Astro Styling

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

  1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing styles, integrations, and patterns
  2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest Astro/Tailwind/UnoCSS docs via Context7/Exa
  3. mcp__context7__query-docs - Check integration compatibility with Astro 6

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


Overview

When to Use

  • Styling .astro components with component-scoped CSS
  • Setting up Tailwind CSS or UnoCSS in an Astro project
  • Using CSS Modules for framework-agnostic scoping
  • Applying global base styles (reset, fonts, variables)
  • Using class:list for conditional class application
  • Adding Sass/SCSS via Vite preprocessors

Styling Options

| Method | Scope | When to Use | |--------|-------|-------------| | <style> in .astro | Component | Default — scoped to component | | <style is:global> | Global | Base styles, resets | | CSS Modules .module.css | Component | Framework components (React, Vue) | | Tailwind CSS | Utility | Rapid UI development | | UnoCSS | Utility | Lightweight, configurable atomic CSS | | Sass/SCSS | Component/Global | Advanced features, variables, mixins |


Reference Guide

Concepts

| Topic | Reference | When to Consult | |-------|-----------|-----------------| | Scoped CSS | scoped-css.md | Component styling | | CSS Modules | css-modules.md | Framework components | | Global styles | global-styles.md | Resets, base styles | | Tailwind | tailwind.md | Utility-first CSS | | UnoCSS | unocss.md | Atomic CSS engine | | Sass/SCSS | sass.md | Preprocessor features | | CSS Variables | css-variables.md | Design tokens, themes |

Templates

| Template | When to Use | |----------|-------------| | scoped-component.md | Component with scoped + conditional classes | | tailwind-setup.md | Full Tailwind CSS project setup | | unocss-setup.md | Full UnoCSS project setup |


Best Practices

  1. Prefer scoped styles — Use <style> in .astro files by default
  2. Global styles in layouts — Apply resets and base styles in root layout
  3. CSS variables for themes — Define design tokens as custom properties
  4. Avoid is:global in components — Reserve for layouts and global files
  5. class:list over ternaries — More readable conditional class logic

Forbidden

  • Writing inline styles for layout/theme — use CSS classes instead
  • Using is:global inside non-layout components
  • Importing CSS in multiple components without CSS Modules
  • Mixing Tailwind and custom class naming without a clear convention
