This project takes an "AI-first" approach to website creation.
A traditional CMS is not needed because content creation is handled through AI agents. Posts can be stored in a local JSON file within the project's source code.
Similarly, there's no need for a user management system (even for multi-author capabilities) since all authors have access to the project's Git repository. Authors can manage site content through the AI agent, which can attribute content to specific authors as needed.
The automatic deployment via Git push functions like a CMS but without the web interface. Content management is done through the Cursor Editor or even mobile app for managing Background Workers.
Follow the instructions in the Basic AI Tools Installation file to install the essential tools:
- GIT
- Node.js
- Cursor IDE
You can clone this project using the following command:
- Open the terminal (e.g. Git Bash)
- Navigate to the directory where you want to clone the project (to the parent folder - new project folder will be created there)
- Clone the project using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/seyd/starter-pack-simple-website.git <new-project-name>Note: Replace
<new-project-name>with the name of your new project (it will be used as a name of the project folder).
- Navigate to the project folder:
cd <new-project-name>- Open Cursor IDE
- Open the project folder: File > Open Folder >
<new-project-name>
Users should begin with the pre-configured starter pack and use the chat interface to:
- Press
Ctrl + Lto open a chat window - Write "Let's start!" or "What's next?" if you have already started
- And submit the message (Send button)
- Then follow the instructions...
This approach eliminates the need for deep technical knowledge while providing a solid foundation for a professional website.
