Claude 7e49af8494 fix: Use nicknames in Ghost Page Builder templates (not real names)
PRIVACY FIX:
- Trinity Layout template: Real names → Nicknames
  - Meg → GingerFury
  - Holly → unicorn20089
  - Michael → Frostystyle
- Trinity Card Grid template: Same fix

POLICY:
Public-facing content uses nicknames only.
Real names only in internal documentation.

Caught by Michael during testing checkpoint.

Created: March 22, 2026
Version: 1.0
Author: Chronicler #39

  • Sample Templates (Blank, Simple, Two Column, Card Grid)
  • Auto-save to localStorage
  • Copy to Clipboard for easy Ghost Admin pasting
  • Tab Key Support (inserts 2 spaces, maintains cursor position)

Usage

Quick Start

  1. Open ghost-page-builder.jsx in Claude (upload to chat)

  3. Start typing HTML in the left pane
  4. See live preview in the right pane
  5. Toggle viewport to test mobile/tablet
  6. Click "Copy HTML" when satisfied

  3. Add content paragraphs
  4. Toggle to Mobile view to check responsive layout
  5. Click "Copy HTML"
  6. Open Ghost Admin → Pages → New Page

<p>Creative, building content...</p>

<h2 class="frost-text">❄️ Frost Section</h2>
<p>Technical content...</p>

Technical Details

Architecture:

  • React artifact (single .jsx file)
  • Split-pane layout (editor + preview)
  • Iframe with srcdoc for isolated preview
  • Two-state pattern (instant input + 500ms debounced preview)
  • LocalStorage persistence

CSS Injection Order:

  1. Ghost Theme CSS (Source v1.5.2) - via CDN
  2. Fire/Frost Custom CSS - embedded

Ghost Compatibility:

  • Uses .gh-body and .gh-content wrapper classes
  • Matches Ghost typography and spacing
  • Supports Ghost embed cards (Twitter, YouTube, etc.)

Sandbox Flags:

  • allow-same-origin - Required for CSS loading
  • allow-scripts - Required for Ghost embed cards

Architecture Consultation

This tool was built following architectural guidance from Gemini AI. See full consultation documentation:

File: docs/tasks/ghost-page-builder/gemini-consultation.md

Key decisions:

  • Use iframe srcdoc (not direct document manipulation)
  • Skip CodeMirror for V1 (use styled textarea)
  • Viewport via container resizing (not CSS scale)
  • Tab key intercept with React state timing fix

Troubleshooting

Preview doesn't update

  • Check browser console for errors
  • Ensure you're using a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
  • Try refreshing the page

Tab key moves focus instead of inserting spaces

  • This is a browser issue - the handler should intercept
  • Report as bug if persistent

Copy button doesn't work

  • Browser may block clipboard access
  • Grant clipboard permissions when prompted
  • Try manually selecting and copying

Preview doesn't match Ghost

  • Ensure Ghost wrapper classes are present (.gh-content)
  • Check that Fire/Frost CSS is loading
  • Verify Ghost theme CSS CDN link is accessible
