# ZeroPress Documentation

ZeroPress is a static-first document publishing platform built around reusable themes, explicit build contracts, Markdown-friendly workflows, and CMS-grade authoring.

This site is the public documentation hub for the current v0.6 contracts, CLI tools, and theme authoring guidance.

There are three common ways to enter the ZeroPress workflow:

- `@zeropress/build-pages`: turn Markdown source and public files into preview data, then build a static ZeroPress site.
- `@zeropress/build`: build directly from `preview-data.json` and a theme, including data and themes produced by AI-assisted tools.
- ZeroPress Studio: manage content, media, imports, and publishing workflows, then publish preview data that can trigger a ZeroPress build.

## Start With The Workflow

Choose the entry point that matches how you want to build:

- [Getting Started](getting-started/index.md): choose between theme development, direct preview-data builds, and Markdown site publishing.
- [Theme Authoring](theme-authoring/index.md): build reusable v0.6 themes.
- [CLI Tools](cli/index.md): understand how `@zeropress/create-theme`, `@zeropress/theme`, and `@zeropress/build` fit together.
- [Package Quick Starts](packages/index.md): copy the shortest useful command for each public package.

Markdown-source site documentation for `@zeropress/build-pages` now lives at [build-pages.zeropress.dev](https://build-pages.zeropress.dev/).

## Current Reference

The active contracts are v0.6. Historical specs remain available for compatibility review, but new work should target v0.6.
