Build, extend, deploy and debug sites on Payload CMS: collections, blocks, live preview, drafts, plugins, Postgres or Mongo, Vercel, migrations, and rebuilding an existing site onto Payload. Use when the user mentions Payload, payload.config.ts, @payloadcms packages, or a headless CMS for their site. Complements Payload's own skill with the website workflow and verified pitfalls.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Payload CMS for websites Payload is a TypeScript-first, code-configured headless CMS that installs inside a Next.js app: one project serves the admin panel, the REST and GraphQL APIs, and your frontend. That shape is why it suits "a CMS for all our websites": a site's content model lives in reviewable code, editors get an admin UI, and the frontend reads content through an in-process Local API. This skill is a routing layer over verified reference files. The references were written by reading the Payload source and docs at v3.90.2, the `payloadcms/website` repo (the code behind payloadcms.com), and the live site, on 2026-09-24. Payload's own official skill (named `payload`, installed by `create-payload-app`) covers generic app development; this one adds the website workflow, cloning, deployment and the traps found while reading. They coexist. ## Step 0: establish the version before anything else Payload's `main` branch is a v4 canary while npm `latest` is v3. Advice for one can silently break the other (v4 flips `overrideAccess`, `defaultDepth`, versions defaults and drops Next 15 and Slate). …

How to install
mdr add ivy00johns/skill-madness/payload-cms@sha256:ef6f18d5ada978eaThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
