# Decap CMS Git-Based Content Management for Static Sites

An agent skill built on Decap CMS (formerly Netlify CMS), the open-source Git-based content management system for static site generators. Provides a visual editing interface backed by Git commits, enabling content workflows for Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby, Next.js, and other Jamstack frameworks.

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- A quick and easy install that requires a single HTML file and a configuration file. All CMS JavaScript and CSS are loaded from a CDN.
- A complete, more advanced install that gives you more flexibility but requires a static site builder with a build system that supports npm packages.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- [![GitHub license](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)](https://github.com/decaporg/decap-cms/blob/main/LICENSE) [![Netlify Status](https://api.netlify.com/api/v1/badges/8b87160b-0a11-4f75-8050-1d21bc1c...
- Decap CMS can be used in two different ways.
