create-agentic-app

Scaffold an AI-agent-native development environment with interactive presets.

Companion to agentic-dev-template.

Quick Start

npm create @ozzylabs/agentic-app my-app
cd my-app
bash scripts/setup.sh

Wizard

The interactive wizard asks up to 9 questions in an app-first flow (some are skipped when Project type → Library is chosen):

1. Project name
2. Project type — App (default) / Library (npm package)
3. Frontend — None / React + Vite / Next.js / Vue / Nuxt / SvelteKit / Astro
4. Backend — None / Hono / FastAPI / Express / Batch
5. Cloud providers — AWS / Azure / Google Cloud (multi-select)
6. Infrastructure as Code — CDK / CloudFormation / Terraform / Bicep (filtered by cloud)
7. Language toolchains — TypeScript / Python (excluding auto-resolved)
8. Testing tools — Playwright (multi-select)
9. AI Agent tools — Claude Code / Codex CLI / Gemini CLI / Amazon Q Developer / GitHub Copilot / Cline / Cursor (multi-select)

Presets

29 composable presets across 9 layers. Each provides owned files + merge contributions to shared files (package.json, .mise.toml, lefthook.yaml, VSCode, devcontainer, README.md, CI workflow).

| Layer | Presets | |-------|--------| | Base | Always included (git hooks, linters, devcontainer) | | Frontend | React + Vite, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro | | Backend | Hono, FastAPI, Express, Batch | | App | Library (npm package — release-please, dist build, MIT LICENSE) | | Cloud | AWS, Azure, Google Cloud | | IaC | CDK, CloudFormation, Terraform, Bicep | | Language | TypeScript, Python | | Testing | Playwright | | Agent | Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Amazon Q Developer, GitHub Copilot, Cline, Cursor |

See docs/design.md for the full preset details and dependency chains.

What You Get

Every generated project includes:

• Claude Code integration — CLAUDE.md, skills (/setup, /implement, /lint, /test, /commit, /pr, /review, /ship), MCP servers
• Git hooks — commitlint (commit-msg), linters + Gitleaks (pre-commit), typecheck (pre-push)
• CI workflow — All linters + tests + build on push/PR
• Dev Container — VSCode devcontainer with preset-specific tools, extensions, and mounts
• Renovate — Automated dependency updates

Development

See docs/development.md for setup instructions, commands, and testing guide.

Architecture

• src/presets/*.ts — Preset logic (merge contributions, dependencies)
• templates/*/ — Preset file assets (copied as-is to output)
• src/generator.ts — Composition engine (resolve → merge → output)
• src/merge.ts — Per-filetype merge logic (JSON, YAML, TOML, Markdown)

See docs/design.md for the full design document.

External Presets

Beyond the 28 built-in presets, create-agentic-app can load external preset packages (e.g. @ozzylabs/preset-*) without modifying the CLI:

npm create @ozzylabs/agentic-app my-app -- --preset @ozzylabs/preset-foo

Or list them in agentic-app.config.json next to your project:

{ "presets": ["@ozzylabs/preset-foo", "./local/preset"] }

See docs/preset-authoring.md § External Preset Packages for the authoring guide and examples/preset-example for a reference implementation.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines.

To add a new preset, see docs/preset-authoring.md.
