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.
