SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @tanstack/cli.

What problem does it solve? Setting up a new TanStack Start application requires manually wiring together routing, authentication, databases, deployment targets, and developer tooling. This Skill guides project scaffolding through the TanStack CLI so projects are generated with consistent, pre-configured integrations instead of assembled by hand. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Project Creation: Generate TanStack Start apps interactively or with an explicit --integrations flag covering 30+ options like Clerk, Drizzle, Neon, tRPC, and Vercel. - Custom Templates: Create and reuse team-standardized project templates from git repositories or local paths for consistent setups. - MCP Server for AI Agents: Expose documentation search, integration discovery, and scaffolding assistance to AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol. - Use Case: A developer needs a full-stack app with auth and a database. Run the CLI with clerk,drizzle,neon,vercel integrations to generate a configured project, then check .env.example for required environment variables. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a new TanStack Start app named my-app with the tanstack-query, clerk, drizzle, and vercel integrations using the TanStack CLI.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a TanStack Start app with specific integrations?▼

Run npx @tanstack/cli create my-app --integrations followed by a comma-separated list such as tanstack-query,clerk,drizzle. The CLI generates the project with those integrations pre-configured, including library files and environment variable templates.

What integrations are available in the TanStack CLI?▼

The CLI offers 30+ integrations across categories: TanStack libraries (query, form, table, store), authentication (Clerk, Better Auth, WorkOS), databases (Drizzle, Prisma, Neon, Convex), deployment (Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare), and tools like Biome, shadcn/ui, and Sentry.

Can I use a custom template with the TanStack CLI?▼

Yes, pass --template with a git repository URL or local path, for example npx @tanstack/cli create my-app --template ./templates/my-template. Templates include a template.config.ts plus the standard project structure for team-standardized setups.

Does the TanStack CLI work with AI assistants like Claude?▼

Yes, the CLI includes an MCP server started with the mcp command. Configure it in your assistant's MCP settings to enable TanStack documentation search, integration discovery, and guided project scaffolding.

Why does my generated TanStack app fail after creation?▼

Common causes include not running the package install after generation, missing environment variables listed in .env.example, or skipping database initialization when using Drizzle or Prisma. Check .env.example first and run migrations if a database integration was selected.
