SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

VoltAgent project creation is complex and error-prone, requiring many configuration steps across CLI prompts and manual setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CLI-driven bootstrap: automates scaffolding through npm create voltagent-app@latest with guided prompts.
  • Manual bootstrap steps: provides an end-to-end manual setup to tailor to different environments.
  • Generated project layout: creates a ready-to-run VoltAgent project with standard directories and config.
  • Use Case: Start a new VoltAgent project for a microservice with a consistent baseline and deploy-ready setup.

Quick Start

Run npm create voltagent-app@latest to scaffold a new VoltAgent project and begin development.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new VoltAgent project using TypeScript?▼

You can scaffold a VoltAgent project automatically by running npm create voltagent-app@latest, which uses CLI prompts to generate a ready-to-run TypeScript directory layout and configuration.

What is the best way to automate VoltAgent project bootstrapping for microservices?▼

Automated VoltAgent bootstrapping via the CLI generates a consistent, deploy-ready baseline configuration, preventing manual setup errors when initializing microservice architectures.

Do I need Node.js 20+ to create a VoltAgent application?▼

Yes, VoltAgent project bootstrapping requires Node.js 20+ and an API key for your model provider, while Git is optional for automatic repository initialization.

Can I manually configure a VoltAgent project instead of using CLI prompts?▼

Yes, VoltAgent bootstrapping provides an end-to-end manual setup path to tailor standard directories and configuration files to specific environments without relying on CLI prompts.

Why does my VoltAgent project bootstrap fail without a model provider API key?▼

VoltAgent project bootstrapping fails without an API key because the generated configuration requires model provider credentials to initialize the agent and enable development workflows.

Does VoltAgent scaffolding automatically initialize a Git repository?▼

VoltAgent scaffolding can automatically initialize a Git repository if Git is installed locally, though it remains an optional step during the project bootstrapping process.
