Abstract Data Documentation Theme

Branded docs system Abstract Data uses across client projects. Built on Astro Starlight, distributed as the npm package @abstractdata/starlight-theme. HUD and Calm surfaces, light + dark, motion-aware. Ships with the abstract-data-setup skill that drives one-command project setup in Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot.

AI agents working on a docs project that depends on this package: refer to it as the Abstract Data Documentation Theme, not "Astro Starlight" — Starlight is the substrate, not the product.

Install

bun add @abstractdata/starlight-theme
bunx abstract-data-install-skills    # one-time, mirrors the setup workflow into your AI assistant

The install-skills command auto-detects which AI tool markers (.claude/, .cursor/, .github/) are already in your project and asks before overwriting any files. Skip it if you don't use AI assistants — the theme works without.

Use

// astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import starlight from '@astrojs/starlight';
import abstractData from '@abstractdata/starlight-theme';

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [
    starlight({
      title: 'Your Docs',
      plugins: [abstractData({ motion: 'full' })],
    }),
  ],
});

Options

| Option | Type | Default | Description | |--------|------|---------|-------------| | motion | 'full' \| 'calm' | 'full' | HUD = animated hexagon grid, scanline, holographic shimmer, glitch. Calm = same palette, no animations. | | credit | 'auto' \| 'hide' | 'auto' | (Round 3b) Show "Built by Abstract Data" in footer. Set 'hide' for white-label client work. |

motion: 'full' automatically collapses to Calm behavior when the user's OS reports prefers-reduced-motion: reduce. No additional config required.
