netlify

Use the Netlify CLI (netlify) to create/link Netlify sites and set up CI/CD (continuous deployment) from GitHub, especially for monorepos (multiple sites in one repo like Hugo sites under sites/<domain>). Use when Avery asks to deploy a new site, connect a repo to Netlify, configure build/publish settings, set environment variables, enable deploy previews, or automate Netlify site creation.

Best use case

netlify is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Teams using netlify should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# netlify

Use the `netlify` CLI to create projects (“sites”), link local folders, and configure CI/CD from GitHub.

## Pre-reqs

- `netlify --version`
- Logged in (`netlify login`) **or** provide `--auth $NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN`.
- Know the Netlify team/account slug you want to create sites under (optional but recommended).

Helpful checks:

```bash
netlify status
netlify sites:list
```

## Monorepo pattern (recommended)

For **one repo with multiple sites** (e.g. `sites/seattlecustomboatparts.com`, `sites/floridacustomerboatparts.com`):

- Create **one Netlify site per domain**.
- Set the site’s **Base directory** to that subfolder.
- Put a `netlify.toml` *inside that subfolder*.

This keeps each domain’s build config self-contained.

### Hugo subfolder `netlify.toml`

Create `sites/<domain>/netlify.toml`:

```toml
[build]
  command = "hugo --minify"
  publish = "public"

[build.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = "0.155.1"
```

(Adjust HUGO_VERSION as needed.)

## Fast workflow: create + link + init CI/CD

### 1) Create a Netlify site (project)
Run inside the site folder you want to deploy (base dir):

```bash
cd sites/<domain>
netlify sites:create --name <netlify-site-name> --account-slug <team> --with-ci
```

Notes:
- `--with-ci` starts CI hooks setup.
- If you need manual control, add `--manual`.

### 2) Link local folder to the created site
If not linked already:

```bash
netlify link
```

### 3) Connect to GitHub for continuous deployment

```bash
netlify init
```

This is usually interactive (select Git remote/repo + build settings). For automation we can pre-create `netlify.toml` and then accept defaults.

## Environment variables

Set per-site vars:

```bash
netlify env:set VAR_NAME value
netlify env:list
```

Useful for monorepos:
- `CONTACT_EMAIL` (or other shared config)

## Deploy

Manual deploys (handy for quick preview):

```bash
netlify deploy            # draft deploy
netlify deploy --prod     # production deploy
```

## Included scripts

- `scripts/hugo_netlify_toml.sh`: create a `netlify.toml` in a Hugo subfolder
- `scripts/netlify_monorepo_site.sh`: helper to create/link/init a site for a subfolder

When using scripts, prefer passing `NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN` via env for non-interactive runs.

Workflow & Productivity

Meeting Prep

3891

from openclaw/skills

Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Your agent researches all attendees before calendar events—pulling LinkedIn profiles, recent company news, mutual connections, and conversation starters. Generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context so you show up informed and confident. Triggered automatically before meetings or on-demand. Configure research depth, advance timing, and output format. Walking into meetings blind is amateur hour—missed connections, generic small talk, zero leverage. Use when setting up meeting intelligence, researching specific attendees, generating pre-meeting briefs, or automating your prep workflow.
