AceEngineer Website Update Skill

Automates daily website maintenance including competitor SEO analysis and content synchronization from related repositories.

Quick Start

# Run full daily update
./scripts/daily-update.sh

# Manual competitor analysis
python scripts/competitor_analysis.py

# Manual content sync
python scripts/content_sync.py --digitalmodel ../digitalmodel --worldenergydata ../worldenergydata

# Setup cron job
./scripts/cron-setup.sh

Proven website publish workflow

Use this when adding or fixing public pages on aceengineer.com.

1. Edit source files under content/ only.

   • Do not hand-edit dist/ as the source of truth.
   • For new public pages, create content/<section>/.../index.html.
   • If using shared nav/footer/assets, include frontmatter like:

   ---
   rootPath: "../../"
   ---
   

2. Build locally from repo root:

   npm test -- --runInBand
   npm run build
   

   This regenerates dist/ via node build.js using the PostHTML include/expression pipeline.

3. Verify local routes before pushing. Example:

   python -m http.server 8788 --directory dist
   curl -I http://127.0.0.1:8788/<path>
   

   For important pages, also browser-check the rendered page.

4. Commit only source changes required for deployment. In this repo, dist/ is gitignored; Vercel rebuilds from content/.

5. Push to main:

   git push origin main
   

   Vercel auto-deploys from main using:

   • buildCommand: npm run build
   • outputDirectory: dist

6. Poll production until live:

   curl -k -L -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' https://www.aceengineer.com/<path>
   

   Expect an initial 404 during rollout; retry until 200.

7. For GTM/demo work, verify both:

   • the new page itself
   • any inbound links from gallery/index pages

Critical findings

• The real source tree is content/; dist/ is generated and ignored by git.
• Vercel deployment is automatic after push to main; no manual deploy command was needed.
• Production propagation can lag briefly; polling with curl caught the transition from 404 to 200.
• For new nested pages (e.g. content/methodology/.../index.html), rootPath must match nesting depth so shared assets/nav links resolve correctly after build.
