# Decap CMS Git-Based Content Management for Static Sites

An agent skill built on Decap CMS (formerly Netlify CMS), the open-source Git-based content management system for static site generators. Provides a visual editing interface backed by Git commits, enabling content workflows for Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby, Next.js, and other Jamstack frameworks.

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- A quick and easy install that requires a single HTML file and a configuration file. All CMS JavaScript and CSS are loaded from a CDN.
- A complete, more advanced install that gives you more flexibility but requires a static site builder with a build system that supports npm packages.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
