What problem does it solve?

This Skill equips developers with foundational Hugo knowledge, guiding them through the standard project layout, configuration patterns, and core commands to accelerate site development.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Project structure clarity: Understand the purpose of content/, layouts/, static/, assets/ and how they map to URLs and rendering.
• Configuration patterns: Learn Hugo's configuration options (hugo.toml, config.toml, and how modules mounts shape build behavior).
• Templates, content, and workflows: Grasp front matter usage, taxonomies, and template inheritance to build consistent sites.
• Use Case: Build a minimal Hugo site with a homepage, blog, and docs section using a single config and default templates.

Quick Start

Start by creating a minimal Hugo site with hugo new site mysite, then explore the generated folders (content, layouts, and config) and run hugo serve to preview changes.
