STARTER

WELCOME TO HOTROD

Hotrod is the open-source Astro starter from Roboto Studio for agent-edited marketing sites — Zod-typed blocks, Mux + Vercel Blob built in, no heavy CMS.

Hotrod is an open-source Astro starter built for sites that are designed, written, and maintained by coding agents.

This first post exists so the dev server boots into something real. Every piece of content on this site — including marketing pages, author profiles, and posts — lives as an MDX file under src/content/. The frontmatter is validated by strict Zod schemas, so an agent (or a human editor) gets a loud, clear error the moment something is wrong.
