Astro Starlight

Production-ready documentation theme for Astro with built-in search, dark mode, i18n, and rich plugin ecosystem.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

  1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing Starlight config, sidebar, and content structure
  2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify Starlight plugin APIs via Context7/Exa
  3. mcp__context7__query-docs - Check Starlight docs for Content Layer and i18n patterns

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.


Overview

When to Use

  • Building technical documentation sites
  • Creating API reference docs (with starlight-openapi)
  • Generating docs from TypeScript types (with starlight-typedoc)
  • Adding a blog to a documentation site (with starlight-blog)
  • Setting up versioned documentation (with starlight-versions)
  • Multi-language documentation with hreflang support

Best Practices

  1. Start with filesystem sidebar - Add manual config only when needed
  2. Keep Pagefind for small sites - DocSearch for high-traffic or large docs
  3. Use starlight-llms-txt - AI crawlers increasingly important for docs
  4. Content Layer schema - Type-safe frontmatter prevents runtime errors
  5. CSS custom properties - Override theme without component slots
