Getting Started with Skrip

date: 2026-01-10author: Taylor Reed

Skrip turns plain markdown files into structured APIs. No databases, no dashboards — just files.

Installation

Add Skrip to your project and point it at a content directory. Your files become the schema.

npm install skriplet

Creating Your First Collection

Create a directory under content/ and drop in some markdown files with frontmatter:

content/
  blog/
    my-first-post.md
    another-post.md

Frontmatter is Your Schema

Whatever keys you put in the frontmatter block become queryable fields:

---
title: My First Post
date: 2026-01-10
tags: [intro, welcome]
published: true
---

Skrip reads these automatically and exposes them via the API.

Fetching Content

Once your files are in place, hit the API:

curl /api/collections/blog
curl /api/collections/blog/my-first-post

That's it. Your content is live.

Frontmatter

  "title": "Getting Started with Skrip",
