Content Management

Streamlines building and managing Payload CMS applications with TypeScript-first guidance on configurations, hooks, and access control.

About

This skill empowers Claude to act as an expert architect for Payload CMS projects, a Next.js-native headless CMS. It provides specialized knowledge for designing collection schemas, implementing complex row-level security, and managing data lifecycle hooks. By leveraging this skill, developers can avoid common pitfalls such as Local API security bypasses, transaction failures in hooks, and improper relationship queries. It is particularly useful for building robust, scalable backends with TypeScript-first architecture, ensuring that every part of the CMS—from custom field validation to background job queues—is implemented following industry best practices.
