SiteKit CLI – Enable AI to Build Sitecore Items with Templates

Enable AI to Build Sitecore Structures with YAML Templates.

A CLI that helps developers create Sitecore structures using simple YAML templates.

Example: a component in Sitecore usually means creating several items across different locations.

With this CLI, you define the component once - no extra fields, no scattered items.

Creating Sitecore components and page types items by hand is tedious, error-prone, and hard to standardize across teams.

SiteKit keeps it simple: define in YAML → run CLI → items are created in Sitecore

It’s designed to be simple for humans, which in turn makes it easy for AI to understand.

Write YAML files for what you need:

• Page types
• Components
• Dictionary entries
• Partials
• Defaults

The CLI reads the YAMLs and pushes everything to Sitecore via GraphQL, it works with local container, XP and XM Cloud.

Benefits of Using YAML

• Simple to read and write – clean, human-friendly format.
• Editor support – Red Hat YAML extension in VS Code gives autocomplete + validation.
• AI-friendly – structured YAML is easy for generative AI to read and even create.

SiteKit Installation and Quick Start Guide

Install SiteKit and run sitekit init -s SiteName on a new scaffolded website. All YAMLs are generated inside /.sitekit/SiteName. They come prefilled with a basic working example that is self-descriptive, making it easy to follow and extend.

Define components, page types, etc, and run sitekit deploy -s SiteName to create all items in Sitecore.
