Primo is an open-source, self-hosted visual CMS that represents entire sites as both a database and a folder of plain files (Svelte components and YAML), so AI coding agents and human editors work on the same source of truth. It ships as a single Go binary with PocketBase/SQLite storage, a Svelte-based visual editor, a CLI for pull/push agent workflows, and static HTML output.
Use cases
- build client websites with AI agents and hand off visual editing to non-technical clients
- manage multiple client sites from one self-hosted dashboard
- edit a website's code locally with Claude Code or Cursor and push changes back to a live CMS
- let marketing teams update copy in the browser without touching code
- generate clean static HTML sites deployable to any static host
- build reusable Svelte block/component libraries shared across sites
When to choose
- you're a freelancer or agency building sites for clients who need to edit content themselves
- you want both full code control and a visual editor without a headless CMS setup
- you want a self-hosted, single-binary CMS with no external service dependencies
- you want AI agents to edit site code while clients edit content simultaneously
When to avoid
- you need a headless CMS API for a custom app frontend rather than full websites
- you need enterprise-scale content operations with complex workflows and permissions
- your stack isn't Svelte-based and you don't want Svelte components as the block model
- you need a fully managed SaaS with SLAs (though hosted plans exist)
