# AceEngineer Website Update Skill

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

## Quick Start

```bash
# 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:
   ```html
   ---
   rootPath: "../../"
   ---
   ```

2. Build locally from repo root:
   ```bash
   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:
   ```bash
   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`:
   ```bash
   git push origin main
   ```
   Vercel auto-deploys from `main` using:
   - `buildCommand: npm run build`
   - `outputDirectory: dist`

6. Poll production until live:
   ```bash
   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.
