Overview

Astro is a web framework designed for content-rich websites that ships zero JavaScript to the client by default. AI agents can scaffold Astro projects, create `.astro` components with the template syntax, configure integrations, and set up content collections with type-safe schemas.

Astro's island architecture lets you hydrate interactive components only where needed, using any UI framework (React, Vue, Svelte, Solid). Your AI agent can implement partial hydration with `client:load`, `client:idle`, or `client:visible` directives, optimizing performance automatically.

With built-in Markdown/MDX support, content collections, and image optimization, Astro is ideal for blogs, documentation sites, and marketing pages. AI agents can generate content collection schemas, implement i18n routing, configure SSR with Node or edge adapters, and optimize your site for perfect Lighthouse scores.
