Close plan review: fix Decisions table 404 naming (content/404.md → content/_404.md), check off Verification items, log collect_items() quadruple-call as technical debt, fill in Retrospective. Fix post-changeset staleness: AGENTS.md YAML→TOML reference, add [nav]/[feed]/[sitemap] config tables to AGENTS.md example, mark charter workstream 1 complete.
sukr
Minimal static site compiler — suckless, Rust, zero JS.
sukr transforms Markdown content into high-performance static HTML. No bloated runtimes, no client-side JavaScript, just clean output.
Why sukr?
Most static site generators punt rich content to the browser. sukr doesn't.
- Tree-sitter syntax highlighting — Proper parsing, not regex. Supports language injection (Nix shells, HTML scripts).
- Build-time math — KaTeX renders LaTeX to static HTML. No 300KB JavaScript bundle.
- Build-time diagrams — Mermaid compiles to inline SVG. Diagrams load instantly.
- Tera templates — Customize layouts without recompiling.
- Monorepo support — Multiple sites via
-cflag.

Quick Start
cargo build --release
sukr # Build with ./site.toml
sukr -c docs/site.toml # Custom config (monorepo)
See the Getting Started guide for installation and first-site setup, Configuration for site.toml options, and Content Organization for directory layout.
Security
sukr processes content at build time only — there is no runtime attack surface.
- Untrusted: Markdown content, frontmatter, third-party templates
- Trusted: The compiled sukr binary, Tree-sitter grammars
Raw HTML in Markdown is passed through per CommonMark spec — review content from untrusted sources before building. Templates use Tera's auto-escaping by default.
For deployment security (CSP headers, platform configs), see the Security docs.
