## Build Process
### Build Commands
```bash
npm run prebuild # Validates claims, generates sitemap & RSS
npm run build # Next.js static build
npm run dev # Local development server (port 3000)
```
### Validation Rules
- **Token Length:** 12-18 tokens REQUIRED (blocks build if violated)
- **Structure:** Each article must have title, slug, date, topics, featuredClaim, 5 claims
- **Validation File:** `scripts/validate-claims.ts`
### Build Output
- 32 static pages total
- All pages pre-rendered at build time (SSG)
- Deployed automatically to Netlify on push to main
---
## Content Management
### Adding New Claims
1. Add article data to `src/data/claims.ts`
2. Ensure all 5 claims are 12-18 tokens
3. Include featuredClaim (1 sentence)
4. Assign 2-3 topics
5. Run `npm run build` to validate
6. Commit and push to GitHub
### Automated Article Extraction
- GitHub Action monitors newsletter
- Creates PR with extracted claims
- Manual review before merging
---
## Deployment
### Current Setup
- **Platform:** Netlify
- **Site:** https://kbanc-nextjs.netlify.app
- **Build Command:** `npm run build`
- **Publish Directory:** `out`
- **Auto-Deploy:** Enabled on `main` branch
### Custom Domain
- Primary: https://kbanc.com (configured in Netlify)
---
## Important Notes
### Design Philosophy
- **Minimalist:** Clean, content-focused design
- **GEO-First:** Optimized for AI search engines, not just humans
- **Citation-Ready:** Every claim includes proper attribution
- **Mobile-Responsive:** Progressive enhancement 1→5 columns
### Token Counting
- Uses word-based approximation (not exact GPT tokens)
- Optimal range: 14-16 tokens (sweet spot for LLM extraction)
- 12-18 tokens enforced strictly
### Performance
- No backend required (100% static)
- All stats calculated at build time
- Fast page loads (< 150KB total JS)
