Scripts (scripts/)

Markdown sync v2 complete - Full markdown content synchronization system with real-time sync from markdown files to Convex database, dashboard UI for content management, and sync server for executing sync commands from UI.

File	Description
sync-posts.ts	Syncs markdown files to Convex at build time (markdown sync v2)
sync-discovery-files.ts	Updates AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and llms.txt with current app data
import-url.ts	Imports external URLs as markdown posts (Firecrawl)

Sync Commands

Development:

• npm run sync - Sync markdown content to development Convex
• npm run sync:discovery - Update discovery files (AGENTS.md, llms.txt) with development data

Production:

• npm run sync:prod - Sync markdown content to production Convex
• npm run sync:discovery:prod - Update discovery files with production data

Sync everything together:

• npm run sync:all - Run both content sync and discovery sync (development)
• npm run sync:all:prod - Run both content sync and discovery sync (production)

Frontmatter Flow

Frontmatter is the YAML metadata at the top of each markdown file. Here is how it flows through the system:

1. Content directories (content/blog/*.md, content/pages/*.md) contain markdown files with YAML frontmatter
2. scripts/sync-posts.ts uses gray-matter to parse frontmatter and validate required fields
3. Convex mutations (api.posts.syncPostsPublic, api.pages.syncPagesPublic) receive parsed data
4. convex/schema.ts defines the database structure for storing frontmatter fields

To add a new frontmatter field, update:

• scripts/sync-posts.ts: Add to PostFrontmatter or PageFrontmatter interface and parsing logic
• convex/schema.ts: Add field to the posts or pages table schema
• convex/posts.ts or convex/pages.ts: Update sync mutation to handle new field
