## What it does

This skill guides the agent through official Astro documentation whenever questions involve exact APIs, breaking changes, or deployment setup. Instead of picking unverified community snippets, it checks official docs or Astro MCP tooling. Console error messages get routed straight into official guide searches.

Queries focus on tight terms such as adapter names, schema configs, and upgrade steps. When behavior cannot be confirmed against current reference materials, the prompt forces the assistant to state that openly rather than invent an answer.

Output includes a direct answer, a working snippet, known caveats, and a link to the Astro page. If an initial search yields nothing, the workflow pivots to exact config keys or migration sections before giving up.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add incluud/astro-agent-skills --skill docs-lookup -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/docs-lookup/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/docs-lookup/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add incluud/astro-agent-skills --skill docs-lookup -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/docs-lookup/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add incluud/astro-agent-skills --skill docs-lookup -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/docs-lookup/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install incluud/astro-agent-skills docs-lookup
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/docs-lookup/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add incluud/astro-agent-skills --skill docs-lookup -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/incluud/astro-agent-skills --path skills/docs-lookup
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/docs-lookup/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add incluud/astro-agent-skills --skill docs-lookup -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/incluud/astro-agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/docs-lookup/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- configure content collection schemas against the latest Astro rules
- set up deployment adapters such as Netlify without outdated flags
- troubleshoot Astro terminal errors using official guides
- navigate breaking changes when upgrading Astro versions

## Example prompts
- How do I define a content collection schema in modern Astro?
- Configure the Netlify adapter for server output in Astro.
- Check Astro documentation for this build error: Invalid collection entry.

# Astro Docs Lookup

Use this skill when answering Astro questions that depend on current documentation, exact API names, integration setup, upgrade paths, or version-sensitive behavior.

## Workflow

### 1. Define the exact question

Reduce the request to a specific topic before searching:

- integrations
- content collections
- routing
- assets and images
- rendering modes
- deployment adapters
- migrations or upgrade guides

If the user includes an error message, search that message directly as part of the lookup.

### 2. Prefer official Astro sources

Start with the official Astro documentation and related official references. If the agent has Astro docs tooling or an MCP available, use it. If not, search the official docs site directly.

Avoid relying on blog posts or community snippets when the question is about syntax, configuration, or breaking changes.

### 3. Search with version awareness

Use specific search terms, not broad ones:

- `content collections schema`
- `view transitions`
- `netlify adapter output server`
- `upgrade guide`

When version drift is possible, verify the current version behavior instead of assuming older examples still apply.

### 4. Answer with usable output

When replying:

- start with a direct answer
- include a minimal working snippet when useful
- call out caveats, version constraints, or migration notes
- link the relevant Astro doc page when the topic is deep or likely to change

### 5. If the first search fails

Try one of these before giving up:

- narrower search terms
- the feature’s official package or adapter name
- the exact config key
- the upgrade or migration guide instead of the feature page

## Response Shape

A good answer usually includes:

1. the short answer
2. the relevant example
3. the important caveat
4. the official reference

If you cannot verify the behavior from current official docs, say so explicitly instead of guessing.
