create-grain

Create a Grain instance and shared memory repo.

npx create-grain@latest

You will be prompted for a studio name.

Local development:

node packages/create-grain/bin/create-grain.js my-studio --open

This creates:

• my-studio-instance
• my-studio-memory
• my-studio-instance/memory -> ../my-studio-memory
• Grain hooks, command docs, Cursor rules, and agent protocol
• creative memory templates
• Canvas v0 static publishing support
• two initialized git repositories, unless --no-git is passed

Options

| Option | What it does | | --- | --- | | --open | Open the generated instance folder after setup | | --no-git | Skip git init for environments that handle git separately | | --help | Print usage |

First Run

cd my-studio-instance
bin/grain
bin/grain brief "first brief" --body "What we are building" --active
bin/grain publish "first canvas" --artifact "path/to/artifact.html" --body "What this proves."
