Nucleus offers the building blocks needed to create a web presence, whether you wish to create a personal blog, a family page, community blog, news site, travel site, or an online business site. It is an open-source blog management software package, used to manage frequently updated web content. It makes use of a “callback” function which has led to a plug-in system that has inspired numerous distinct plug-ins.

Nucleus uses a database to store content which is manipulated by a number of classes. These classes fall into two groups: core and plug-in.
Core contains basic functionality, including a callback system which is used to trigger plug-ins. By default, Nucleus comes with only one plug-in as a standard, in line with the philosophy that the system should be as light as possible.
Output is rendered using a custom two-layer substitution based template and skin system.

Templates generally provide the form for repeated content (such as listings), whereas the structure is provided by what are called skins. Skins are divided up y type (e.g.: index, item, archive, user, error, search etc.) and are specified separately to each other. This includes files that can be used to reduce repetition of common elements
