Inside the blog-astro-minimal template

templates/blog/astro/minimal/ is a minimal Astro blog template built with Lism CSS and @lism-css/ui. It includes only a post list, post detail, per-tag list, About, sitemap, and robots.txt. If you need monthly archives, categories, a table of contents, or search, start from a different template instead.

Dependencies

On top of Astro and Lism CSS / @lism-css/ui, it adds @astrojs/sitemap. astro.config.mjs only sets up the sitemap integration and the @ → /src alias. Posts are .md files.

Posts are organized by tags only

Posts are organized with the tags field in the frontmatter. There is no hierarchy such as categories. Per-tag archives are generated at /tags/{tag}/, and the footer holds a TagCloud that lists every tag.

Routing

Path	Contents
[...page].astro	Top (all posts) + pagination
posts/[slug].astro	Post detail
tags/[tag]/[...page].astro	Per-tag list + pagination
about.astro	About
robots.txt.ts	robots.txt
404.astro	404

The post filename (without extension) is used directly as the URL slug. The number of posts per page is siteConfig.pagination.postsPerPage (6 by default).

Sitemap

@astrojs/sitemap generates the sitemap at build time. The site value in astro.config.mjs is the base for the sitemap and robots.txt, so change it to your deployment domain before publishing.

Layout

• Layout.astro — stacks Header / Main / Footer vertically with <Stack min-h="100svh"> inside a <Container>.
• ArchiveLayout.astro — a list layout built on Layout that wraps the body in <Group isWrapper isContainer hasGutter><Stack g="50">.
• The post detail (posts/[slug].astro) is a simple layout that places the post header (Date, Heading, tags), the body (Flow.c--articleBody), and the previous/next post navigation (ArticleNav) inside <Group as="article" isWrapper isContainer hasGutter>. It has no share buttons or table of contents.

Where to customize

• src/config/site.ts — site name, tagline, navigation, social links, copyright, and so on
• src/styles/global.css — overrides for Lism CSS tokens. By default only --base and --lts--xl are enabled; the rest are left as commented-out candidates.
• Typography for the post body (blockquote, pre, table, etc.) is written as descendant selectors under .c--articleBody in @layer lism-custom, because you can’t attach classes directly to elements generated from Markdown.
