The block reference
Every block type in 13 families — when to use each, with a live example, generated from the authoring skill.
Chiltepin ships a growing library of typed block types in 13 families. Each family page below says what every block is for, how to choose between neighbours, and carries a live, editable starter example — converted at build time from the same skill an AI agent reads when it authors Chiltepin docs, so the website can never drift from the schema.
Prefer pictures? The block catalog renders every block's starter
template on one page. For the exact field contract of one block — every
field, enum, and terse one-line form, generated from the schema — run
npx chiltepin block <type>; npx chiltepin block alone lists every
type.
