Glossary

Use this page when a Fimo command or guide introduces an unfamiliar term. Follow the linked task guides when you need to complete a workflow.

​

Core

​

Site

One website and its code, content, media, and settings. Every site belongs to an organization.

​

Organization

The workspace that contains sites and teammates. The CLI uses an active organization when a command needs an organization and you do not pass one.

​

Fimo CLI

The command-line tool that you and your coding agent use to work with Fimo. See the CLI reference for its commands.

​

Fimo Studio

The visual app for editing and managing a Fimo site. See the Studio overview for its available tools.

​

Branch

An isolated place for site work, associated with a git branch. Branches let you change and review a site before merging it into another Branch.

​

Environment

A site setting that groups Branches for deployment. Fimo provides built-in Environments and supports custom Environments through the CLI.

​

Preview

A hosted, shareable version of a Branch. Run fimo deploy to push changes to it, or fimo preview url to get its address without deploying.

​

Production

Your live public website. Publishing updates it from main.

​

Content & media

​

CMS (Content Management System)

The built-in store that keeps your site’s structured content in one place, editable without touching code. Fimo’s core rule: content lives in the CMS, never hardcoded in JSX.

​

Schema

A content model that defines the fields in a content type. For example, a BlogPost schema might have title, image, and body fields. Push schemas with fimo schemas push.

​

Entry

One record of a schema, such as a blog post or product. Create and query entries with fimo entries.

​

Single

One set of content for a schema, such as a homepage or site settings. Singles are read and updated with fimo singles, without an entry ID, and edited by non-developers in Studio.

​

Media library

The site area for uploaded images, videos, and files. Manage it with fimo assets or in Studio.

​

AI media generation

Creating or transforming images and video with commands such as fimo image generate, fimo image edit, and fimo video generate.

​

Form

A form registered with Fimo through fimo forms push. Read its visitor submissions with fimo forms submissions.

​

Localization

​

Label

A piece of static UI copy (headings, buttons, nav, placeholders) wrapped in t('key') in code, with its value stored in Fimo so editors can reword it without a code change.

​

Locale

A language or regional variant of your site, such as en, es, or pt-BR. A site has one default locale and can add others.

​

AI & agents

​

Coding agent

An AI coding tool that builds or changes your site and can operate Fimo through the CLI.

​

Skills

Instructions that teach a coding agent how to use Fimo. fimo skills install installs the global Fimo skill, and fimo skills get <name> reads a skill supplied by your installed CLI.

​

Rule files

Site instructions for coding agents, such as AGENTS.md and tool-specific rule files.

​

Site agent

A Studio chat with a name and a job. Its routines run by hand or on a schedule. See Give an agent a job.

​

App

An outside service, such as Search Console, Semrush or Slack, or an MCP server your organization adds. An organization admin connects it once, and chat, agents, the CLI and the hosted MCP use it on the sites it is turned on for. See Apps.

​

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

A standard for connecting AI tools to external context and tools. See Build your site from ChatGPT or Claude to connect an AI app to Fimo, or Apps to give your sites tools from another MCP server.

​

Markdown for agents

Markdown output intended for agents, including page content and an llms.txt index when your published site supports it.

​

Deploy & hosting

​

Deploy

Sending site changes to Fimo hosting. Use fimo deploy for a hosted preview and follow the deploy guide when you are ready to publish.

​

Publish

Making the configured Production source Branch live. fimo deploy --publish pushes and publishes, while fimo publish publishes the revision already on the Fimo remote without pushing. New sites use main as their source.

​

Default URL (subdomain)

The <slug>.fimo.site address assigned to a site. Rename its slug with fimo domains rename-default.

​

Custom domain

A hostname you control, such as blog.example.com, attached to a Fimo site. See Custom domains.

​
