Website Build Skill

You are running the /grc-portfolio:build skill. Your job is to scaffold a complete, production-ready React/Vite website from the site-config.json created by /grc-portfolio:plan.

Step 1: Locate and Validate Config

Find site-config.json:

• Check $ARGUMENTS for a project directory path
• Check the current working directory
• Ask the user if not found

Read it and validate that status.planComplete === true. If not, tell the user to run /grc-portfolio:plan first.

Read the siteType field to determine which components to generate.

Step 2: Scaffold Project Structure

Create the following structure in the project directory:

src/
  main.jsx
  App.jsx
  App.css
  index.css
  components/
    Navbar.jsx
    Hero.jsx
    Footer.jsx
    ContactForm.jsx  (if features.contactForm)
    ... (type-specific components)
  assets/
index.html           (Vite's entry HTML, references /src/main.jsx)
public/
  favicon.svg
package.json
vite.config.js
.env.example
.gitignore

Step 3: Generate package.json

Base it on the toolkit's examples/package.json at $TOOLKIT_DIR/examples/package.json. Customize:

• Set name to the projectName from config
• Keep all dependencies the same (react, react-dom, react-router-dom)
• Keep all devDependencies the same

Step 4: Generate vite.config.js

Copy from $TOOLKIT_DIR/examples/vite.config.js as-is. It's already well-configured for AWS deployment.

Step 5: Generate Components by Site Type

All Types (shared components):

Navbar.jsx -- Navigation bar with:

• Site name/logo on the left
• Navigation links based on pages array from config
• Mobile-responsive hamburger menu
• Smooth scroll to sections

Hero.jsx -- Full-width hero section with:

• Main heading (name/company/product depending on type)
• Subtitle/tagline
• CTA button(s) based on design.ctaPreference
• Background using the color scheme

Footer.jsx -- Footer with:

• Copyright notice
• Social links (if available)
• Quick navigation links

ContactForm.jsx (if features.contactForm):

• Form with name, email, company (optional), message fields
• Submits to VITE_CONTACT_API_ENDPOINT env var
• Loading state, success/error feedback
• Basic client-side validation

Portfolio/Personal Components:

• About.jsx -- Professional summary, photo placeholder
• Skills.jsx -- Skills organized by category in a grid
• Projects.jsx -- Project cards with descriptions, tech tags, links
• Certifications.jsx -- Certification badges/list
• Speaking.jsx -- Talks, podcasts, articles (if data provided)

Business Landing Page Components:

• Services.jsx -- Service cards with descriptions
• Testimonials.jsx -- Testimonial cards with quotes
• Team.jsx -- Team member cards
• Pricing.jsx -- Pricing tier cards (if data provided)

SaaS Marketing Components:

• Features.jsx -- Feature grid with icons and descriptions
• Pricing.jsx -- Pricing comparison table/cards
• Integrations.jsx -- Integration logos/grid
• CTA.jsx -- Call-to-action section with demo/signup buttons

Brochure Components:

• About.jsx -- Business description
• Services.jsx -- Service list
• Hours.jsx -- Business hours and location/map placeholder

Step 6: Generate Styles

index.css

CSS reset and base styles. Set CSS custom properties based on design.colorScheme:

navy-slate (GRC default):

--color-primary: #1e3a5f;
--color-primary-dark: #152a45;
--color-secondary: #64748b;
--color-accent: #3b82f6;
--color-bg: #ffffff;
--color-bg-alt: #f8fafc;
--color-text: #1e293b;
--color-text-light: #64748b;

dark-charcoal:

--color-primary: #818cf8;
--color-primary-dark: #6366f1;
--color-secondary: #94a3b8;
--color-accent: #22d3ee;
--color-bg: #0f172a;
--color-bg-alt: #1e293b;
--color-text: #f1f5f9;
--color-text-light: #94a3b8;

white-teal:

--color-primary: #0d9488;
--color-primary-dark: #0f766e;
--color-secondary: #64748b;
--color-accent: #06b6d4;
--color-bg: #ffffff;
--color-bg-alt: #f0fdfa;
--color-text: #1e293b;
--color-text-light: #64748b;

If design.colorScheme is "custom", use design.primaryColor and design.accentColor from config and derive the rest.

App.css

Component-level styles. Use the CSS custom properties from index.css. Style should match design.style:

• professional: Conservative layout, clean typography, authoritative feel
• bold-modern: Strong colors, larger typography, prominent shadows
• clean-minimal: Lots of whitespace, thin borders, subtle shadows

Step 7: Generate main.jsx and App.jsx

main.jsx:

import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client'
import App from './App.jsx'
import './index.css'

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <App />
  </React.StrictMode>,
)

App.jsx: Import and compose all generated components in order. Use a single-page layout with sections. Include smooth scrolling.

Step 8: Generate index.html

Write this file at the project root (<projectDir>/index.html), not under public/. Vite resolves the entry HTML from the project root, and /src/main.jsx is referenced as an absolute project-root path:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/favicon.svg" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <meta name="description" content="{{site description from config}}" />
    <title>{{site title from config}}</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="root"></div>
    <script type="module" src="/src/main.jsx"></script>
  </body>
</html>

Step 9: Generate .env.example and .gitignore

.env.example:

# Contact Form API endpoint (from /grc-portfolio:infra deployment)
VITE_CONTACT_API_ENDPOINT=

.gitignore:

node_modules
dist
.env
.env.local
.DS_Store
*.log

Step 10: Copy Lambda Function (if contact form)

If features.contactForm is true, copy $TOOLKIT_DIR/lambda/contact-form-handler.js into a lambda/ directory in the project.

Step 11: Install and Verify

Run:

cd <projectDir>
npm install
npm run build

If the build fails, fix the errors. Common issues:

• Import paths
• Missing dependencies
• JSX syntax errors

Step 12: Update Config

Update site-config.json:

• Set status.buildComplete = true

Step 13: Summary

Tell the user:

• The project has been scaffolded at <projectDir>
• List the files created
• Tell them they can run npm run dev to preview locally
• Suggest running /grc-portfolio:preflight next to check AWS readiness

Important Guidelines

• Populate real content from site-config.json -- don't use placeholder "Lorem ipsum" text. Use the actual names, descriptions, certifications, frameworks, projects, etc. that the user provided.
• Make it look good -- the generated site should be visually polished and production-ready out of the box.
• Responsive -- all components must work on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
• Accessible -- use semantic HTML, proper heading hierarchy, alt text, aria labels.
• Keep it simple -- vanilla React with CSS. No CSS frameworks unless the user specifically requests one.

Variables

• $TOOLKIT_DIR = read from site-config.json toolkitDir field
• $ARGUMENTS = arguments passed after /build (expected: project directory path)
