create-bight

Scaffold a new Bight.ts Discord bot with a guided prompt flow or direct CLI flags.

Quick start

npm create bight@latest

pnpm create bight

bun create bight

Templates

Use --template to start from named pre-selections instead of choosing every option from scratch.

• starter: balanced default with validation helpers and formatter examples
• minimal: smallest official scaffold
• hybrid: slash commands plus message and prefix command support
• ops-ready: devtools, settings, and startup checks

Examples:

npm create bight@latest -- --template=starter

bun create bight --template=hybrid --package-manager=bun

pnpm create bight --template=ops-ready --storage=prisma --sql-provider=postgres
