# My First Post
This is my first post content.
Create Twig templates in layouts/ (for example layouts/page.html.twig):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{{ page.title }} - {{ site.title }}</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>{{ site.title }}</h1>
</header>
<main>
{{ page.content }}
</main>
<footer>
<p>© {{ site.title }}</p>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
php cecil.phar build
Output is generated in _site/ directory.
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
php cecil.phar new:site | Create a new website |
php cecil.phar new:page | Create a new page |
php cecil.phar build | Build the static site |
php cecil.phar serve | Start local server with live reload |
php cecil.phar show:config | Display effective configuration |
php cecil.phar cache:clear | Clear all cache files |
php cecil.phar clear | Remove generated files |
Twig templates live in layouts/ and follow Cecil naming conventions.
Use this pattern:
layouts/(<section>/)<type>|<layout>.<format>(.<language>).twig
Examples:
layouts/page.html.twig - default page templatelayouts/list.html.twig - section/home/term listing templatelayouts/blog/list.rss.twig - RSS template for blog sectionlayouts/page.html.fr.twig - French page templatelayouts/_default/page.html.twig - fallback templatelayout templates first.| Page Kind | Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 | Step 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Homepage | index.* | home.* | list.* | _default/* |
| Standard page | page.* | _default/page.* | - | - |
| Section page | section-specific list.* or explicit layout.* | list.* | _default/* | - |
| Taxonomy page | taxonomy template or explicit layout.* | list.* | _default/* | - |
In practice, you usually need only:
layouts/page.html.twiglayouts/list.html.twiglayouts/_default/ or per sectionMost useful variables in Twig:
site.title, site.baseurl, site.descriptionsite.pages - pages collection (current language)site.allpages - pages in all languagessite.taxonomies - vocabularies and termssite.menus.<name> - menu entriespage.title, page.date, page.content, page.path, page.type, page.sectionConfigure languages in cecil.yml:
language: en
languages:
- code: en
name: English
locale: en_US
- code: fr
name: Français
locale: fr_FR
Use suffixed filenames for translations:
pages/about.md
pages/about.fr.md
You can render a language switcher in templates with:
{% include 'partials/languages.html.twig' %}
Useful collection helpers:

assets:
minify: true
fingerprint: true
compile:
style: compressed
images:
optimize: true
draft: true to exclude non-published content from buildsExtend Cecil by creating custom generators:
<?php
namespace MyProject\Generator;
use Cecil\Generator\AbstractGenerator;
class CustomGenerator extends AbstractGenerator
{
public function generate(): void
{
// Custom generation logic
}
}
Then register it in configuration with pages.generators.
pages:
generators:
100: MyProject\Generator\CustomGenerator
Note: use single backslashes in YAML. Double backslashes (
\\) are only needed inside JSON or PHP strings.
Create CLI commands by extending AbstractCommand:
<?php
namespace MyProject\Command;
use Cecil\Command\AbstractCommand;
class MyCommand extends AbstractCommand
{
// Implementation
}
You can also extend Twig (via layouts.extensions) and post-process output (via output.postprocessors).

# Cecil Site Builder
You are an expert Cecil developer capable of creating and generating static websites with Cecil, a PHP-based static site generator powered by Symfony components and Twig.
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Creating or scaffolding a new Cecil site
- Building and generating static websites with Cecil
- Configuring site settings, taxonomies, and content organization
- Creating or updating Twig templates and layouts
- Managing assets, including images and stylesheets
- Deploying Cecil-generated static sites
- Troubleshooting build issues or optimizing the performance of the generated site and build process
- Working with Cecil's plugin/extension system
## Project Structure
### Directory Layout
```
my-site/
├── cecil.yml # Main configuration file (or config.yml)
├── pages/ # Markdown pages
├── layouts/ # Twig templates
├── assets/ # Processed files (CSS, JS, images)
├── static/ # Static files copied as-is
└── data/ # Data collections (YAML/JSON/...)
```
### Key Directories
- **pages/** - Markdown content files organized into sections
- **layouts/** - Twig templates and partials
- **assets/** - Files handled by Cecil (Sass compilation, minification, image handling)
- **static/** - Files copied to output without transformation
- **data/** - Data files exposed in templates via `site.data`
## Cecil Fundamentals
### Architecture
Cecil follows a build pipeline:
```
Builder → Steps → Generators → Renderer → Output
```
- **Steps** (`Step/`): Sequential build phases
- Pages: Parse markdown content
- Data: Load data files
- Assets: Process assets
- Taxonomies: Generate taxonomy pages
- Menus: Build navigation structures
- Optimize: Optimize output
- StaticFiles: Copy static files
- **Generators** (`Generator/`): Page generators executed via priority queue
- Generators are ordered by numeric weight; lower numbers execute first (e.g., DefaultPages at weight 10 runs before Alias at weight 80).
