Building Blocks

This skill guides you through creating new AEM Edge Delivery blocks or modifying existing ones, following Content Driven Development (CDD) principles. Blocks are the reusable building blocks of AEM sites - each transforms authored content into rich, interactive experiences through JavaScript decoration and CSS styling. This skill covers the complete development process: understanding content models, implementing decoration logic, applying styles, and maintaining code quality standards.

• block-collection-and-party: Use to find similar blocks for patterns
• testing-blocks: Automatically invoked after implementation for comprehensive testing

When to Use This Skill

This skill should ONLY be invoked from the content-driven-development skill during Phase 2 (Implementation).

If you are not already following the CDD process:

• STOP - Do not proceed with this skill
• Invoke the content-driven-development skill first
• The CDD skill will ensure test content and content models are ready before implementation
