Creating Zola Static Sites Plugin

Zola developer toolkit plugin to spin up, template, and deploy static sites with the Rust-based Zola SSG. Includes explicit commands/agents plus the creating-zola-static-sites skill.

Next Steps

I plan on turning this into a full blown Claude agent plugin.

Getting Started

The install can be as simple as:

# install skilz
pip install skilz

# install the Zola plugin (installs in ~/.claude/skills)
skilz install https://github.com/SpillwaveSolutions/creating-zola-static-sites-plugin

Or if you want a project-level install or to target OpenCode, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, or Codex:

# install skilz
pip install skilz

# install the Zola plugin globally (installs in ~/.claude/skills)
skilz install https://github.com/SpillwaveSolutions/creating-zola-static-sites-plugin

# or for project-level install (installs locally in .claude/skills)
skilz install https://github.com/SpillwaveSolutions/creating-zola-static-sites-plugin --project

# target a specific agent (e.g., Codex/Gemini/Copilot/OpenCode)
skilz install https://github.com/SpillwaveSolutions/creating-zola-static-sites-plugin \
      --agent codex

Commands

• /zola-new-site — Bootstrap a Zola project with config presets (blog/docs), bundled templates/shortcodes, and serve/build/check steps.
• /zola-deploy-plan — Produce a deployment recipe for Netlify/Cloudflare Pages/GitHub Pages/Vercel with publish dirs, YAML snippets, and post-deploy checks.

Agents

• zola-keyword-watcher — Triggers on Zola/Tera mentions; offers quick start, templating tips, and links to commands.
• zola-deploy-signal — Triggers when deployment/hosting is discussed with Zola; proposes a platform-specific plan.

Skill

• creating-zola-static-sites — End-to-end guide for Zola projects: init, config.toml presets, Tera templates, content structure (_index.md vs pages), taxonomies, image processing, hybrid Astro flows, and deployment to Netlify/Cloudflare/GitHub Pages/Vercel/Firebase.
