Regenerating AI Content

Overview

The site at site/ uses an AI pipeline (site/scripts/generate-ai.ts) that generates the following fields for each template page:

• extendedDescription
• howToUse
• metaDescription
• suggestedUseCases
• faqItems

Results are cached in site/.content-cache/ and written to site/src/content/templates/ (git-ignored).

All commands must be run from the site/ directory

Ensure pnpm is installed before running any commands.

Common Commands

Task	Command
Regenerate ALL content	pnpm run generate:ai
Regenerate one template	pnpm run generate:ai -- --template <name>
Force regenerate (ignore cache)	pnpm run generate:ai -- --force
Force one template	pnpm run generate:ai -- --template <name> --force
Test mode (first template only)	pnpm run generate:ai:test
Skip AI (use placeholders)	pnpm run generate:ai -- --skip-ai
Dry run (preview changes)	pnpm run generate:ai -- --dry-run
View cache stats	pnpm run cache:status
Clear all cache	pnpm run cache:clear --force
Preview what cache clear would delete	pnpm run cache:clear --dry-run

Requirements

• OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable must be set (unless using --skip-ai).

How Caching Works

• Cache lives in site/.content-cache/ with a _manifest.json tracking hashes.
• Cache invalidates when:
  • Template metadata changes (hash mismatch)
  • Prompt files change (prompts hash)
  • Cache version is bumped
• --force bypasses all cache checks.
• --dry-run shows what would be regenerated without making changes.

Debugging Common Issues

Placeholder text showing

Template was generated with --skip-ai.

Fix: Run pnpm run generate:ai -- --template <name>.

Content is stale/outdated

Cache hit on old content.

Fix: Run with --force flag: pnpm run generate:ai -- --template <name> --force.

OPENAI_API_KEY not set

Set the environment variable or use --skip-ai for development.

Content doesn't match override

Overrides in site/overrides/templates/ merge on top of AI content. Check if there's an override file conflicting with expectations.

humanEdited template not regenerating

By design. Templates with humanEdited: true in their override file skip AI generation entirely. Remove the override file or set humanEdited: false to re-enable.

Content Template Types

The pipeline auto-selects one of the following types based on template metadata:

• tutorial
• showcase
• comparison
• breakthrough

These correspond to prompt files in site/knowledge/prompts/.

Rules

• Always run commands from the site/ directory.
• Never manually edit files in site/src/content/templates/ — they are generated.
• Never manually edit site/.content-cache/ — use the CLI commands.
• The site/overrides/templates/ directory is for human overrides, not AI content.
