Direct Scaffolding

Quickly start a project by specifying the language and name:

ini go my-app
ini assemble bootloader --type os
ini python ai-tool --type ai

Non-Interactive (Flags)

Scaffold projects instantly with specific categories:

# Syntax: ini [language] [project-name] --type [category]
ini rust game-engine --type game
ini bun web-app --type web --framework next --variant ts
ini asm drive-controller --type embedded

🛠 Development

Prerequisites

• Go 1.21+
• Language-specific toolchains (e.g., uv, cargo, nasm, bun) depending on what you scaffold.

Running Locally

go run main.go

Internal Test Suite

We maintain an internal integration suite to verify all 39+ handlers:
