CLI commands, project structure conventions, and deployment adapters for Astro web projects.
- ›Core CLI includes dev server, build, type checking, integration management, and TypeScript sync commands
- ›Standard project structure uses src/pages for routes, src/components for reusable components, and public/ for static assets
- ›Deploy via adapters for Node.js, Cloudflare, Netlify, Vercel, or community-maintained platforms using npx astro add
- ›Configuration file ( astro.config.js or variant
Astro Usage Guide
Always consult docs.astro.build for code examples and latest API.
Astro is the web framework for content-driven websites.
Quick Reference
File Location
CLI looks for astro.config.js, astro.config.mjs, astro.config.cjs, and astro.config.ts in: ./. Use --config for custom path.
CLI Commands
npx astro dev- Start the development server.npx astro build- Build your project and write it to disk.npx astro check- Check your project for errors.npx astro add- Add an integration.npx astro sync- Generate TypeScript types for all Astro modules.
Re-run after adding/changing plugins.
Project Structure
Reference project structure docs.
src/*- Project source code (components, pages, styles, images, etc.)src/pages- Required. Defines all pages and routes.src/components- Components (convention, not required).src/layouts- Layout components (convention, not required).src/styles- CSS/Sass files (convention, not required).public/*- Non-code, unprocessed assets (fonts, icons, etc.); copied as-is to build output.package.json- Project manifest.astro.config.{js,mjs,cjs,ts}- Astro configuration file. (recommended)tsconfig.json- TypeScript configuration file. (recommended)
Core Config Options
| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
site |
Your final, deployed URL. Used to generate sitemaps and canonical URLs. |
Example astro.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
export default defineConfig({
site: 'https://example.com',
});
Common Workflows
Creating a Basic Page
Add a file to src/pages/ — the filename becomes the route:
---
// src/pages/index.astro
const title = 'Hello, Astro!';
---
<html>
<head><title>{title}</title></head>
<body>
<h1>{title}</h1>
</body>
</html>
Creating a Component
---
// src/components/Card.astro
const { title, body } = Astro.props;
---
<div class="card">
<h2>{title}</h2>
<p>{body}</p>
</div>
Deploying with an Adapter
- Add the adapter:
npx astro add vercel --yes(ornode,cloudflare,netlify) - Run
npx astro checkto catch type and configuration errors before building. - Run
npx astro buildto produce the deployment artifact. - Verify the build output directory (e.g.
dist/) exists and is non-empty before proceeding. - Deploy the output per the adapter's documentation.
Adapters
Deploy to your favorite server, serverless, or edge host with build adapters. Use an adapter to enable on-demand rendering in your Astro project.
Add Node.js adapter using astro add:
npx astro add node --yes
Add Cloudflare adapter using astro add:
npx astro add cloudflare --yes
Add Netlify adapter using astro add:
npx astro add netlify --yes
Add Vercel adapter using astro add:
npx astro add vercel --yes

How to use astro on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
- ›Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
- ›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with
node --version) - ›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add astro
Execute installation command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
The skills CLI fetches astro from GitHub repository astrolicious/agent-skills and configures it for Cursor.
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Reload or restart Cursor to activate astro. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /astro) or your agent's skill management interface.
Security & Verification Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

Use Cases▌
User Story & Requirements Generation
Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs
Example
Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios
Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage
Competitive Analysis
Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps
Example
Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities
Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days
Roadmap Prioritization
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example
Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Stakeholder Communication
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example
Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead
Implementation Guide▌
Prerequisites
- ›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client
- ›Access to product documentation and roadmap tools (Jira, Notion, etc.)
- ›Understanding of product management frameworks (RICE, Jobs-to-be-Done, etc.)
- ›Stakeholder contact information and communication channels
Time Estimate
30-60 minutes to see productivity improvements
Installation Steps
- 1.Install product management skill
- 2.Start with user story generation for known feature
- 3.Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors
- 4.Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring
- 5.Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
- 6.Build template library for recurring PM tasks
- 7.Share effective prompts with product team
Common Pitfalls
- ⚠Not validating competitive research—verify facts before sharing
- ⚠Accepting user stories without involving engineering team
- ⚠Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment
- ⚠Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style
- ⚠Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements
Best Practices▌
✓ Do
- +Validate research and competitive analysis with real data
- +Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
- +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
- +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
- +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
- +Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition
✗ Don't
- −Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
- −Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
- −Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
- −Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
- −Don't ignore company-specific context and culture
💡 Pro Tips
- ★Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
- ★Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
- ★Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
- ★Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs
When to Use This▌
✓ Use When
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid When
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
Learning Path▌
