Grove

Grove is a focused system for building curated open-source directories. It has one Astro application, one data model, and one small CLI.

pnpm dlx @grove-dev/cli init my-directory
cd my-directory
pnpm dev

The generated project is already a complete website. Its Astro pages are copied into the project and belong to the user; Grove supplies reusable domain logic, data adapters, components, generated data, sitemap, and llms.txt.

Repository

packages/
  core/       config, schemas, validation, directory logic, generation
  astro/      Astro UI, layouts, generated-data adapters, integration
  cli/        init, check, sync github, sync contributors, cleanup,
              audit, collection promote, readme generate
  starlight/  documentation integration

  example/    real AI directory demo and the only init scaffold source
  docs/       Starlight documentation site

There is no template registry and no framework selection. Internal development runs the real site through pnpm workspace links:

pnpm install
pnpm dev
pnpm check
pnpm test
pnpm build
pnpm test:scaffold

Directory structure

.github/workflows/     five CI workflows (ci, cleanup, deploy,
                       sync-contributors, sync-github)
data/records/          one YAML file per record
data/taxonomy/         categories, stacks, platforms, distribution
data/collections/      curated collections
data/decisions.yml     curator visibility overrides
data/overrides.yml     manual record patches
public/                icons and brand assets
src/pages/             all site-owned routes and page composition
src/styles/global.css  optional theme overrides
astro.config.mjs
grove.config.ts
package.json

astro dev, astro check, and astro build prepare the generated artifacts automatically through the Grove Astro integration. CI calls grove check, grove sync github, grove sync contributors, and grove cleanup directly.
