# create-agentic-app
Scaffold a new agentic AI application with Next.js, Better Auth, and AI SDK.
## Usage
Create a new project in the current directory:
```bash
npx create-agentic-app@latest .
```
Create a new project in a subdirectory:
```bash
npx create-agentic-app@latest my-app
```
## What's Included
This starter kit includes:
- **Next.js 15** with App Router and Turbopack
- **Better Auth** for authentication (email/password, OAuth)
- **AI SDK** by Vercel for AI chat functionality
- **Drizzle ORM** with PostgreSQL database
- **Tailwind CSS** with shadcn/ui components
- **TypeScript** for type safety
- **Dark mode** support with next-themes
## Next Steps
After creating your project:
1. **Update environment variables**: Edit `.env` with your API keys and database credentials
2. **Start the database**: `docker compose up -d`
3. **Run migrations**: `pnpm run db:migrate` (or `npm`/`yarn`)
4. **Start dev server**: `pnpm run dev`
Visit `http://localhost:3000` to see your app!
## Publishing to npm
To publish this package to npm:
1. **Update package.json**: Set your author, repository URL, and version in `create-agentic-app/package.json`
2. **Test locally** (optional): Test the package before publishing:
```bash
cd create-agentic-app
npm link
cd /path/to/test/directory
create-agentic-app my-test-app
```
3. **Publish**: The sync happens automatically!
```bash
cd create-agentic-app
npm publish
```
The `prepublishOnly` hook will automatically sync the template from the main project before publishing.
## Template Updates
### Automatic Sync (Recommended)
When publishing, the template syncs automatically via the `prepublishOnly` hook. Just run:
```bash
cd create-agentic-app
npm publish
```
### Manual Sync
If you want to sync without publishing:
**From the project root:**
```bash
npm run sync-template
```
**Or from the create-agentic-app directory:**
```bash
npm run sync
```
The sync script automatically:
- Copies all files from the main project to `template/`
- Excludes build artifacts (node_modules, .next, lock files, etc.)
- Removes `"private": true` from template's package.json
- Removes the `sync-template` script (users don't need it)
### Publishing Workflow
1. **Make changes** to the main boilerplate project
2. **Test your changes**
3. **Bump version** in `create-agentic-app/package.json`
4. **Publish**:
```bash
cd create-agentic-app
npm publish
```
