astro

astro is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ianshk/astro-skills. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,220 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building static websites with Astro, a web framework that generates pages ahead of time. It covers Astro pages and components, content collections, images, search settings, page lists, and deployment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or editing .astro files, building a static site, organizing structured content, adding page-by-page search information, optimizing images, or deploying the generated site.
Why use it?
It helps an agent follow the project’s expected Astro structure and avoid sending unnecessary JavaScript to visitors. It also collects common decisions for content, images, search visibility, and publishing in one place.

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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00072 $0.01220
Opus 5 $0.00036 $0.00610
Sonnet 5 $0.00014 $0.00244
Haiku 4.5 $0.00007 $0.00122

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 10d 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.

Astro Skill

Reference for building static Astro sites (output: 'static'). Covers architecture decisions, content collections, SEO, image optimization, pagination, and deployment patterns.

Consult docs.astro.build and llms.txt for latest APIs when needed.


References

Read these files for detailed patterns and templates:

Reference What it covers
content-collections.md Schemas (z.image, z.enum, reference()), querying, dynamic routes, entry.body
image-optimizations.md <Image /> component, downscaling tip, SVG components, aspect ratios
seo-checklist.md Head component, per-page checklist, structured data (JSON-LD), hreflang, content rules
pagination.md paginate(), nested pagination, page prop

Architecture Rules

1. Astro-first

  • .astro files for everything presentational — zero JS shipped to client.
  • Framework components (.tsx, .svelte, .vue, etc.) only when interactivity is needed.

2. Minimal hydration

Use the lightest client:* directive that works:

Directive Use case
client:load Critical above-the-fold interactivity
client:idle Non-critical (modals, popovers)
client:visible Below-the-fold widgets
client:media Screen-size-specific UI (e.g. mobile sidebar toggle)
client:only="<framework>" Browser-only APIs (e.g. localStorage, WebGL)

3. Keep islands small

  • Wrap only the interactive subtree in a framework component. Surrounding static markup stays in .astro.
  • Pass data via props from the .astro parent — never refetch inside islands.

4. Fonts via Fontsource

Always install fonts locally via Fontsource npm packages — never Google Fonts CDN links.

Example if using Inter

npm install @fontsource-variable/inter

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
