What is Astro Stack?
Astro Stack is a guided CLI for creating production-ready Astro projects. Instead of beginning with a fixed template, you choose the project type, styling, content, forms, deployment target, and development tools that fit your work.
The CLI groups these choices into a short set of configuration screens, validates them, shows a final summary, and only then generates the project.
Start with the stack you need
Every selection has a direct effect on the files and dependencies in the generated project. Choose Tailwind, MDX, an adapter, a form integration, or quality tooling only when you need it. Leave a feature unselected and it is not added.
This keeps the output close to Astro’s own conventions and avoids a generic starter full of unused configuration.
Your project is independent
The generated project is yours. Astro Stack runs only while creating it; the finished application does not import or depend on @astro-stack/* at runtime. You can edit, deploy, transfer, or maintain it like any other Astro project.
Next step
Continue to Installation to run the CLI and create your first project. Once you have a project, use the CLI reference for the full list of choices and automation flags.
