      The Nextra Blog Theme (`nextra-theme-blog`) provides a minimal, clean
      blog layout built on Nextra. It supports post listings with tags and
      dates, RSS feed generation, and basic theming. Blog posts are written as
      MDX files under the `posts/` directory, and front matter fields such as
      `title`, `date`, `description`, and `tag` drive the post listing index.
