## What it does

This skill wires frontends built in Vite, plain HTML, or exported designs to Wix business data. It relies on direct REST calls rather than `@wix/sdk` or intermediate servers. Every call authenticates using a public `WIX_CLIENT_ID`, while visitor sessions persist in `localStorage`.

Price values return as structured objects containing currency details, so dropping them directly into markup prints raw object text. Member authentication swaps tokens directly in the client without external redirects. Real transactions like checkouts or ticket sales route straight to Wix hosted flows instead of hand-crafted endpoints.

Projects that need hosting, site generation, or Wix CLI tooling must use `wix-headless` instead. This skill handles live client connections exclusively and forbids mocking catalog data or reviews.

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

## When to use it
- wire an existing React or HTML frontend to Wix Stores
- implement Wix Bookings and event ticketing from browser-side code
- authenticate members on custom UI forms without leaving the site
- pull live CMS collections and blog posts into client components

## Example prompts
- Connect this Vite frontend to my Wix store using `wix-vibe-headless` and my `WIX_CLIENT_ID`
- Add Wix Bookings checkout flow to the current service page
- Wire Wix blog posts and member login to the client without adding `@wix/sdk`

# Wix Vibe Headless — client-only REST connectors

Wire an existing front end to a live Wix site **from the browser**, over the site's public
`WIX_CLIENT_ID`, using hand-rolled REST — **no `@wix/sdk`, no backend, no build step, no
dependencies**. One skill, one shared transport, and a copy-as-is REST layer per Wix
business solution. Everything is **read-only over the owner's content**: render live Wix
data or an honest empty state — **never mock, never provision, never invent** products,
posts, events, menus, plans, reviews, or counts.

## When to use this skill

- The user has (or is building) a front end — a vibe-coded app, plain HTML/JSX, a Vite/React
  project, a design-tool export — and wants it to show **live data from their existing Wix
  site** and complete real purchases/bookings, all from the client.
- They hand you a **public `WIX_CLIENT_ID`** and ask to "connect this to my Wix store /
  blog / bookings / events / …".
- They want to replace placeholder/mock data with real Wix content, or add a cart, checkout,
  booking, RSVP, ticketing, reservation, form, or subscribe flow over an app they already have.

## When NOT to use this skill

| Scenario | Use instead |
|---|---|
| Build a **new** Wix site end-to-end from one prompt (discovery → design → build → host) | `wix-headless` |
| The project should use the **Wix SDK** (`@wix/sdk`) and/or the **Wix CLI**, or be **hosted on Wix** | `wix-headless` |
| Manage/configure the site via REST (install apps, seed catalogs, set up business solutions) | `wix-manage` |
| Build a Wix **app extension** (dashboard page, widget, backend, plugin) | `wix-app` |

This skill is the deliberately **client-only, REST-only** path. It is independent from
`wix-headless` (which is SDK + CLI + hosting) — do not mix the two in one project.

## The shared model (applies to every vertical)

- **Auth = one public client id.** `WIX_CLIENT_ID` is a **buyer/visitor-facing** credential —
  it only mints anonymous visitor tokens. It is **not a secret**; hardcoding and committing it
  is fine. The user provides it (their vibe/host platform surfaces a copyable prompt with the
