In their own words

Astro Starlight

Astro Starlight is a free documentation theme built on the Astro framework. It provides site navigation, full-text search, internationalization, SEO, code highlighting, and dark mode. Authors can write in Markdown and extend the setup for MDX and Markdoc. Components from React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, and other frameworks can be added. Starlight works with Astro integrations and plugins, including community options and an official Algolia DocSearch plugin that can replace Pagefind, the default search provider. Community tools cover uses such as OpenAPI documentation, blogs, comments, and broken-link checking. To start a new site, create an Astro project with a Starlight template; an existing Astro project can add Starlight as an integration. Projects can be created with npm, pnpm, or Yarn and previewed with Astro's development server. The project is MIT licensed and supports documentation versioning. Its Getting Started guide describes Starlight as beta software and recommends regular updates. The documentation directs users to the Astro Discord support forum and Starlight channel for help.

NestJS CLI

NestJS CLI is a command-line tool for creating, developing, and maintaining Nest applications. Its `nest new` command scaffolds a project with boilerplate files and lets you choose ESM or CommonJS. The `nest generate` command creates or changes files according to a schematic, while other commands compile an application or workspace, or compile and run an application. The CLI supports standard and monorepo modes, including built-in library support for monorepos, and its commands are designed to encourage well-structured applications. You can install a Nest-packaged library with `add`, which runs its install schematic, or use `deploy` to deploy an application to the cloud powered by Mau. The CLI is free and open source under the MIT license. It supports TypeScript and JavaScript. Global npm installation and running through npx are both documented options. The CLI binary requires Node.js v20.11 or later; the `new`, `generate`, and `upgrade` schematics require Node.js v22.22.3+, v24.15+, or v26+. The Node.js binary must include ICU internationalization support.
