Quick Start

Convert a Hugo Theme

Most Hugo themes include an exampleSite/ directory. Hugoifier assembles a complete, working site from it:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key

python src/cli.py complete themes/my-hugo-theme
# → output/my-hugo-theme/

Then test it:

cd output/my-hugo-theme
hugo serve
# Open http://localhost:1313

The Decap CMS admin panel is automatically available at http://localhost:1313/admin/.

Convert Raw HTML

For a plain HTML/CSS theme:

python src/cli.py complete path/to/html-theme/
# → output/html-theme/

Hugoifier sends the main HTML file to the AI backend and converts it to Hugo layout files (_default/baseof.html, partials/header.html, etc.).

Custom Output Directory

python src/cli.py complete themes/my-theme --output /tmp/my-site

Whitelabel Decap CMS

python src/cli.py complete themes/my-theme \
  --cms-name "My CMS" \
  --cms-color "#1a1a2e" \
  --cms-logo "https://example.com/logo.png"

Switch AI Backend

# Use OpenAI instead of Anthropic
HUGOIFIER_BACKEND=openai OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key python src/cli.py complete themes/my-theme

# Or via CLI flag
python src/cli.py --backend openai complete themes/my-theme
