About Starlight

A documentation site builder built on top of the Astro framework.

Starlight is a documentation website framework that runs on Astro, designed for developers and teams who want to publish technical docs. It handles the structure, navigation, theming, and performance concerns that come with documentation sites, so you can focus on writing content. It targets teams who want a fast, well-structured docs site without building the scaffolding from scratch.

Where to start

Create a new Starlight project using the Astro CLI with the Starlight template, then add your Markdown or MDX content files to the docs directory.
