Collections
Author Biography
The unified author and team-member registry. Every article, card, and podcast episode references a person entry.
The people collection is the single source of truth for everyone on the platform: article authors, press release contacts, podcast hosts, and team members shown on /team. Every other collection that references a person does so by slug — the filename without the extension.
A person entry is created once. It can appear as an author on any number of articles, as a podcast host, and on the public team page, controlled by the isAuthor and isTeam flags.
Files live in content/people/ and are named firstname-lastname.md (all lowercase, hyphenated).