- DefaultPages (10) → VirtualPages (20) → ExternalBody (30) → Section (40) → Taxonomy (50) → Homepage (60) → Pagination (70) → Alias (80) → Redirect (90)
- **Renderer** (`Renderer/`): Twig-based rendering with custom extensions
- **Output**: Built static site in `_site/` directory
### Content Model
- **Pages**: Markdown files composed of front matter and body
- **Front matter**: Metadata surrounded by separators (`---`, `+++`, or `<!-- -->`)
- **Section**: Root folder in `pages/` (e.g. `pages/blog/post-1.md` -> section `blog`)
- **File-based routing**: Files under `pages/` define generated paths
- **Collections**: Pages, taxonomies, data and static files are exposed to templates
### Nested Sections (Sub-sections)
A nested folder that explicitly contains an `index.md` file becomes a _sub-section_ of its parent _Section_. A nested folder **without** an `index.md` file is not a sub-section: its pages simply belong to the parent section.
```plaintext
pages/
└─ blog # Section "blog"
├─ index.md
├─ post-1.md # Page in "blog"
└─ 2024 # Sub-section (contains an "index.md")
├─ index.md
└─ post-2.md # Page in "blog" AND "blog/2024"
```
A sub-section:
- Is a full _Section_ (same `type`, variables, and [layout](../../docs/3-Templates.md) resolution) available at its own URL (e.g. `/blog/2024/`)
- Can be nested at any depth (e.g. `blog/2024/06/`)
- Lists its own pages; those pages also belong to each parent section
- Is **not** listed among the pages of its parent section
Sub-sections support the same front matter variables as any section (`sortby`, `pagination`, `cascade`, `circular`). Use `cascade` on a parent `index.md` to propagate variables down to sub-sections and their pages.
### Configuration
Configuration is defined in `cecil.yml` or `config.yml` at project root:
- Core options are top-level keys such as `title`, `baseurl`, `description`, `taxonomies`, `menus`
- Dot notation in templates applies to `site` variable access (for example `site.title`)
- Defaults are defined in `config/default.php` and base pipeline in `config/base.php`
## Building a Cecil Site
### Step 1: Download Cecil
Download Cecil using curl:
```bash
curl -LO https://cecil.app/cecil.phar
chmod +x cecil.phar
```
### Step 2: Create a New Site
Use the `new:site` command to scaffold a new website:
```bash
php cecil.phar new:site
```
### Step 3: Configure the Site
Edit **cecil.yml**:
```yaml
title: My Site
baseurl: https://example.com/
description: My awesome static site
taxonomies:
categories: category
tags: tag
```
### Step 4: Create Content
Create a page with:
```bash
php cecil.phar new:page
```
Then edit the generated file in `pages/`:
```markdown
---
title: My First Post
description: Welcome to my blog
date: 2024-05-14
tags: [Welcome, "First post"]
---
# My First Post
This is my first post content.
```
### Step 5: Create Templates
Create Twig templates in `layouts/` (for example `layouts/page.html.twig`):
```twig
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{{ page.title }} - {{ site.title }}</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>{{ site.title }}</h1>
</header>
<main>
{{ page.content }}
</main>
<footer>
<p>© {{ site.title }}</p>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
```
### Step 6: Build the Site
```bash
php cecil.phar build
```
Output is generated in `_site/` directory.
## CLI Commands
| Command | Purpose |
|------------------------------|-------------------------------------|
| `php cecil.phar new:site` | Create a new website |
| `php cecil.phar new:page` | Create a new page |
| `php cecil.phar build` | Build the static site |
| `php cecil.phar serve` | Start local server with live reload |
| `php cecil.phar show:config` | Display effective configuration |
| `php cecil.phar cache:clear` | Clear all cache files |
| `php cecil.phar clear` | Remove generated files |
## Template Development
Twig templates live in `layouts/` and follow Cecil naming conventions.
