Content governance for people and AI agents
Contentrain is a Git-based content governance ecosystem that enables people and AI agents to structure and manage digital content faster, with lower development and operational costs.
How it started
Contentrain grew out of agency work. Building modern websites for clients, we kept rebuilding the same thing on every project: a way for people to manage content without touching the code. That need became our first product, a Git-based headless CMS.
$ npx contentrain init --template nuxt-saas
✓ Cloned starter: nuxt-saas
✓ Models, content, and SDK ready
✓ Generated typed client
→ pnpm dev
Why we changed
The product drew interest, but it didn’t grow the way we needed it to. Around the same time, while building our own products, including making Linediff multilingual, we saw the bigger problem. AI made it easy to build a project, but the content stayed buried in the code. Translations, updates and new pages got harder, and agents kept re-reading large files to find context. Once the content had a clear structure, both our agents and our team worked with it far more easily. So we pivoted: Contentrain stopped being a single CMS and became an ecosystem.
- Open-source tools: with MCP, CLI, SDK and Normalize, developers and agents pull content out of the code and structure it inside their projects.
- Studio: our CMS lives on as part of the ecosystem. Teams and agents manage content together, and changes are reviewed before they go live.
- Migrate: moves WordPress sites to Astro, along with their content and template structure.
- Bridge: a free WordPress plugin that exports content as Markdown and JSON.

What comes next
Next, we plan to add three more products: a Website Builder, a documentation app, and an ASO tool for managing app store content. All three will be built on the same content structure. We call this whole approach content governance.

Git is the source of truth
Content lives in your repo as plain JSON and Markdown — every change is a commit, branch, and reviewable diff.
Start local. Scale to Studio.
Build a governed content layer before content becomes product debt.
Start locally with the MIT packages. Add Studio when teams need review, roles, structured editing, managed delivery, or deployment control.
