Commands

core generate scaffold <project-name>

Quickly initializes a new Quatrain project.

• Creates a base directory.
• Sets up the apps/, data/, config/, packages/, and migrations/ folders.
• Generates a monorepo-ready package.json utilizing Yarn workspaces.
• Generates a tsconfig.json pre-configured with the required path mappings.

core generate config

Starts an interactive wizard to generate a quatrain.json configuration file.

• Prompts for Backend, Auth, Queue, Storage, and Messaging adapters.
• Generates a normalized JSON configuration.
• The generated env(...) tokens will be resolved at runtime by the AppBootloader.

core generate migration <name>

Scaffolds a new migration file.

• Creates a migrations/ directory if it does not exist.
• Generates a timestamped TypeScript file (e.g., 20260427184500_init.ts).
• Provides boilerplate up() and down() methods.

Language Guidelines

Recommendation: All text contents (such as console logs, commit messages, and comments) within the Quatrain ecosystem must be written in International English. This ensures accessibility and maintainability for developers worldwide.
