Start building with Lotus

Choose the path that matches your project, then configure the docs shell and start writing.

Choose Your Path

Start from the Lotus starter template when you want a working Astro docs site with the theme already wired up.

Install Lotus manually, register the integration, and connect your docs content collection.

Set project identity, docs routing, navigation, sidebars, footer links, search, source links, and page actions.

Learn frontmatter, Markdown, images, code blocks, and MDX authoring patterns for Lotus pages.

Tune appearance, CSS tokens, layouts, and shell component overrides when configuration is not enough.

Move existing Starlight content, sidebars, i18n directories, and MDX component usage into Lotus.
