filesystem-backed authoring object:</p>\n<pre><code>import { contentLoader } from \"@pracht/content/runtime\";\nimport docs from \"virtual:pracht/content/docs\";\n\nexport const loader = contentLoader(docs, {\n  select: (document) =&gt; ({ html: document.compiled, title: document.frontmatter.title }),\n});\n</code></pre>\n<ul>\n<li>The virtual module is <strong>server-only</strong>; a retained client import fails the\nbuild instead of shipping source, frontmatter, and compiled values to the\nbrowser.</li>\n<li>Every accessor is async: each document's <code>raw</code>/<code>body</code>/<code>compiled</code> lives in its\nown deferred chunk, so the first content-backed request does not parse the\nwhole collection. <code>iterate()</code> streams one document at a time; <code>all()</code> loads\neverything.</li>\n<li><code>contentLoader()</code> uses the matched, base-free <code>pathname</code>, and answers\nunmatchable pathnames (<code>/docs/%2e%2e</code>) with its not-found path instead of\nfailing the request.</li>\n<li><code>markdownRepresentation(document, \"raw\" | \"body\")</code> produces the server-only\n<code>markdown</code> export for content negotiation — it throws when <code>snapshot</code> dropped\nthe field you selected.</li>\n<li>Frontmatter and compiled values must be JSON-serializable; the build names\nthe offending value path otherwise.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Add types once: <code>\"types\": [\"@pracht/markdown/client\", \"@pracht/content/virtual\"]</code>\nin tsconfig (or triple-slash references in any <code>.d.ts</code>).</p>\n<h2>Step 7: Artifacts and the two llms.txt files</h2>\n<p><code>llmsTxtArtifacts()</code> (collection-driven, curated, can emit an <code>llms-full.txt</code>)\nis <strong>not</strong> the same as the core <code>llmsTxt</code> plugin option (app-graph driven,\n<a href=\"https://pracht.resynapse.dev/docs/agents#llmstxt\">https://pracht.resynapse.dev/docs/agents#llmstxt</a>). Both default to <code>/llms.txt</code>, and enabling both fails the\nbuild rather than silently overwriting — pick one, or give the collection a\ndistinct <code>summaryPath</code>. A third, unrelated file is <code>pracht llms</code>, which prints\nthe <em>authoring guide</em> for coding agents; <code>pracht llms --write</code> drops it in the\napp root, which is exactly the confusing filename collision to avoid in an app\nthat publishes its own index.</p>\n<p>For agents, link entries to Markdown and split the full text by section:\n<code>link: (document) =&gt; `${document.path}.md`</code> (only when those URLs exist,\ne.g. via <code>rawContentArtifacts()</code>), and <code>fullPath: \"/llms-guides.txt\"</code> on a\nsection to emit a file with just its pages (with <code>origin</code> set, each page gets\na <code>Source:</code> line with its page URL; <code>sort</code> orders a section's entries). Section files and\n<code>/llms-full.txt</code> are listed under a trailing <code>## Optional</code> heading; a section\nthat matches nothing emits no file. Duplicate or file/directory-colliding\nartifact paths throw when the helper is defined.</p>\n<p>Localization trap: a string <code>section.match</code> is compared against the\n<strong>locale-neutral</strong> route, so <code>match: \"/docs\"</code> indexes only the default locale\nwhile <code>rawContentArtifacts()</code> publishes every translation. Pass a <code>match</code>\nfunction to index one locale deliberately.</p>\n<p>Artifact paths are preflighted: canonical ASCII segments only, no overlap with\n<code>publicDir</code>, bundle output, prerendered pages, request-time page/API paths,\nconcrete ISG paths, the <code>/_pracht</code> namespace, or Netlify's <code>/_headers</code> and\n<code>/_redirects</code>.</p>\n<h2>Step 8: Deployment notes</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cloudflare</strong> — deferred content chunks require <code>\"no_bundle\": true</code> and an\n<code>ESModule</code> rule covering <code>\"**/*.js\"</code>. The <code>dist/server/wrangler.json</code> that\n<code>pracht build</code> generates has both; a <code>wrangler.jsonc</code> that sets its own\n<code>main</code> needs them too, and <code>pracht verify</code> warns when either is missing.</li>\n<li><strong>Content type headers</strong> — explicit artifact <code>contentType</code> values flow into\nthe production headers manifest and are applied by the Node, Cloudflare,\nNetlify, and Vercel adapters.</li>\n<li><strong>Bundle cost</strong> — payload chunks carry roughly two to three times the source\nbytes. <code>snapshot: { raw: false }</code> or <code>{ body: false }</code> drops a representation\nthe app never reads; <code>compiled</code> and frontmatter cannot be dropped.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Step 9: Optional agent surface</h2>\n<p><code>@pracht/content/capabilities</code> exports <code>createContentPageCapability()</code> and\n<code>createContentSearchCapability()</code>, which return <code>input</code>/<code>output</code>/<code>run</code> fields.\nKeep the literal <code>defineCapability({ ... })</code> in the app so <code>pracht verify</code> can\naudit exposure and policy statically — see <code>/add-capabilities</code>. Both helpers\nread <code>document.body</code> and refuse a body-free snapshot when constructed.</p>\n<h2>Step 10: Verify</h2>\n<pre><code>pracht build          # reconciliation warnings + artifact preflight\npracht verify --json\npracht typegen        # after route ids or paths change\n</code></pre>\n<p>Then load a content route in <code>pracht dev</code>, edit a source file, and confirm the\nwatcher invalidates it (collection roots outside Vite's project root are added\nto the watcher explicitly).</p>\n<h2>Rules</h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Compiled Markdown is executed as HTML, unsanitized.</strong> The generated route\nmodule renders through <code>dangerouslySetInnerHTML</code>. Only compile\nrepo-authored, reviewed content; sanitize in <code>parse</code> or <code>render</code> (e.g.\n<code>sanitize-html</code>) before compiling anything from a CMS, a database, or a\nuser.</li>\n<li>Never import a capability-facing or loader-facing collection from client\ncode — import <code>virtual:pracht/content/&lt;name&gt;</code> inside server code only.</li>\n<li>One <code>prachtContent()</code> call, with every collection in it.</li>\n<li>Do not enable the core <code>llmsTxt</code> option and a collection <code>/llms.txt</code>\nartifact at the same time.</li>\n<li>Adding a collection must not publish raw source implicitly — add\n<code>rawContentArtifacts()</code> only when publishing sources is intended.</li>\n<li>Never overwrite an existing <code>vite.config.ts</code>, <code>wrangler.jsonc</code>, or content\nmodule — diff first and confirm collisions with <code>AskUserQuestion</code>.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>$ARGUMENTS</p>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":10762,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
