SiteKit

A static site generator written in Swift, designed to be driven by AI agents.

SiteKit is a static site generator written in Swift, driven by AI agents through an installable skill (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Xcode 26, and more) – you hand the whole job to an AI that scaffolds, themes, writes, and deploys your site for you. The output is a fast, SEO-complete, accessible static site you host anywhere.

I built this iteratively over several months for my own needs, and I'm sharing it with the community in case others want to use AI for their website, too. It was built with AI, for AI. Looking forward to your feedback. 🙌

[!TIP] Looking for something specific? The use-case matrix maps every task – author, customize, deploy, extend – to the doc that answers it.

🤔 Is SiteKit for you?

Yes, if you want to:

• Ship a blog, podcast, newsletter, portfolio, or app-landing site as plain static files.
• Own your content as plain Markdown in a git repo – the site is a Swift package under the hood, but authoring needs no Swift code.
• Let an AI assistant do the heavy lifting (scaffolding, theming, content drafting, deployment).

Probably not, if you need:

• A server-rendered CMS with a database, user logins, or live dynamic pages.
• A no-code, point-and-click WYSIWYG editor.
• An environment without the Swift toolchain – building runs through swift (macOS or Linux), and authoring assumes you're comfortable editing text files.

✨ What's built in

You write Markdown; SiteKit handles the rest:

• 📝 Plain Markdown authoring – posts and pages in Markdown with YAML frontmatter, no Swift or HTML.
• 📱 Responsive design – layouts adapt to desktop, tablet, and phone out of the box.
• 🌗 Dark & light mode – follows the visitor's system preference, with a manual toggle.
• 🔍 Built-in search – a client-side index on a static site, full-text for docs.
• 🧭 SEO complete – canonical URLs, Open Graph, JSON-LD, hreflang, sitemap, robots, and llms.txt.
• ♿ Accessibility-minded – semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, WCAG-AA-tuned colour schemes.
• ⚡ Fast by default – critical-CSS ordering, responsive images, inlined icons, minification.
• 🌍 AI-assisted localization – multilingual with hreflang, fallback, and UI chrome in 36 locales.
• 👀 Shareable draft previews – unlisted URLs to share for feedback before publishing.
• ✍️ Guided content writing – built-in writing guides keep drafts on-brand.
• 🆓 Free hosting – deploy to Cloudflare Pages; you pay only for your domain.
