## What it does

The skill figures out which Wix services a project needs, installs the matching apps, seeds backend content, and finishes with instructions on calling Wix from the frontend. It covers Stores, Bookings, Donations, CMS, Blog, Events, Forms and more.

What it does with the frontend depends on the project type. On `managed` it also owns the frontend: it scaffolds a new site from a prompt or attaches Wix to a design you bring in, then builds and releases. On `self-managed` and `stripe` the frontend stays yours, and the skill only configures the backend and emits the guide. The type comes from on-disk signals, from how you phrase the request, or from asking you.

One catch: the `self-managed` path stops at authentication with a not-wired-yet error, so a full run there is not on the table. For `stripe`, credentials arrive in `.env` through Stripe Projects.

## Requirements
- Works with: Stripe

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wix/skills --skill wix-headless -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wix/skills --skill wix-headless -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wix/skills --skill wix-headless -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install wix/skills wix-headless
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wix/skills --skill wix-headless -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/wix/skills --path skills/wix-headless
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wix/skills --skill wix-headless -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

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

## When to use it
- connect a Wix store to an existing frontend
- take donations without hand-rolling the integration
- seed CMS or blog content for a new backend
- scaffold a Wix site from a written brief
- wire a brought-in design to the Wix backend

## Example prompts
- set up a Wix Headless backend for my app
- add Wix donations to this project
- build a Wix site from this description

# Wix Headless

This skill connects **Wix business services** to a **Wix Headless frontend**. Its core job is to **configure the Wix backend**: infer the needed capabilities, **install the Wix apps**, **seed the backend content**, and produce an SDK-integration guide describing how to call Wix from the frontend.

What happens with the frontend depends on the project type and operation:
- **Backend-only** (self-managed, stripe, or a managed "just set up the backend" run) — the skill **emits the SDK guide** as its final output; the **host owns** the frontend, build, and hosting.
- **Managed create / connect** — the skill **also owns the frontend**: it scaffolds a new project (create) or attaches Wix to an existing one (connect), wires it to the backend using that same guide, builds, and releases to Wix. (There is no Designer or template library — the frontend is built ad-hoc to intent.)

> **On a backend-only run the skill does not own the project scaffolding.** When the work needs a frontend, **scaffold it according to user intent** — framework and structure follow the prompt; the skill's job is the Wix backend plus the **emitted SDK guide** describing how to call Wix from whatever frontend exists, not choosing or generating the app. This is the norm for a **stripe** run: the project is provisioned via Stripe Projects (credentials land in `.env` — see `stripe/AUTHENTICATION.md`), the skill configures the backend and emits the guide, and the live site is finalized per `stripe/DEPLOYMENT.md` — while the frontend is scaffolded and wired to intent, by the host.

## Project types

The skill behaves identically across project types **except for authentication and deployment**, which are isolated in a per-type folder under `references/`:

| Project type | Hosting | Authentication & deployment live in |
|---|---|---|
| `managed` | Wix infrastructure (maintained by Wix) | `references/managed/` |
| `self-managed` | the user's own host (TBD) | `references/self-managed/` |
| `stripe` | the user's own host, provisioned via Stripe Projects | `references/stripe/` |
```
