CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Local Development

bundle install              # install Ruby dependencies (delete Gemfile.lock first if errors occur)
bundle exec jekyll liveserve  # serve at localhost:4000 with live reload
bundle exec jekyll serve      # serve without live reload

The _config.yml is not reloaded automatically — restart the server after changing it. Use _config.dev.yml to override settings for local development.

Architecture

This is a Jekyll academic website based on the academicpages template (forked from Minimal Mistakes). The site has been trimmed down to the pages actually in use:

• _pages/about.md — homepage / bio (permalink /)
• _pages/publications.md — hand-written list of publications (permalink /publications/)
• _pages/cv.md — CV (permalink /cv/)
• _pages/404.md — not-found page

Site configuration: _config.yml controls author profile, social links, analytics, collections, and permalink structure. Navigation menus are in _data/navigation.yml.

Theming: Layouts live in _layouts/, partials in _includes/, and SCSS in _sass/. The assets/ folder holds compiled JS and CSS.

Adding Content

Publications are maintained directly as markdown in _pages/publications.md (not generated from data files). New standalone pages go in _pages/ with YAML frontmatter and a permalink; add a link in _data/navigation.yml to surface them in the top menu.