### Naming Convention
Use this pattern:
```plaintext
layouts/(<section>/)<type>|<layout>.<format>(.<language>).twig
```
Examples:
- `layouts/page.html.twig` - default page template
- `layouts/list.html.twig` - section/home/term listing template
- `layouts/blog/list.rss.twig` - RSS template for `blog` section
- `layouts/page.html.fr.twig` - French page template
- `layouts/_default/page.html.twig` - fallback template
### Lookup Rules (How Cecil Chooses a Template)
1. Identify the page kind and check section-specific or explicit `layout` templates first.
2. Apply the matching fallback chain for that page kind:
| Page Kind | Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 | Step 4 |
|---------------|--------------------------------------------------|-------------------|--------------|--------------|
| Homepage | `index.*` | `home.*` | `list.*` | `_default/*` |
| Standard page | `page.*` | `_default/page.*` | - | - |
| Section page | section-specific `list.*` or explicit `layout.*` | `list.*` | `_default/*` | - |
| Taxonomy page | taxonomy template or explicit `layout.*` | `list.*` | `_default/*` | - |
In practice, you usually need only:
- `layouts/page.html.twig`
- `layouts/list.html.twig`
- optional overrides in `layouts/_default/` or per section
### Template Variables
Most useful variables in Twig:
- `site.title`, `site.baseurl`, `site.description`
- `site.pages` - pages collection (current language)
- `site.allpages` - pages in all languages
- `site.taxonomies` - vocabularies and terms
- `site.menus.<name>` - menu entries
- `page.title`, `page.date`, `page.content`, `page.path`, `page.type`, `page.section`
### Multilingual Sites
Configure languages in `cecil.yml`:
```yaml
language: en
languages:
- code: en
name: English
locale: en_US
- code: fr
name: Français
locale: fr_FR
```
Use suffixed filenames for translations:
```plaintext
pages/about.md
pages/about.fr.md
```
You can render a language switcher in templates with:
```twig
{% include 'partials/languages.html.twig' %}
```
Useful collection helpers:
- `site.pages.showable` to skip draft/virtual/excluded pages
- `sort_by_weight` filter for menu entries
### Example Template
```twig
{# layouts/page.html.twig #}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ site.language }}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>{{ page.title }} - {{ site.title }}</title>
{{ include('partials/metatags.html.twig') }}
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1><a href="{{ url('/') }}">{{ site.title }}</a></h1>
{% if site.menus.main is defined %}
<nav>
<ul>
{% for entry in site.menus.main|sort_by_weight %}
<li><a href="{{ url(entry.url) }}">{{ entry.name }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</nav>
{% endif %}
</header>
<main>
<article>
<h2>{{ page.title }}</h2>
{% if page.date %}
<time datetime="{{ page.date|date('c') }}">{{ page.date|date('Y-m-d') }}</time>
{% endif %}
{{ page.content }}
</article>
</main>
</body>
</html>
```
### Built-in Partials and Utilities
- `partials/metatags.html.twig` - SEO/social tags
- `partials/navigation.html.twig` - navigation helper
- `partials/paginator.html.twig` - pagination links
- `partials/languages.html.twig` - language switcher
If needed, extract built-in templates to customize them:
```bash
php cecil.phar util:templates:extract
```
### Pagination
Pagination is configured globally under `pages.pagination`, and can be overridden in section front matter.
```yaml
pages:
pagination:
max: 5
path: page
```
In list templates, include paginator links with:
```twig
{% include 'partials/paginator.html.twig' %}
```
### Custom Filters and Functions
Core Twig helpers commonly used in Cecil templates:
- `url()` - generate internal/absolute URLs depending on config
- `asset()` - reference and process assets
- `include()` - compose templates with partials/components
## Build Optimization
### Asset Processing
Configure asset optimization:
```yaml
assets:
minify: true
fingerprint: true
compile:
style: compressed
images:
optimize: true
```
### Performance Tips
1. Use `draft: true` to exclude non-published content from builds
2. Enable asset minification and fingerprinting in production
3. Use output and format settings adapted to your pages types
4. Use responsive image options and image optimization when needed
## Extension & Plugins
### Custom Generators
Extend Cecil by creating custom generators:
```php
<?php
namespace MyProject\Generator;
use Cecil\Generator\AbstractGenerator;
class CustomGenerator extends AbstractGenerator
{
public function generate(): void
{
// Custom generation logic
}
}
```
Then register it in configuration with `pages.generators`.
```yaml
pages:
generators:
100: MyProject\Generator\CustomGenerator
```
> Note: use single backslashes in YAML. Double backslashes (`\\`) are only needed inside JSON or PHP strings.
### Custom Commands
Create CLI commands by extending `AbstractCommand`:
```php
<?php
namespace MyProject\Command;
use Cecil\Command\AbstractCommand;
class MyCommand extends AbstractCommand
{
// Implementation
}
```
You can also extend Twig (via `layouts.extensions`) and post-process output (via `output.postprocessors`).
```yaml
layouts:
extensions:
MyExtension: MyProject\Twig\MyExtension
```
