CTO Coach Directory

This repository contains the source code and data for the CTO Coach Directory project. It includes a static website built with Eleventy (11ty) and a YAML-based database of CTO coaches.

Project Overview

• Static Site Generator: Eleventy (11ty)
• Data Storage: YAML files in src/coaches/
• Styling: Custom CSS in src/assets/styles.css
• Automation: Integrated with GitHub MCP server for advanced automation and GitHub API access
• Repository: cto-coach-directory (private)

Setup & Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/wioota/cto-coach-directory.git
   cd cto-coach-directory

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

Building the Site

To build the static site, run:

npx eleventy

or, if you have Eleventy installed globally:

eleventy

The output will be generated in the _site/ directory.

Development Server

To start a local development server with live reload:

npx eleventy --serve

or

npm run start

(if a start script is defined in package.json)

Maintaining the Database

The "database" for this project consists of YAML files located in src/coaches/. Each file represents one or more CTO coaches.

To add or update a coach

1. Open or create a YAML file in src/coaches/ (e.g., coaches.yaml).

2. Follow the schema defined in cto_coaches.schema.yaml to ensure data consistency.

3. Example entry:

   - name: Jane Doe
     title: CTO
     company: Example Corp
     expertise:
       - SaaS
       - Cloud Architecture
     bio: >
       Jane has 20+ years of experience leading technology teams...

4. Save your changes. The site will automatically include new or updated coaches on the next build.

Schema Reference

See cto_coaches.schema.yaml for the full data structure and required fields.
