Astro-CV-Esquelete

Astro-CV-Esquelete is a free CV template built on Astro that produces a clean digital résumé from Markdown files, letting you update content without touching HTML.

What is Astro-CV-Esquelete?

Astro-CV-Esquelete is an open-source CV/resume template that takes plain Markdown files as input and generates a static, single-page website as output. It is built with the Astro framework, styled with Tailwind CSS and daisyUI, and was created by GitHub user mmouzo, with content organized into directories under /src/pages. The template ships with a ready-to-customize structure including an accordion layout for sections, contact cards, and sample content for projects, work experience, certifications, and blog posts, and it can be built to a static dist/ folder for deployment.

Key Features

• Markdown-driven content — All résumé sections are stored as .md files in /src/pages (about, blogs, certificates, contact, projects, studies, works), so you edit plain text instead of components.
• Astro + Tailwind CSS + daisyUI stack — The template runs on the Astro static-site generator and uses Tailwind CSS with daisyUI components for a clean, responsive layout.
• Accordion section layout — Each major section (work, projects, studies, etc.) is rendered via an AccordionLayout.astro component that expands/collapses content.
• Contact cards — Pre-built cards for email, GitHub, LinkedIn, and Telegram are included as separate Markdown files under src/pages/contact.
• Production build — Running npm run build generates a fully static site in ./dist/ that can be hosted on any static host, including Vercel (official demo).
• Local development server — npm run dev starts a dev server at localhost:4321 for fast previewing of edits.

Who is it for?

• Developers who want a code-first CV and prefer editing Markdown over dragging widgets in a visual editor.
• Job seekers who need a clean resume website to link from job applications and social profiles, with sections for experience, education, projects, and certificates.
• Astro users looking for a minimal starter template that demonstrates how to combine Astro with Tailwind CSS and daisyUI for a real-world site.

What can you do with Astro-CV-Esquelete?

• Showcase professional history: Add work experience and education entries in separate Markdown files, and the accordion layout will display them in an organized way.
• Publish a blog and certificates: Write posts and certifications as Markdown under src/pages/blogs and src/pages/certificates and they become part of your site without extra configuration.
• List contact channels: Create custom contact cards for email, GitHub, LinkedIn, or Telegram by adding corresponding Markdown files in the contact directory.

How does Astro-CV-Esquelete work?

Start by running npm install to install dependencies and npm run dev to preview at localhost:4321. Then open the Markdown files under src/pages and replace the sample content with your own; to add or remove a section like Projects or Certificates, edit the Container.astro component and its corresponding AccordionLayout children. When you're done, npm run build creates the production site in ./dist/.

What tech stack does Astro-CV-Esquelete use?

Astro-CV-Esquelete is built with the Astro static-site generator, uses Tailwind CSS for styling, and integrates daisyUI for UI components like cards and accordions. It does not require a backend or database because all content is stored in Markdown files that are rendered at build time.

How do I edit my CV content?

All content lives in Markdown files under src/pages. Edit any of the .md files (for example, works/work1.md or projects/spotfilm.md) and the site updates. To add a new section, go to src/components/Container.astro and add a new AccordionLayout component; to remove one, comment out or delete that component.

Yes. Running npm run build outputs a static site in the dist/ folder that can be hosted anywhere static files are served, such as Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages. The official demo is hosted on Vercel at astro-cv-esquelete.vercel.app.
