Rabbithole

Rust LLM-powered dynamic website generator — Documentation

Example: ACAPA — Regional Chapters Page Examples

This page documents and analyzes the Regional Chapters page as generated by Rabbithole for the fictional American Competitive Apple Picking Association (ACAPA) demo site — one of the canonical test deployments used throughout this documentation to illustrate Rabbithole’s behavior across a multi-page site with rich shared lore.

The ACAPA site was seeded from a single homepage prompt and allowed to propagate organically via Rabbithole’s link-mapping system. The Regional Chapters page is a second- or third-generation descendant of the seed, reached via the About → Organization → Chapters navigation path (though direct links also appear from the homepage sidebar).

Design Analysis

The seed prompt specified a plain-HTML style consistent with classic GNU/FSF documentation pages (white background, Arial/Helvetica body font, no gradients, no JavaScript, blue/purple link colors). Below is an annotated comparison of the generated page against that specification.

What the Generator Got Right

Noted Drift: Table Column Width Imbalance

The one area of drift from the seed design is in the chapter data table. The seed prompt implied a clean, evenly-weighted table layout. The generator, however, allocated disproportionate width to the “Upcoming Events” column, causing the “Founded” and “Members” columns to appear cramped on narrower viewport widths. This is a known behavior in Rabbithole-generated tables: the LLM tends to expand the last prose-heavy column without explicit width hints in the prompt.

Mitigation: Including explicit column-width guidance (e.g., table columns: name 25%, director 20%, founded 8%, members 8%, events 39%) in the seed or sub-page prompt reliably prevents this. See Configuration for prompt-engineering tips.

This drift does not affect lore correctness, link structure, or any functional aspect of the page — it is purely a presentational artifact of the generation pass.

Page Content Summary

The Regional Chapters page documents all 12 official ACAPA chapters. Key lore elements correctly reflected on the generated page include:

• The New England Chapter (est. 1989) is correctly identified as the oldest chapter.
• The Cortland apple is noted as the official competition variety since 1993, in the page’s introductory copy.
• Commissioner Gerald T. Pottsworth III is referenced in the footer/masthead.
• Champion Darlene Kowalczyk (4× champion: 1999, 2002, 2006, 2011) appears in a sidebar callout on the New England Chapter row, as she is affiliated with that chapter.
• The 2019 Branson Incident is alluded to in a footnote on the Missouri-Ozarks chapter entry.
• Amendment 7(c) is cited in a note about eligibility rules on the Great Plains chapter entry.
• NAAPA is referenced obliquely in the Southwest chapter’s events column (“inter-association invitational, details pending” — a nod to the ongoing ACAPA/NAAPA rivalry).
• ACAPA HQ address (4417 Orchard Way, Geneva, IL 60134) appears in the page footer.

Prompt Used to Generate This Page

Below is the prompt that was passed to Rabbithole’s LLM backend to produce the Regional Chapters page. This prompt was itself generated by the parent page (ACAPA About/Organization) and stored in the URL mapping. It demonstrates how lore and design constraints propagate through Rabbithole’s multi-generation link system.

Observe how the prompt encodes: the fictional lore, specific design constraints, navigation structure, and the required data schema for the table — all in a compact block that the next-generation LLM call can operate on entirely in isolation.

Key Observations for Developers

• Table column drift is the most common layout deviation in data-heavy Rabbithole pages. Always include explicit width hints for tables with 5+ columns. See Configuration → Prompt Engineering.
• Lore propagation is reliable when key facts (names, dates, addresses) are encoded directly in the prompt as short key-value pairs rather than narrative prose.
• Footnote/annotation behavior (e.g., the Branson Incident note) emerges from the LLM’s inference about which lore elements are contextually relevant to a given table row — this was not explicitly requested in the prompt. It is a feature of Rabbithole’s generative approach, not a bug.
• NAAPA cross-reference in the Southwest chapter events column demonstrates that the LLM correctly infers competitive tension from the rivalry lore even without explicit instruction to surface it on this particular page.
• The New England chapter’s Darlene Kowalczyk callout in the events column is another example of unsolicited but contextually appropriate inference. The chapter–champion association was encoded in the prompt, but its placement was left to the model.
