Based on SOC occupation classification
Convert Jinja2 templates to Kida syntax. Use when migrating from Jinja2, Django templates, or similar engines.
Use Kida with Chirp for HTMX partials, fragment rendering, block validation. Use when building Chirp web apps.
Write correct Kida templates from scratch. Use when creating templates, writing views, or authoring template content.
Add custom Kida filters with proper type coercion. Use when adding filters, extending templates, or handling YAML/config int/str.
Understand Kida expression behavior: `+` operator, list vs string, export accumulation. Use when debugging unexpected output or expression behavior.
Use Kida static analysis for pre-render validation, incremental builds, block caching. Use when validating template context, optimizing build times, or implementing caching.

Bengal uses Kida's static analysis for incremental builds and block caching.
cache_scope == "site" (nav, footer, sidebar)Result: 40-60% rebuild time reduction for sites with shared layout.
info = engine.get_template_introspection("page.html")
if info:
for block_name, meta in info["blocks"].items():
if meta.cache_scope == "site":
# Block is site-cacheable
pass
Returns block_name → cache_scope for blocks with cache_scope in ("site", "page") and is_pure == "pure":
cacheable = engine.get_cacheable_blocks("base.html")
# {'nav': 'site', 'footer': 'site', 'content': 'page'}
| Scope | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
site | Same for every page | Nav, footer |
page | Varies per page | Content, title |
Bengal passes page and site (and theme-specific vars) to templates. Ensure templates use these consistently for analysis to infer cache scope correctly.
