+# OpenGraph Image Generation System
+
+This document explains how the OG image generation system works and how to operate it.
+
+## Overview
+
+The OG system generates social media preview images for all blog posts, videos, and other content. It was designed with two critical goals:
+
+1. **⚡ Performance** - OG images must be served extremely fast from filesystem cache
+2. **🎨 Quality & Uniformity** - Every page needs excellent, consistent OG images for maximum click-through rates
+
+The system uses a **two-step build-time process** to achieve these goals:
+
+1. **Metadata Extraction** → Extracts metadata from all MDX files to JSON cache
+2. **Image Generation** → Reads cache and generates OG images via API
+
+## Design Goals
+
+### 🚀 Ultra-Fast Serving
+- **Static file serving** - OG images are pre-generated and served from filesystem
+- **No runtime generation** - Zero API calls or processing when users share links
+- **CDN-optimized** - Images can be cached at edge locations for global speed
+- **Build-time validation** - Broken images caught before deployment
+
+### 🎯 Maximum Engagement
+- **Consistent branding** - All OG images use the same template and styling
+- **Rich content** - Images include title, description, and relevant visuals
+- **Social platform optimized** - Proper dimensions and formats for Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
+- **Quality control** - Every page is guaranteed to have a beautiful OG image
+
+### 📈 Click-Through Impact
+Well-designed OG images are crucial for:
+- **Social media engagement** - Users stop scrolling when they see compelling previews
+- **Professional appearance** - Consistent branding builds trust and authority  
+- **Content discovery** - Rich previews help users understand what they're clicking
+- **SEO benefits** - Social signals from shares improve search rankings
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+MDX Files → extract-metadata.js → metadata-cache.json → og-image-generator.js → Static OG Images → Fast Serving
+```
+
+### Files
+
+- `scripts/extract-metadata.js` - Extracts metadata from all MDX files
+- `scripts/og-image-generator.js` - Generates OG images from metadata cache  
+- `metadata-cache.json` - JSON cache of all content metadata (gitignored)
+- `public/og-images/` - Generated OG image files (served statically)
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Metadata Extraction
+
+Parses all MDX files in `src/content/` and extracts metadata from `createMetadata()` calls:
+
+```bash
+node scripts/extract-metadata.js
+```
+
+**What it extracts:**
+- Title, description, author, date
+- Image references and resolves import paths
+- Content type and slug
+
+**Output:** `metadata-cache.json` with all content metadata
+
+### 2. OG Image Generation
+
+Reads the metadata cache and generates images via the Next.js OG API:
+
+```bash
+# Generate all OG images
+npm run og:generate
+
+# Generate specific image
+npm run og:generate-for <slug>
+
+# With verbose logging
+npm run og:generate-for <slug> --verbose
+```
+
+## Build Integration
+
+The system is integrated into the build process:
+
+```json
+{
+  "prebuild": "node scripts/extract-metadata.js && node scripts/check-metadata.js && node scripts/generate-collections.js"
+}
+```
+
+**Build flow:**
+1. `extract-metadata.js` creates fresh metadata cache
+2. OG images are generated as needed during build
+3. Images are cached and only regenerated if missing
+
+## Manual Operations
+
+### Regenerate All Metadata
+```bash
+node scripts/extract-metadata.js
+```
+
+### Regenerate All OG Images
+```bash
+npm run og:clean
+npm run og:generate
+```
+
+### Generate Single OG Image
+```bash
+npm run og:generate-for your-blog-post-slug
+```
+
+### Debug Metadata Extraction
+```bash
+# View extracted metadata for specific post
+cat metadata-cache.json | grep -A 10 "your-blog-post-slug"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Wrong description in OG image"
+**Problem:** OG image shows text from code samples instead of actual metadata.
+
+**Solution:** The metadata extraction targets `createMetadata()` calls specifically. Regenerate the cache:
+```bash
+node scripts/extract-metadata.js
+rm public/og-images/problematic-slug.png
+npm run og:generate-for problematic-slug
+```
+
+### "No metadata found in cache"
+**Problem:** Post exists but not in metadata cache.
+
+**Check:**
+1. Does the MDX file have `export const metadata = createMetadata({...})`?
+2. Is the metadata cache up to date?
+
+**Fix:**
+```bash
+node scripts/extract-metadata.js
+```
+
+### "Metadata cache not found"
+**Problem:** OG generation fails because cache doesn't exist.
+
+**Fix:**
+```bash
+node scripts/extract-metadata.js
+```
+
+### "OG generation fails"
+**Problem:** API errors when generating images.
+
+**Debug:**
+```bash
+# Check if dev server is running
+npm run og:generate-for <slug> --verbose
+```
+
+## Development Notes
+
+- **Metadata cache is gitignored** - regenerated on each build
+- **Images are cached** - only regenerated if missing or forced
+- **Regex parsing is targeted** - only looks within `createMetadata()` calls
+- **Build-time validation** - metadata issues caught early
+
+## Performance
+
+The system is optimized for both build-time efficiency and runtime speed:
+
+### Build Performance
+- Metadata extraction: ~200ms for 130+ posts
+- OG generation: ~2-3s per image (cached after first generation)
+- Total build impact: minimal (only runs once per build)
+
+### Runtime Performance 
+- **Zero server load** - All OG images served as static files
+- **Instant response** - No API calls or processing when pages are shared
+- **CDN-friendly** - Images cached globally for maximum speed
+- **SEO optimized** - Fast loading improves social platform crawling
+
+### Business Impact
+- **Higher engagement** - Fast-loading, beautiful previews increase click-through rates
+- **Better SEO** - Social shares with rich previews boost search rankings  
+- **Professional brand** - Consistent, high-quality images build trust and authority
+- **Reduced bounce** - Users know what to expect before clicking, leading to better engagement
