EmDash is a full-stack TypeScript CMS based on Astro; the spiritual successor to WordPress
EmDash is a content management system for creating and managing websites, built with TypeScript and Astro and deployable on Cloudflare or Node.js with SQLite. It is for site owners and developers who want WordPress-like administration, templates, and plugins without PHP or separate hosting.
This repository also configures its own agents. See what emdash tells them →
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Trace from a reproduced symptom to the source code that causes it. Pin the specific file and approximate line, rate confidence in the cause and clarity of the fix independently, and always propose a concrete fix.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Implement diagnose's proposed fix when verify says bug, the cause is pinned, and a maintainer triggered a fix. Follow EmDash conventions, run focused checks, publish the candidate, and report the results accurately.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Implement a maintainer-directed EmDash enhancement or change without forcing it through bug-reproduction fields. Run focused checks, publish the candidate, and report the results accurately.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Investigate a single EmDash issue end to end -- classify, choose a repro path, reproduce, diagnose, verify, and (only on an explicit maintainer fix directive) fix and confirm. Every verdict carries its evidence.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Reproduce an EmDash admin UI bug. Attach a container, start the demo dev server, drive the admin with agent-browser using the dev-bypass session, and capture the reproduction as screenshots plus a replayable transcript.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Reproduce an EmDash bug below the browser layer -- REST handlers, CLI, MCP, migrations, schema registry, or build tooling. No browser. Prefer a failing vitest test in the affected package, run in an attached container.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Reproduce a bug in the public-facing rendered site (not the admin). Attach a container, start the demo dev server, drive public routes with agent-browser, and capture the reproduction as screenshots plus a replayable transcript.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Decide whether the diagnosed behaviour is actually a bug or the code doing what it was designed to do. This is the gate that guards the fix stage.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Review one pull request for real bugs, regressions, and convention violations. Enumerate candidate issues across the whole diff, verify each against the code, then return structured line-anchored findings and a verdict. Read-only on GitHub; the orchestrator posts the review.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Stress-test a code change for concrete correctness defects, unsafe assumptions, and failure modes. Use when the user explicitly asks for an adversarial review, a deep bug hunt, or to tear a change apart. Do not use for ordinary review, style feedback, or general improvement suggestions.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use the agent-browser CLI to exercise web interfaces, inspect rendered accessibility state, verify interactions, and capture screenshots. Use for browser-based UI testing and evidence collection. Do not use as a substitute for deterministic Playwright coverage when an automated regression test is the requested…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Build the site-facing parts of an EmDash CMS project on Astro, including schema and seeds, content queries, Portable Text rendering, menus, taxonomies, widgets, and deployment configuration. Use for EmDash site and theme work; use creating-plugins instead when the task is plugin authoring alone.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Create EmDash CMS plugins with sandboxed hooks, routes, storage, content and media APIs, MCP tools, and declarative admin UI, or native React and Astro extensions. Use when scaffolding or implementing an EmDash plugin.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use the EmDash CLI to inspect and manage an EmDash instance from the command line, including content, schema, media, taxonomies, menus, search, authentication, seeds, migrations, generated types, and whole-site export and import.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Analyze and port WordPress plugin behavior, custom post types, shortcodes, admin workflows, and stored data to current EmDash extension points. Use for WordPress-plugin migrations or when deciding which behavior belongs in an EmDash plugin, site schema, seed, or Astro code. Do not use for visual theme ports without…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Port a WordPress theme's design and template behavior to an EmDash-powered Astro site. Use for theme migrations, design matching, PHP-template conversion, and CMS wiring. Do not use for WordPress plugin behavior that does not affect the site theme.
Skill Codex
Write, revise, and review EmDash documentation for technical accuracy, useful structure, house style, and natural prose. Use when working on user documentation, guides, API reference pages, migration or upgrade guides, READMEs, contributor documentation, technical specifications, or release notes in the EmDash…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Perform a goal-driven, black-box UX acceptance journey in a browser and report the path, friction, and observable outcome. Use only in an isolated tester context with a supplied start URL and brief.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Coordinate black-box, agent-driven UX acceptance journeys against a disposable EmDash admin site. Use when preparing, dispatching, verifying, or reporting a manual browser journey performed by a separate tester agent. Do not use for deterministic Playwright tests or ordinary code review.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Classify an issue, identify missing information, and decide whether bounded automatic work is safe.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Deliver one maintainer-approved EmDash issue, choosing the bug-fix path for a defect and the direct implementation path for an enhancement or task.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Upgrade an existing EmDash project with upgrade-emdash, interpret .emdash/UPGRADE.md, apply required project changes, and verify the package, skill, and migration result. Use when asked to update or upgrade EmDash dependencies. Do not use for an unrelated schema change or a known database migration without a package…
