## Subline

AtarCMS runs small multilingual sites — a studio, a clinic, a club, a workshop — on one small server. Hand it to your coding agent: it installs the site and builds it from your brief. Then your editors, or their agents, take it from there.

## Pillar 1: text

A coding agent builds the site with the skill that ships in the project. A browser agent runs the admin from one guide at /admin/ai-guide. Language models read the public site through /llms.txt and a markdown twin of every page.

## Pillar 2: text

Content, menus, search and feeds per language, with linked translations. Hebrew and other right-to-left languages mirror the whole site and the whole admin, not just the text. The admin itself speaks five languages.

## Pillar 3: text

PHP 8.4 and MariaDB on one small VPS. No build step, no node_modules, no compiled cache: it boots from the sources on plain OPcache. One to five trusted editors, MIT licence, your data on your server.

## Scores: note

The default theme of the site skeleton, measured with Lighthouse — including Google's new agentic browsing audit, which checks that AI agents can use a site.

## Quick start: introduction

Start a site with Composer, then fill .env, run the migrations and create the first administrator — install.md in the skeleton covers every path: your computer or a server, with Docker or without, shared hosting. Or open your coding agent in an empty folder and paste the prompt. It asks before it installs packages or changes a server, and you type the secrets yourself.

## The agent prompt

Clone https://github.com/yanfishel/atarcms.git with --depth 1 into a temporary folder\
(install git first if it is missing), read .agents/skills/building-atarcms-sites/references/install.md\
there and install AtarCMS: into ./my-site on this computer, or into /var/www/\<site> on a server;\
then open the site's folder and continue with its skill.
