The structured source of truth for Terence Tao's web content — book errata, papers, CV, teaching, contact/policies, travel, collaborative projects, and curated links. The data lives as YAML, is validated against JSON Schema, and is rendered to a static site published at https://teorth.github.io/tao-web/ via GitHub Pages. The YAML is the ground truth; the pages are generated (with AI assistance).

data/<type>/*.yaml    # ground truth, one directory per content type
schema/*.schema.json  # the contract each data file must satisfy
scripts/validate.py   # validate all data against the schemas (CI gate)
scripts/build.py      # render YAML -> static HTML into site/
site/                 # generated output (gitignored; built in CI)
.github/workflows/    # validate + build + publish to Pages on push to main

Each type is a directory under data/ with a matching schema/<type>.schema.json that documents every field:

A record is plain YAML; e.g. one erratum is a page token plus a text correction (with inline math in $...$), where page: "?" marks a known location whose page number is not yet filled in.

pip install -r requirements.txt
python scripts/validate.py   # must pass before pushing
python scripts/build.py      # writes site/; open site/index.html to preview

Everyday edits are just YAML changes; pushing to main revalidates and republishes automatically. Edit the data, never the generated HTML in site/.
