create-veto-app

Scaffold a minimal TypeScript app that starts with protect(tools).

npm create veto-app -- my-agent --template node-ts --pack soc2-lite --yes
# or
npx create-veto-app my-agent --template node-ts --pack soc2-lite --yes

The scaffolder creates a tiny Node + TypeScript project, runs veto init for local Veto config/rules, and does not run package installation. No node_modules or lockfiles are generated.

Options

create-veto-app <project-dir> [--template node-ts] [--pack <name>] [--cloud] [--api-key <key>] [--yes] [--no-install]

• --template node-ts: supported starter template.
• --pack <name>: none, default, or a built-in Veto pack such as soc2-lite.
• --cloud: generate veto/veto.config.yaml for Veto Cloud API mode.
• --api-key <key>: writes the key to veto/veto.config.yaml and ignores that file in .gitignore. Prefer environment variables for shared projects.
• --yes: non-interactive mode. A project directory is required.
• --no-install: accepted for compatibility; installs are not run by default.

Starter compliance packs are policy templates operators must review and tune. They do not make an app compliant.

Generated apps use the public SDK entrypoint first:

import { protect } from "veto-sdk";

const safeTools = await protect(tools);
