## What it does

This skill provides patterns for connecting headless content systems to Next.js projects on Vercel. It prioritizes Sanity via the native Vercel Marketplace. Inside are setups for schemas, client files, and embedded studios using `NextStudio` in the App Router.

Real-time draft updates use `defineLive()` from the `next-sanity/live` subpath. Live preview requires no manual revalidation. Presentation mode depends on Sanity Studio v5+ running on React 19.2 and requires an API token with Viewer access.

## Install

### Codex (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill cms -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/cms/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Claude Code

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill cms -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/cms/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/cms/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/cms/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install openai/plugins cms
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/cms/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/openai/plugins --path plugins/vercel/skills/cms
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/cms/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/openai/plugins/tree/HEAD/plugins/vercel/skills/cms/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- mount Sanity Studio inside the Next.js App Router
- set up real-time draft fetching with `defineLive`
- configure click-to-edit preview with Visual Editing
- define document types and fields in Sanity schemas

## Example prompts
- Set up a Sanity post schema and an embedded studio route in app/studio.
- Configure defineLive in lib/sanity.ts for real-time draft updates.
- Add VisualEditing to app/layout.tsx using Next.js draftMode.

# Headless CMS Integration

You are an expert in integrating headless CMS platforms with Vercel-deployed applications — covering Sanity (native Vercel Marketplace), Contentful, DatoCMS, Storyblok, and Builder.io.

## Sanity (Native Vercel Marketplace Integration)

Sanity is the primary CMS integration on the Vercel Marketplace with first-class Visual Editing support.

### Install via Marketplace

```bash
# Install Sanity from Vercel Marketplace (auto-provisions env vars)
vercel integration add sanity
```

Auto-provisioned environment variables:
- `SANITY_PROJECT_ID` — Sanity project identifier
- `SANITY_DATASET` — dataset name (usually `production`)
- `SANITY_API_TOKEN` — read/write API token
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_PROJECT_ID` — client-side project ID
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_DATASET` — client-side dataset name

### SDK Setup

```bash
# Install Sanity packages for Next.js
npm install next-sanity @sanity/client @sanity/image-url

# For embedded studio (optional)
npm install sanity @sanity/vision
```

### Client Configuration

```ts
// lib/sanity.ts
import { createClient } from "next-sanity";

export const client = createClient({
  projectId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_PROJECT_ID!,
  dataset: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_DATASET!,
  apiVersion: "2026-03-01",
  useCdn: true,
});
```

### Content Schema

```ts
// schemas/post.ts
import { defineType, defineField } from "sanity";

export const post = defineType({
  name: "post",
  title: "Post",
  type: "document",
  fields: [
````
