+# Repository Guidelines
+
+## Project Structure & Module Organization
+- `ghost-upload/`: Rust automation for Ghost CMS publishing.
+- `posts/`: Quarto posts with Julia/Python code per post directory.
+- `public/`: Quarto build output (generated by `quarto render`).
+- Root: Quarto config (`_quarto.yml`), shared assets, CI/CD, docs.
+
+## Build, Test, and Development Commands
+- Rust (`ghost-upload/`):
+  - Build: `cd ghost-upload && cargo build`
+  - Run: `cd ghost-upload && cargo run`
+  - Test: `cd ghost-upload && cargo test` (single: `cargo test <test_name>`)
+  - Lint: `cd ghost-upload && cargo clippy`
+  - Format: `cd ghost-upload && cargo fmt`
+- Julia (root or `posts/*/`):
+  - Packages: `julia -e "using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()"`
+  - Precompile: `julia -e "using Pkg; Pkg.precompile()"`
+  - Run notebook/script: `julia <filename>.jl`
+- Quarto (docs/site):
+  - Build site: `quarto render --to html --output-dir public`
+  - Preview: `quarto preview`
+  - Check: `quarto check`
+- Docker: `docker build -t projects .` then `docker run projects`
+
+## Coding Style & Naming Conventions
+- Rust: `cargo fmt`; fix all `cargo clippy` warnings. Use `?` over `unwrap()`. Imports: std → external → local. Naming: snake_case (fn/vars), PascalCase (types). Public docs with `///`.
+- Julia: 4-space indent; spaces around operators; group `using` at top; snake_case; prefer pipelines `|>` for DataFrames; handle expected errors with try-catch.
+- Quarto: Include title/date in YAML; set `echo: false`, `warning: false` for clean outputs; descriptive figure captions and alt text.
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+- Rust: Unit tests for core logic; add integration tests for API calls. Run with `cargo test`. Organize tests near code or in `tests/`.
+- Julia: Validate transformations and plots visually; keep scripts deterministic.
+- Quarto: Manually review rendered HTML for links, figures, and warnings.
+
+## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
+- Commits: Use clear, conventional messages (e.g., `feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`). Scope small and focused.
+- PRs: Provide description, linked issues, steps to validate (commands), and screenshots of rendered docs when relevant.
+
+## Security & Configuration
+- Environment variables: `kagi_api_key`, `admin_api_key`. Export locally (e.g., `export admin_api_key=...`); never commit secrets.
+- Dependencies: Keep minimal and up-to-date. Prefer configuration via env vars over hardcoded values.
+
+## CI/CD & Deployment
+- GitLab CI builds Docker, renders Quarto to static hosting; Rust runs separately for content sync. Avoid pipeline changes unless necessary; include rationale in PRs if modified.

 # ghost-upload
 
-This code uploads posts from https://projects.ansonbiggs.com to https://notes.ansonbiggs.com. I couldn't figure out how to update posts, and the kagi API doesn't make it clear how long it caches results for so for now only posts that don't exist on the ghost blog will be uploaded. If you want to update content you need to manually make edits to the code and delete posts on the blog.
\ No newline at end of file
+This tool synchronizes posts from https://projects.ansonbiggs.com to the Ghost blog at https://notes.ansonbiggs.com.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Automatic sync**: Only uploads new posts by default
+- **Content extraction**: Fetches clean HTML content instead of using iframes
+- **AI summaries**: Uses Kagi Summarizer for post summaries
+- **Force update**: Manual trigger to update all existing posts
+
+## Usage
+
+### Normal Mode (Default)
+```bash
+cargo run
+```
+Only processes new posts that don't exist on the Ghost blog.
+
+### Force Update Mode
+```bash
+FORCE_UPDATE=true cargo run
+```
+Updates ALL posts, including existing ones. Useful for:
+- Updating content after changes
+- Refreshing summaries
+- Applying new styling/formatting
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+The GitLab CI pipeline includes:
+- **Automatic sync**: Runs after each deployment
+- **Manual force update**: Available as a manual trigger in GitLab UI
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+- `admin_api_key`: Ghost Admin API key (required)
+- `kagi_api_key`: Kagi Summarizer API key (required)  
+- `FORCE_UPDATE`: Set to "true" to update all posts (optional)

+# Test Ghost Profile Output
+
+This is a test document to validate our ghost profile setup.
+
+## Content Structure
+
+The ghost profile should:
+- Remove navigation elements
+- Use minimal styling from ghost-iframe.css
+- Maintain clean article layout
+- Remove table of contents
+
+## Code Example
+
+```julia
+println("Hello from Julia!")
+x = 1 + 1
+```
+
+## Regular Content
+
+This is just some regular markdown content to see how it renders in the ghost profile.
+
+- List item 1
+- List item 2
+- List item 3
+
+**Bold text** and *italic text* should render properly.
+
+[Link to main site](https://projects.ansonbiggs.com)
+
+## Summary
+
+If you can see clean, minimal styling without navigation, the ghost profile is working correctly.
