+# PureSkill.gg GitHub Pages Site
+
+[![GitHub Pages](https://img.shields.io/badge/GitHub%20Pages-dev.pureskill.gg-53ac67)](https://dev.pureskill.gg)
+
+A minimal static GitHub Pages site for the `dev.pureskill.gg` custom domain — a hand-written redirect landing page, a custom 404 page, and the configuration that binds them to the domain.
+
+## What it does
+
+This repo is a static GitHub Pages site with **no build system, no dependencies, and no backend code**. It contains exactly two content pages plus configuration:
+
+- **`index.html`** — The landing page. It renders the PureSkill.gg logo and immediately redirects every visitor to the PureSkill.gg GitHub organization via a meta-refresh tag:
+
+  ```html
+  <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url='https://github.com/pureskillgg'" />
+  ```
+
+  Its `<body>` uses the class `cdn-error`, and all styling and icons are loaded from the production webapp CDN at `csgo.cdn.pureskill.app` (logo SVG, favicons, and the main CSS chunk).
+
+- **`404.html`** — The custom GitHub Pages not-found page. It shows the same branding with the CS-themed message **"Ran through smoke! We couldn't find this page."** and a link back to the docs site, `https://docs.pureskill.gg`. It is byte-for-byte identical to `index.html` except it carries the error copy instead of the meta-refresh redirect.
+
+Configuration completes the setup:
+
+- **`CNAME`** — Contains `dev.pureskill.gg`, telling GitHub Pages to serve this repo at that custom domain.
+- **`.nojekyll`** — An empty marker file that disables GitHub's default Jekyll build so the raw files are served verbatim.
+- **`LICENSE.txt`** — A one-line copyright notice for FPS Critic, Inc. (2019–2022), the company behind PureSkill.gg.
+
+There are no Lambdas, handlers, Step Functions, queues, Serverless/Terraform configs, package manifests, GitHub Actions workflows, or source directories. The entire repository's behavior is: **serve two static pages and redirect.**
+
+## Pipeline role
+
+This repo is **not part of the CS2 data or coaching pipeline** — it produces and consumes no match, replay, csds, or assessment data. It is the org's GitHub Pages repo whose name (`<org>.github.io`) is what makes GitHub serve it, and the `CNAME` binds it to the custom domain `dev.pureskill.gg`.
+
+It is purely web-presence / infrastructure glue. It **borrows** branding assets (logo, CSS, favicons) from the production webapp CDN at `csgo.cdn.pureskill.app` — it does not own or provision that CDN — and points visitors at:
+
+- the GitHub org, `https://github.com/pureskillgg` (from `index.html`), and
+- the docs site, `https://docs.pureskill.gg` (from `404.html`).
+
+If the CDN is unreachable, the pages degrade gracefully to the `cdn-error` body styling.
+
+## Files
+
+Only the files actually tracked in this repo are listed.
+
+| File          | Role                                                                                                          |
+| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `index.html`  | Landing page: shows the logo and meta-refresh-redirects to `https://github.com/pureskillgg`. Body class `cdn-error`. |
+| `404.html`    | Custom GitHub Pages not-found page ("Ran through smoke!") linking to `https://docs.pureskill.gg`.            |
+| `CNAME`       | Binds the GitHub Pages site to the custom domain `dev.pureskill.gg`.                                          |
+| `.nojekyll`   | Empty marker that disables Jekyll so files are served verbatim.                                              |
+| `LICENSE.txt` | Copyright notice for FPS Critic, Inc.                                                                         |
+
+## Local preview
+
+There is nothing to build. To preview the pages locally, serve the repo root with any static file server, for example:
+
+```
+$ python3 -m http.server 8080
+```
+
+…then open <http://localhost:8080/index.html> or <http://localhost:8080/404.html>. The logo, favicons, and CSS load over the network from `csgo.cdn.pureskill.app`.
+
+## Deployment
+
+Deployment is handled entirely by **GitHub Pages** — there is no CI workflow in this repo.
+
+- GitHub serves this repo because of its name, `pureskillgg.github.io`.
+- The site is published from the `master` branch root; pushing to `master` publishes the change.
+- `.nojekyll` disables Jekyll, so the raw HTML is served exactly as committed.
+- `CNAME` maps the published site to the custom domain **`dev.pureskill.gg`**, and GitHub Pages provisions and renews the TLS certificate.
+
+## Logs / Observability
+
+This repo owns no AWS resources — there are no CloudWatch log groups, DLQs, Step Functions, Sentry integration, or `LOG_LEVEL` config. Hosting, TLS, and availability are GitHub Pages' responsibility, so deployment status surfaces through GitHub rather than AWS:
+
+- **Build / deploy status** — the repo's **Deployments** view and the **github-pages** environment on GitHub show each Pages publish and whether it succeeded.
+- **Custom domain / DNS / TLS** — **Settings → Pages** shows the `dev.pureskill.gg` custom-domain state and certificate provisioning.
+- **Runtime "errors"** — the only failure mode in the pages themselves is the production CDN (`csgo.cdn.pureskill.app`) being unreachable, in which case the pages fall back to the `cdn-error` body styling. This repo does not provision or monitor that CDN.
+
+## Contributing
+
+Edits are just edits to the two HTML files or the configuration. Open a pull request; merging to `master` deploys to `dev.pureskill.gg` via GitHub Pages. Keep the assets pointed at the production CDN host and preserve the `cdn-error` body class so the fallback styling continues to work.
