gurupanguji.github.io // Documentation

This repository houses the personal portfolio and review site for @gurupanguji. It is built as a high-end static site using Jekyll, following the philosophy of “Das Wesentliche”.

Scope

Keep this file to repo-specific content and publishing rules. Shared git and workflow policy lives in ~/.agents/AGENTS.md.

Naming policy

Use @gurupanguji as the author name for reviews, blog posts, and site-wide metadata.
Reserve Renganathan Ramamoorthy for /about/index.html only.

Site rules

Use absolute paths for navigation and assets.
Include <div class="dot-grid"></div> immediately after <body>.
Use the standard .header-minimal header and footer layout across pages.
Keep the design system aligned with assets/css/style.css.

Content workflow

Posts live in _posts/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md. See ## frontmatter for required fields.
Migrating Obsidian snippets: Use obsidian CLI to ingest from vault.
Vault is rr unless specified.
The snippets are usually in lit/snippets and often have YYYY-MM-DD- prefixes.
Migration:
1. Find exact file: obsidian files folder="lit/snippets"
2. Read source: obsidian read path="lit/snippets/YYYY-MM-DD-Title.md"
3. Convert to post in _posts/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md
4. Choose the right categories and tags
5. If it’s a linked post preped 🔗 to title only and not slug.
6. Update metadata: obsidian property:set path="..." name="is_blogged" value="true" type="checkbox"
Scheduled posts: Use +0000 UTC offset in the date frontmatter to pass validation.
Images belong in assets/images/blog/ and should be referenced with absolute paths.
Run an Editor’s Desk before publishing new blog posts.
If needed, preview locally with bundle exec jekyll serve and check /blog/ before committing.
