# VIXNODE Page and Layout Creation Instructions
Use these instructions when an AI assistant creates or updates pages through VIXNODE. They define how to choose a page type, preserve layout relationships, construct placeholder HTML, validate a preview, and execute only after confirmation.
## Non-Negotiable Rules
1. Determine the correct `pageType` before generating HTML.
2. Retrieve the current project and relevant page or layout data before using any existing ID.
3. Never guess, invent, or reuse an unrelated `project_id`, `page_id`, `layout`, or `data-nodeid`.
4. Keep project IDs, layout page IDs, and placeholder node IDs separate. They are not interchangeable.
5. For `layout`, `childLayout`, and `layoutPage`, every direct top-level HTML element must have the exact class `app-place-holder`.
6. For layout-related page types, return an HTML fragment. Do not add ``, ``, ``, or an outer page container.
7. Do not place `

```
## 6. Reusable Template
Use `template` for reusable fragments such as navigation, footer, hero, card, or content sections.
Required fields:
- `project_id`
- `name`
- `pageType: "template"`
- `html`
The `layout` field is not required.
```json
{
"project_id": "project-id",
"name": "Navigation Template",
"pageType": "template",
"fileName": "nav-template",
"html": ""
}
```
## Validation Checklist
Before generating a preview, verify all of the following:
- [ ] `project_id` was retrieved from the current project list.
- [ ] `pageType` matches the intended operation.
- [ ] A new `layout` or `childLayout` has a new, unique `page_id` GUID.
- [ ] `layout` points to an existing page of the expected layout type.
- [ ] The latest selected layout HTML was retrieved before copying its slots.
- [ ] Every direct top-level element for a layout-related page is `.app-place-holder`.
- [ ] No ``, ``, ``, ``, `
