CLI

Commands to bootstrap and reshape projects with feature-level control.

What It Does

@creatorem/cli scaffolds and refactors monorepos using app + feature selection. It can also generate SQL artifacts from .creatorem/setup.json inputs.

When To Use

Starting a new customer project.
Removing unused features from an existing repo.
Generating SQL schemas/migrations after setup changes.

Prerequisites

git available in PATH.
pnpm workspace environment.
Run from monorepo root for generate-sql commands.

Important

This page describes the standard kit integration path; adapt app-specific paths and config names when your project differs.

How To Use

Core commands


pnpm dlx @creatorem/cli create
creatorem create-dashboard my-dashboard --features ai,keybindings
creatorem create-mobile my-mobile --features organization,onboarding
creatorem generate-sql
creatorem generate-schemas
creatorem generate-migration

Important options

--features: comma-separated feature keys to keep.
--edit: mutate current app in place.
--repo-scope: also remove repo-level assets/dependencies for deselected features.
--oss: force OSS template source.

Selectable apps

App	Description
Dashboard	Main SaaS dashboard (Next.js)
Marketing	Landing / marketing website (Next.js)
Mobile	React Native app (Expo)
API	Standalone API server
Examples	Optional real-case example apps from `examples/*` to bootstrap from concrete implementations

Selectable features

Features are selected per app. Each one toggles UI components, database schemas, and kit packages.

Dashboard

Key	What it adds
`analytics`	Google Analytics and Umami support
`monitoring`	Sentry integration
`ai`	AI chat UI, tools, AI wallet and usage tracking
`organization`	Teams, roles, member management, `<OrganizationSwitcher />`
`notification`	Notification UI and database logic
`billing`	Stripe and Lemon Squeezy, subscriptions, one-time payments, credit wallet
`content-type`	Premade data-display components, search helpers, edit forms
`keybindings`	Keyboard shortcut settings UI and React hooks
`onboarding`	Post-signup information collection
`email-templates`	React Email templates for auth and transactional emails
`emailer`	Email sending via Nodemailer, Postmark, Resend, or Sendgrid

Mobile

Key	What it adds
`organization`	Teams, roles, member management (React Native)
`notification`	Notification UI and database logic (React Native)
`onboarding`	Post-signup information collection

Selectable examples

If the source repository contains an examples/ directory, the wizard can include one or more examples in the generated project.

SQL generation behavior

generate-schemas: creates supabase/app-schemas/*.sql.
generate-migration: merges supabase/schemas + supabase/app-schemas into supabase/migrations/<timestamp>_generated_from_schemas.sql.
generate-sql defaults to migration mode.

MCP Context


capability: project_generation_and_refactor
entrypoints:
  - cli/src/cli.tsx
  - cli/src/commands/create*.tsx
  - cli/src/commands/generate-*.mjs
inputs:
  - app_selection
  - feature_selection
  - setup_reference
outputs:
  - generated_or_trimmed_monorepo
  - generated_sql_artifacts
constraints:
  - feature keys must match command-specific feature registries
  - SQL generation expects supabase directory structure
side_effects:
  - creates/deletes files
  - updates workspace deps and manifests

Agent Recipe

For new projects, run create and choose apps/features interactively.
For existing repos, use create-dashboard --edit or create-mobile --edit with explicit --features.
After schema/setup edits, run creatorem generate-sql from root.

Troubleshooting

If generate-sql cannot find setup input, pass explicit path: creatorem generate-schemas apps/<app>/.creatorem/setup.json.
If repo cleanup is incomplete, rerun with --repo-scope.
