astro

astro is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from G1Joshi/Agent-Skills. It costs 19 tokens per session (490 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A web framework for content-focused sites that sends mostly static HTML and loads JavaScript only for interactive parts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for blogs, documentation, marketing sites, and other pages where fast content delivery matters.
Why use it?
It reduces the amount of code sent to visitors while still allowing React, Vue, or Svelte components where interaction is needed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

astro scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Astro

Astro is a web framework popularized for "Islands Architecture". It ships zero JavaScript to the client by default, hydrating only the interactive parts. Astro 5 (2025) introduces Server Islands.

When to Use

  • Content Sites: Blogs, Documentation, Marketing sites.
  • Multi-Framework: Use React, Vue, and Svelte components on the same page.
  • Performance: Hard to beat for static content.

Quick Start

---
// Server-side code (Frontmatter) runs at build/request time
const data = await fetch('https://api.myjson.com').then(r => r.json());
---

<html>
  <body>
    <h1>{data.title}</h1>
    <!-- Client Directive: This React component hydrates on load -->
    <MyReactComponent client:load />

    <!-- This Svelte component hydrates only when visible -->
    <MySvelteComponent client:visible />
  </body>
</html>

Core Concepts

Islands Architecture

The page is static HTML. Interactive widgets are "islands" floating in it. They hydrate independently.

Server Islands (Astro 5)

Async islands. The page loads instantly (static), and a specific island (e.g., "User Profile") loads asynchronously from the server and fades in.

Content Collections

Type-safe way to manage Markdown/MDX content.

const blogCollection = defineCollection({
  schema: z.object({ title: z.string(), date: z.date() }),
});

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Use Server Islands: For dynamic personalization (e.g., "Logged in as Jeevan") without forcing the whole page to be dynamic (SSR).
  • Use <Image />: Astro's optimized image component is essential for LCP.
  • Mix Frameworks: Don't be afraid to use React for a complex search bar and Svelte for a simple toggle on the same site.

Don't:

  • Don't use for complex dashboards: While possible (Hybrid Rendering), Next.js or Remix are often better suited for highly dynamic, authenticated apps.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
