Install the plugin and it will plan a valid stack and generate it through the bundled MCP server instead of hand-rolling boilerplate. ```bash /plugin marketplace add AmanVarshney01/create-better-t-stack /plugin install better-t-stack@better-t-stack ``` Then ask: _"create a fullstack app with Next, Hono, Postgres and Better Auth"_, or run `/better-t-stack:new `. See [`plugin/`](plugin) and the [Agent Workflows docs](https://better-t-stack.dev/docs/cli/agent-workflows#claude-code-plugin). ## Features - Frontend: React (TanStack Router, React Router, TanStack Start), Next.js, Nuxt, Svelte, Solid, Astro, React Native (Bare, NativeWind, Unistyles), or none - Backend: Hono, Express, Fastify, Elysia, Self (fullstack web app), Convex, or none - API: tRPC or oRPC (or none) - Runtime: Bun, Node.js, or Cloudflare Workers - Databases: SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB (or none) - ORMs: Drizzle, Prisma, Mongoose (or none) - Auth: Better Auth or Clerk (optional) - Addons: Turborepo, Nx, PWA, Tauri, Electrobun, Biome, Lefthook, Husky, Starlight, Fumadocs, Ultracite, Oxlint, MCP, OpenTUI, WXT, Skills - Examples: Todo, AI - DB Setup: Turso, Neon, Supabase, Prisma PostgreSQL, MongoDB Atlas, Cloudflare D1, Docker - Web Deploy: Cloudflare Workers Type safety end-to-end, clean monorepo layout, and zero lock-in: you choose only what you need. ## Repository Structure This repository is organized as a monorepo containing: - **CLI**: [`apps/cli`](apps/cli) - The scaffolding CLI tool - **Documentation**: [`apps/web`](apps/web) - Official website and documentation - **Plugin**: [`plugin`](plugin) - Claude Code plugin (MCP server + skills + commands + agent) ## Documentation Visit [better-t-stack.dev](https://better-t-stack.dev) for full documentation, guides, and examples.
