Stardrive gets you from zero to a fast, modern, AI-ready website in a single command. Pick the path that fits you and you are ready to start building.

Create with the starter
The interactive starter scaffolds the project, lets you make a few first choices, and removes all demo-only files for you. Use whichever package manager you like:
npm create stardrive@latestpnpm create stardrive@latestyarn create stardrive@latestbun create stardrive@latestHandy flags
Add --no-install to skip installing dependencies, or --version X.X.X to pin a specific release.
bun works too
The bun command runs fine as long as Node.js is also installed on your machine.
Kick off with an AI agent
Stardrive is built for the AI age and documents itself for coding agents. Once the project exists, hand the configuration to your assistant with a prompt like this:
Start the configuration of this new Astro Stardrive project.Mind the AGENTS.md and especially the SETUP.md in the .ai folder.
More specifications about the project I want to build:[put your specs here]Add the Astro MCP
Connecting the Astro MCP server gives your agent much more context. It costs more tokens, but produces noticeably better results.
Alternative: fork or clone
Prefer full control from the start? Fork or clone the official repository directly. You then handle the initial cleanup yourself - the configuration guide walks you through it.
git clone https://github.com/peltmonger/stardrive.git my-projectManual cleanup needed
Direct clones still contain demo- and repo-only files. Start with the configuration guide, which runs the trimming step before anything else.
