FDE Site Generator Guide

Guide Origin: Community | ArcKit Version: [VERSION]

/arckit-fde:create generates a brandable Forward Deploy Engineering consulting site into docs/. It interviews the user for market preset, brand, pricing, contact details, CTA, and site metadata, then writes fde-site.config.yaml so the site can be regenerated later.

---

When to Use

• You need a white-label FDE consulting website for GitHub Pages or another static host.
• You want a repeatable site generator rather than hand-editing docs/index.html.
• You need market-specific copy, pricing tiers, worked examples, and discovery metadata.
• You want to hand-edit a saved configuration and regenerate the site consistently.

Command

/arckit-fde:create

Primary outputs:

Output	Purpose
fde-site.config.yaml	Saved site configuration for future regeneration
docs/index.html	Generated static website
docs/assets/*	Copied or generated visual assets
docs/llms.txt	Discovery metadata when enabled by the template

---

Workflow

1. Run /arckit-fde:create from the repository that should receive the site.
2. Pick a preset: UK Public Sector, Generic, or Custom.
3. Confirm brand, colours, pricing, contact, booking URL, and CTA text.
4. Review before overwriting an existing docs/index.html.
5. Commit the generated docs/ site and fde-site.config.yaml.

---

Guardrails

• The command should not overwrite an existing docs/index.html without confirmation.
• Keep fde-site.config.yaml under version control if the site is intended to be repeatable.
• Use a valid hex brand colour and a canonical site_url with a trailing slash.
• Treat generated copy as a starting point; review claims, pricing, and contact routes before publishing.
