create-manifest

The create manifest create a new project with Manifest.

yarn create manifest my-project --cursor

This will create a new folder named my-project, install Manifest, and configure it for Cursor.

You can replace --cursor with:

• --copilot for GitHub Copilot
• --windsurf for Windsurf
• or remove it entirely if you're not using an AI coding tool

You can also specify your project name directly (my-project in the example). If omitted, the CLI will prompt you for it during setup.

npx create-manifest@latest

Develop

npm install

# Run from a test folder to prevent messing with project files.
mkdir test-folder
cd test-folder
../bin/dev.js

However due to the monorepo workspace structure, the launch script will fail as the path to the node modules folder is different than when served. This is normal.

Publish

npm run build
npm publish
