Skill Content

VitePress is a Static Site Generator (SSG) built on Vite and Vue 3. It takes Markdown content, applies a theme, and generates static HTML that becomes an SPA for fast navigation. Perfect for documentation, blogs, and marketing sites.

Key Characteristics:

  • File-based routing with .md files
  • Vue components work directly in Markdown
  • Fast HMR with instant updates (<100ms)
  • Default theme optimized for documentation
  • Built-in search (local or Algolia)

Before working with VitePress projects:

  • Check .vitepress/config.ts for site configuration
  • Look at .vitepress/theme/ for custom theme extensions
  • The public/ directory contains static assets served as-is

The skill is based on VitePress 1.x, generated at 2026-01-28.
