Starlight's File Tree component is great for displaying a directory structure at a glance, but sometimes files need more than a comment. Just released Starlight File Explorer, an interactive component to document files and folders with MDX content for each one. starlight-file-explorer.netlify.app

Added a new compact variant to the starlight-package-managers component. The same package manager tabs with a tighter layout ✨ github.com/HiDeoo/starl...

Two code examples comparing the default and new compact layouts of the starlight-package-managers component. Both show npm, pnpm, and yarn tabs, with pnpm selected and the command `pnpm add astro`. Adding `variant="compact"` merges the package manager tabs into the code frame.

Users can easily install approved skills with `npx skills add` and your documentation URL. Additionally, approved skills can be automatically listed on a catalog page and recommended from relevant documentation pages using a dedicated component.

Screenshot of the `<SkillCallout>` component from the Starlight to Skills plugin used to recommend a relevant skill from a Starlight documentation page. It is titled "Let your agent handle this" and includes instructions to install the skill followed by an `npx skills add` command.

This release also adds a GitHub Actions reporter. When the plugin runs in GitHub Actions, validation errors are written to the job summary.

GitHub Actions job summary from the Starlight Links Validator plugin with 4 invalid links in 2 files, listed in a table with file, link, position, and error type.

Used a large refactor to make validation reports in the Starlight Links Validator plugin more user-friendly and actionable: - source locations for issues - invalid links point to the source - error messages link to docs with explanations and suggested fixes

CLI output of the Starlight Links Validator plugin showing invalid links grouped by source file, with line numbers, error labels, and a summary reporting 4 invalid links across 2 files.

🎨 As we're getting closer to the release of Astro v6, let's take a trip down memory lane with a new Starlight theme which is heavily inspired by the timeless design of the legacy Astro documentation. github.com/HiDeoo/starl...

I recently published an early preview of a new Visual Studio Code extension providing IntelliSense for Starlight Markdown and MDX content links: internal links completions, fragments completions, go to definition/follow link, and hover preview. github.com/HiDeoo/starl...

Looks like it, even tho it's still available in the settings… Just got the case from a draft PR where you no longer get notifications for pushes and neither when it was marked as ready for review.

Tried Graze but I was doing something wrong as I was getting network errors for a basic search. For the Starlight feed, I use SkyFeed with 1 regex to include content and 1 inverted list to exclude some words. A bit sad that you only get 7 days of history as Starlight mentions can be a bit sparse.

Screenshot of a SkyFeed block configuration using a regex to include content related to Starlight, the documentation theme built on top of the Astro framework.

📽️ Still at a very early stage, but just released a new Starlight plugin to make it easy to quickly add videos to a documentation website. It supports collections of videos, e.g. courses, transcripts, quizzes, task lists, and more features are planned. github.com/HiDeoo/starl...

Preview a video page belonging to a course generated by the starlight-videos plugin. The page includes a video player, a playlist, some extra course content, a list of prerequisites, a quiz, and a transcript.
