Personal Svelte Template

A minimal, accessibility-first personal website you can set up by talking to Claude — no CMS configuration needed.

What it is

An opinionated personal site template for writers, authors, designers, engineers, or anyone who wants a calm, fast site without writing code.

• Five sections that each auto-hide if empty: Profile, Books, Writings, Resume, Blog.
• Built for screen readers and keyboard navigation from day one. AAA contrast, no JS required to read content.
• Fluidly responsive, fixed 42rem reading column, light/dark/system theme toggle.
• Sveltia CMS at /admin for ongoing editing — but you don't need it for setup (see below).
• Per-page OG images generated automatically at build, full SEO meta + JSON-LD, sitemap.xml, and llms.txt for AI crawlers.

Set it up by talking to Claude

The killer move: instead of clicking through a CMS form by form, just hand Claude (or any LLM coding agent) your raw materials.

# 1. Fork this repo via the "Use this template" button on GitHub
# 2. Clone your fork locally
# 3. Open it with Claude Code (or run an agent in the directory)

Then say something like:

"Here's my resume PDF. Set up this site for me." "I'm Jane. I've written these three books, here are some essays I've published, and add a welcome blog post about my work." "Use this photo, here's my bio, leave the resume blank for now."

Claude reads CLAUDE.md — a complete content-setup guide that documents every file, field, and convention. It will edit content/*.json and content/blog/*.md directly, drop your photo in static/images/, and verify the build passes. The dev server (bun run dev) shows your site live.

After setup, push to GitHub. Connect to Netlify. The /admin UI is there for ongoing edits whenever you want.

Built by Adnan. Sveltia CMS makes the admin UI possible. JSON Resume gives the resume page a decade of stable schema. The agent-setup workflow takes inspiration from Andrej Karpathy's LLM-coding guidelines.
