## Skills

- building-emdash-site: Build the site-facing parts of an EmDash CMS project on Astro, including schema and seeds, content queries, Portable Text rendering, menus, taxonomies, widgets, and deployment configuration.

- wordpress-theme-to-emdash: Port a WordPress theme's design and template behavior to an EmDash-powered Astro site. Use for theme migrations, design matching, PHP-template conversion, and CMS wiring. Do not use for WordPress plugin behavior that does not affect the site theme.
