Astro 6 Expert

Production-ready web framework for content-driven sites with unified dev runtime and Islands Architecture.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

  1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing routes, layouts, and config
  2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest Astro 6 docs via Context7/Exa
  3. mcp__context7__query-docs - Check breaking changes v5→v6

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.


Overview

When to Use

  • Building new content-driven websites or blogs
  • Migrating from Astro 5 to version 6
  • Configuring static, server, or hybrid output modes
  • Setting up middleware for auth or redirects
  • Leveraging the new Rust compiler for large sites
  • Implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers

Why Astro 6

| Feature | Benefit | |---------|---------| | Unified Dev Runtime | Dev matches production — fewer "works in dev, breaks in prod" bugs | | Vite Environment API | Exact production runtime during development | | Rust Compiler | Faster .astro file compilation, replaces Go compiler | | Live Content Collections | Real-time data from external sources | | Built-in Fonts API | Zero-config font loading with performance optimization | | CSP Support | Built-in Content Security Policy nonce management | | Cloudflare Workers | First-class support with workerd runtime in dev |


Core Concepts

Output Modes

| Mode | Description | Use Case | |------|-------------|----------| | static (default) | All pages prerendered at build | Blogs, docs, marketing | | server | All pages rendered on demand | Apps, dashboards, auth | | hybrid | Mix static + on-demand | Most production sites |

Routing

  • File-based routingsrc/pages/ maps directly to URLs
  • Dynamic routes[slug].astro, [...all].astro
  • Per-route prerenderexport const prerender = false/true
  • Endpoints.ts/.js files in src/pages/ for API routes

Reference Guide

| Need | Reference | |------|-----------| | Initial setup | installation.md | | Routing patterns | routing.md | | Output configuration | output-modes.md | | Middleware setup | middleware.md | | astro.config.ts | config.md | | New Astro 6 features | new-features.md | | Full project setup | templates/basic-setup.md | | Config examples | templates/config-example.md |


Best Practices

  1. Use output: 'static' by default — Add server only when needed
  2. Per-route prerender — Fine-grained control in hybrid mode
  3. Middleware for cross-cutting concerns — Auth, redirects, headers
  4. Opt into Rust compiler — Faster builds on large sites
  5. CSP nonces — Use built-in support instead of custom headers
