Prompt to Pipeline
The most replicable build on this site. A reader could follow along this weekend and ship a live site by Sunday.
- Claude Code generates the app The site starts as a prompt. Claude Code writes the pages, the structure, and the config, with a human reviewing each block before moving on.
- GitHub Actions handles CI/CD A push to the production branch triggers a workflow that validates the content and deploys it. No manual upload, no console clicking.
- Azure Static Web Apps hosts it Static Web Apps serves the repo, applies the route rules, and hands every pull request its own preview environment for free.
- What broke, what got fixed Route rewrites that did not match, a config fallback pointing at the wrong file, fonts loading inconsistently. Each one got caught in a preview before it reached production.
- What the final pipeline looks like Prompt in, validated static site out, deployed in about two minutes, with a staging mirror that gates anything risky before it goes live.
This is the pipeline that builds and ships this very site.
