AGENTS.md — The Fat Dragon website

This file tells any AI coding assistant how to work on this website. Read it before making changes.

What this is

The live website for The Fat Dragon — a board-game café & arcade in Ashbourne, Co. Meath. It is a plain static site: hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript with no build step and no dependencies. The files in this repo are served to visitors exactly as they are committed — what you see locally is what goes live.

The site is live at https://thefatdragon.bcgen.ie.

Repo map

Path	What it is
index.html	Home page
arcade.html, board-games.html, events.html, find-us.html	Top-level pages
book-now/	Booking pages (index.html, arcade.html, dnd.html, table-games.html)
css/style.css	All styling (single stylesheet)
js/main.js	All page JavaScript (nav toggle, etc.)
assets/	Images (.webp photos, logo)
.forgejo/	Deploy automation — do not touch (see "Guardrails")

Links between pages are absolute (e.g. /css/style.css, /book-now/). That is why you must preview through a local web server, not by opening the .html file directly.

The workflow (follow this every time)

1. Make changes on a branch

Never edit main directly. Start from an up-to-date main and create a branch:

git checkout main && git pull
git checkout -b describe-your-change      # e.g. update-opening-hours

2. Preview locally before shipping

From the repo root, start a local server and open it in a browser:

python3 -m http.server 8000
# then open http://localhost:8000

(No Python? npx serve or any static file server works — just serve the repo root.)

Visually check every page you touched. Do not ship a change you have not previewed.

3. Open a pull request into main

When it looks right, commit, push the branch, and open a PR targeting main:

git add -A
git commit -m "Update opening hours on Find Us page"
git push -u origin describe-your-change

Then open the pull request (UI or API) with main as the base. Use PRs even though direct pushes are allowed — they keep a clean, reviewable history of every change.

4. Merge to publish

Merging the PR into main triggers automatic deployment. The live site at https://thefatdragon.bcgen.ie updates within about a minute. There is nothing else to run or deploy.

Guardrails

• Keep it dependency-free static HTML/CSS/JS. No frameworks, bundlers, or build tools — anything added to the repo is served raw.
• Never edit .forgejo/ or anything related to deployment/hosting. That is managed separately; changing it can break publishing.
• Keep new images in assets/, use .webp where possible, and keep them reasonably small so pages load fast.
• After editing, check that internal links and images still resolve (you'll catch this in the local preview).
• Match the existing style: the look uses the Playfair Display / Orbitron / Inter fonts and the classes already defined in css/style.css — reuse them rather than inventing new patterns.
