CrafterCMS has open sourced an MIT-licensed Cursor AI skill that turns static HTML into production-ready CMS sites in minutes, cutting weeks of manual development for digital teams.
CrafterCMS has released an MIT-licensed, open-source Cursor AI skill that automatically converts static HTML templates into fully managed CMS projects, reducing development cycles from days or weeks to minutes. The tool is available via the CrafterCMS Marketplace and as an open-source project on GitHub.
The release targets a long-standing bottleneck in digital experience development, where teams must manually rewrite markup, wire templates to content models, and integrate CMS APIs before a site becomes manageable. That repetitive work has traditionally slowed launches and tied up engineering resources.
The new AI skill analyses raw HTML and automatically generates project structure, content models, template wiring, and platform integration to produce a fully managed, Git-backed CrafterCMS site. The workflow runs directly inside Cursor with AI assistance, embedding automation within the developer environment rather than relying on external scripts.
“This release demonstrates how AI can dramatically improve developer productivity in real-world CMS projects,” said Mike Vertal, CEO of CrafterCMS. “Instead of spending days or weeks converting static templates into CMS-managed experiences, teams can now do it in minutes, directly within the user-friendly CrafterCMS authoring environment.”
Built on Git-based DevContentOps practices, the skill supports version control, CI/CD, collaboration, and full extensibility. Marketing sites, portals, intranets, customer applications, and multi-site deployments stand to benefit, while content authors gain faster publishing without developer bottlenecks.
