Philosophy Copy Chapter

• Roll your own stack: you pick only the parts you need, nothing extra.
• Minimal templates: bare-bones scaffolds with zero bloat.
• Latest dependencies: always use current, stable versions by default.
• Free and open source: forever.

Quick Start Copy Chapter

# Using bun (recommended)
bun create better-t-stack@latest

pnpm create better-t-stack@latest

# Using npm
npx create-better-t-stack@latest

Claude Code plugin Copy Chapter

Want your AI assistant to scaffold and extend projects with Better-T-Stack? Install the plugin and it will plan a valid stack and generate it through the bundled MCP server instead of hand-rolling boilerplate.

/plugin marketplace add AmanVarshney01/create-better-t-stack
/plugin install better-t-stack@better-t-stack

Then ask: "create a fullstack app with Next, Hono, Postgres and Better Auth", or run /better-t-stack:new <description>. See plugin/ and the Agent Workflows docs.
