astro-developer

A task-specific guide for developing Astro, a web framework, inside its monorepo—a repository that contains several related packages. It points developers and coding agents to the documentation relevant to a feature, bug, test, or integration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding Astro features, fixing bugs, writing tests, creating integrations, or learning how the codebase is organized.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent finding the right architecture notes, constraints, debugging guidance, and testing rules. It also highlights mistakes such as using Node.js APIs where they are not allowed.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-developer 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Astro Developer Skill

Context-loading skill for AI agents and developers working in the Astro monorepo. Loads relevant documentation based on your task.

Quick Decision Matrix

What are you doing?Read these files:

Task Primary Docs Supporting Docs
Adding a core feature architecture.md, constraints.md testing.md
Fixing a bug debugging.md architecture.md
Writing/fixing tests testing.md constraints.md
Creating an integration Explore packages/integrations/ for examples testing.md
Understanding architecture architecture.md -
Dealing with errors debugging.md, constraints.md testing.md
Understanding constraints constraints.md architecture.md

Critical Warnings

Before you start, be aware of these common pitfalls:

  1. Prefer Unit Tests: Write unit-testable code by default. Use integration tests only when necessary → testing.md
  2. Node.js API Restrictions: Cannot use Node.js APIs in runtime/ code → constraints.md
  3. Test Isolation: Must set unique outDir for each integration test → testing.md
  4. Runtime Boundaries: Core vs Vite vs Browser execution contexts → architecture.md
  5. Prerelease Mode: Changesets target origin/next branch (check .changeset/config.json)

What ships with it

6 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.
