title: Project structure | Stainless
---

The Stainless Docs Platform uses [Starlight’s project structure](https://starlight.astro.build/guides/project-structure/) and [Astro’s routing capabilities](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/routing).

Starlight expects your content to be in `src/content/docs`, but Astro without Starlight looks for content in `src/content` and pages in `src/content/pages`. If you’re looking at Astro’s documentation, it’s important to keep this difference in mind.

When you create a new Stainless Docs Platform site, your repo will contain the following files and folders, which form the structure of your site and define its configuration:

```
📁 <root>
├─ 📁 public/
├─ 📁 src/
│  ├─ 📁 assets/
│  └─ 📁 content/
│     └─ 📁 docs/
├─ 📄 astro.config.ts
└─ 📄 package.json
```

Briefly:

- `public/` - Static assets like your site’s favicon. These are not processed by Astro or the Stainless Docs Platform and are served at the root of your site.
- `src/assets/` - Images, fonts, and other assets used in your site. Put images, video, audio, and other assets used in your prose content here.
- `src/content/docs/` - Your prose pages in Markdown, Markdoc, or MDX format.
- `astro.config.ts` - The primary configuration file for your project. This file contains your site’s configuration for Astro and the Stainless Docs Platform.
- `package.json` - Your project’s manifest file. This file contains your project’s dependencies and scripts.

In addition, there are additional support files and folders, like the `README.md` file, the `node_modules` folder, and others.

For more information about your site’s structure, have a look at [Astro’s project structure documentation](https://docs.astro.build/en/basics/project-structure/).
