Golem provides a scaffolding command golem init to generate a ready-to-build workspace:

golem init my-project
cd my-project

This creates the standard standalone documentation structure:

my-project/
├── golem.toml          # Site and build configuration
└── content/            # AsciiDoc source files
    └── index.adoc      # Homepage entry point

Generate structured chapter or article skeletons with golem new:

golem new chapter "Getting Started"

This creates content/getting-started.adoc with standard headers and metadata.

Compile the documentation into static HTML5:

golem build

By default, Golem reads AsciiDoc sources from content/ and writes static output to dist/.

Start Golem's development server to preview changes in real time:

golem serve --port 8000

Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000. The server automatically watches your source files and live-reloads connected browser tabs over Server-Sent Events (SSE).
