Astro Setup

What it does

The astro-setup skill automates the initial configuration and setup of an Astro project. It handles tasks like creating a new project directory, installing necessary dependencies (including Astro itself), and setting up basic file structures. This allows users to quickly get started with building websites using the Astro framework without manual command-line execution.

When to use it

• You want to quickly create a new Astro project from scratch.
• You're unfamiliar with the initial setup steps for an Astro project and prefer an automated solution.
• You need to rapidly prototype or experiment with different Astro configurations.
• You are teaching someone how to use Astro and want to simplify the onboarding process.

Key capabilities

• Project directory creation
• Dependency installation (Astro framework)
• Basic file structure setup

Example prompts

• "Create a new Astro project called 'my-blog'."
• "Set up an Astro project with the default configuration."
• "Initialize a basic Astro website."

Tips & gotchas

The skill assumes you have Node.js and npm (or yarn/pnpm) installed on your system, as these are required for installing dependencies. While it automates setup, familiarity with Astro's concepts will still be helpful for further development.
