Custom Codey
Your Squarespace CSS sidekick. Powered by a decade of teaching, hosted here, updated all the time.
Custom Codey is an AI-powered skill for Claude that helps you customize your Squarespace website with vanilla CSS and basic JavaScript. Ask for the change you want, get working code, ship it.
This repository holds the reference data Codey uses to answer your questions — selectors, pro tips, code snippets, and the nuances of Squarespace that most tools miss.
What makes Codey different
Most CSS tools know what a selector is. Codey knows why yours isn't working.
- Built on 10 years of Squarespace teaching. Every entry in this repo comes from real student questions, not scraped from docs.
- Knows the quirks. The "underline" under your active nav link isn't an underline.
:activedoesn't mean "current page." Your mobile menu button uses a different selector when it's open. Codey knows. - Version-aware. Works across Squarespace 7 and 7.1, including theme-specific selectors for Brine, Bedford, Pacific, and York.
- Always current. Squarespace changes things. This repo updates often. Ask Codey to "check for updates" any time.
- Beginner-friendly. No jargon. Copy, paste, save, refresh — Codey walks you through it.
