Website maintenance

A good website is like a good paper: easy to follow, clear and concise, with a clean, refined presentation.

Read README.md and style-guide.md before changing website content, layout or figures. Use figures.md and evidence/ for asset notes and the source of case-study claims.

• Write English, direct headings and concrete instructions. Each paragraph should explain a new fact or action.
• Reuse the shared styles, prompts, figures and code-step components. Keep a case study focused on one question, with further examples in native details.
• Edit shared header, footer and sharing markup in templates/; run python3 scripts/website.py sync and commit the rendered regions with their templates. Keep page bodies outside the marked regions. Author each title and description once; derive sharing fields and canonicals from them. Use new-page for a reading-page scaffold, then add its index link. Keep a draft's visible label and noindex until the content is ready.
• Show what REA returns and how the agent uses it. Preserve source attribution, target identity and verification scope.
• Blog articles teach methods, decisions and workflows through concrete cases. Lead with the takeaway. Essays can develop a personal argument through experience; figures are optional and should add an explanation the prose needs. Use engine details only when they explain a decision. Label working outlines and mark them noindex.
• Keep personal paths, account data, credentials and raw captures outside the public assets. Use generic inputs and label shortened display paths.
• Follow the same clear writing standard in search titles and descriptions. Give each content page its own absolute https://rea.tools/ canonical and matching sharing metadata; keep navigation relative. The sitemap is generated from HTML automatically. Mark example applications noindex in the head and keep them crawlable. Maintain the SVG sharing source, not the generated PNG.
• Check both local root and /rea/ paths, mobile layouts, expanded details, copying and downloads. Run python3 scripts/website.py check, using the Python environment described in the README. It rejects drift rather than silently rewriting shared HTML. Use website.py links for an optional network audit; distinguish missing targets from access denials and unverified fragments.
• Check setup and support statements against the current installation/provider guides and released package. Preserve historical case-study checkpoints and versions unless a new investigation supplies replacement evidence.
• Keep website-pages.yml as the sole, manual production publisher for Cloudflare and Pages. Default to both: both hosts receive the same verified artifact and pass the published-commit check. Use pages only when explicitly requested while Cloudflare credentials are being configured. Follow the website README.
