Create Site Pages

Create Site Pages (apps/www)

Use this skill when adding a new route to the main showcase site (apps/www), not when adding a Library resource. For copy-paste page templates in the Library, use page-resources.

When to use

• New top-level page on stealthis.dev (e.g. /pricing, /about, /tools)
• New localized variant of an existing site page
• Page needs nav entry, sitemap inclusion, or OG image

Architecture

apps/www/src/
  pages/                    # English (default locale, no prefix)
    my-page.astro
    es/
      my-page.astro          # Thin re-export → ../my-page.astro
    fr/
      my-page.astro
  layouts/Base.astro         # Shared shell (nav, footer, SEO)
  i18n/index.ts              # All translation strings
  components/Nav.astro       # Main navigation

Routing rules:

• English (en) lives at the root: /my-page
• Other locales use a prefix: /es/my-page, /fr/my-page, …
• Locale list: LOCALES in apps/www/src/i18n/index.ts and astro.config.mjs → i18n.locales

Workflow

1. Create the English page

Add apps/www/src/pages/<slug>.astro:

---
import Base from "@layouts/Base.astro";
import { getAlternateLinks, getLocaleFromUrl, useTranslations } from "@i18n/index";

const locale = getLocaleFromUrl(Astro.url);
const t = useTranslations(locale);
const alternateLinks = getAlternateLinks("/my-page");
---

<Base
  title={t("myPage.title")}
  description={t("myPage.description")}
  canonicalPath="/my-page"
  alternateLinks={alternateLinks}
>
  <main class="mx-auto max-w-3xl px-6 py-16">
    <h1>{t("myPage.title")}</h1>
    <p>{t("myPage.intro")}</p>
  </main>
</Base>

Base props worth setting:

2. Add locale re-exports

For every non-English locale in LOCALES, create a thin wrapper:

apps/www/src/pages/es/my-page.astro:

---
import MyPage from "../my-page.astro";
---

<MyPage />

Repeat for fr/, ja/, de/, etc. Match the folder names already used under apps/www/src/pages/.

3. Add i18n strings

In apps/www/src/i18n/index.ts, add keys for each locale block (at minimum en and es):

"myPage.title": "My Page",
"myPage.description": "Short meta description for SEO.",
"myPage.intro": "Body copy for the page.",

Pattern: use a dotted prefix (myPage.*) grouped with related keys. Search for an existing page (e.g. changelog.) to copy the locale-block structure.

4. Register in sitemap (if public)

Edit apps/www/src/pages/sitemap.xml.ts — add the path to LOCALIZED_BASE_PATHS:

const LOCALIZED_BASE_PATHS = ["/", "/library/", "/showcase/", "/changelog", "/my-page"];

Paths here are without locale prefix; the sitemap generator expands them across all LOCALES.

5. Add nav link (optional)

If the page should appear in the header, edit apps/www/src/components/Nav.astro:

1. Add a nav.myPage key in i18n.
2. Append to navLinks (or the applications dropdown if it is a tool link).

Follow existing entries (library, showcase, changelog) for prefix, external, and badge patterns.

6. OG image (optional)

Dynamic OG images live under apps/www/src/pages/og/. Static images go in apps/www/public/og/. Reference via image="/og/my-page.webp" on <Base>.

Patterns from existing pages

Changelog-style bilingual content: keep en and es arrays in the page frontmatter when translations are page-specific (see changelog.astro). For reusable UI chrome, prefer i18n keys.

Checklist before handoff

• English page at apps/www/src/pages/<slug>.astro
• Locale wrappers for all locales under apps/www/src/pages/<locale>/
• i18n keys added for every supported locale block
• getAlternateLinks("/<slug>") passed to <Base>
• Path added to LOCALIZED_BASE_PATHS in sitemap.xml.ts (if indexable)
• Nav link added if user-facing (optional)
• bun run lint
• bun run build:www
• Smoke test: curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:4321/<slug>

Related files

• Layout: apps/www/src/layouts/Base.astro
• i18n helpers: apps/www/src/i18n/index.ts (getLocaleFromUrl, useTranslations, getAlternateLinks, getLocalizedPath)
• Astro i18n config: apps/www/astro.config.mjs
• Sitemap: apps/www/src/pages/sitemap.xml.ts
• Navigation: apps/www/src/components/Nav.astro

Do not

• Edit files under dist/ (generated output)
• Hardcode English strings when the page is user-facing — use t() keys
• Forget locale wrappers (broken /es/... routes)
• Add a locale to astro.config.mjs without updating LOCALES in i18n (they must stay aligned)
