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.
