Critical Boiler
AI Project Bootstrap CLI
A pnpm-installable CLI that gives coding agents durable project instructions, stack-aware docs, implementation skills, Beads planning, reusable prompts, styling foundations, and starter files instead of recreating predictable setup work.
Built with modern tools
Node CLI
ES module command-line package published as @twmw/critical-boiler.
pnpm Workflow
Global install and local development flow built around pnpm.
Stack Catalog
Technology-aware generation for React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, Astro, Next.js, Nuxt, Flutter, Tailwind, SCSS, and TypeScript.
Prompt Kit
Reusable prompt templates for feature work, bug investigations, reviews, tests, styling refactors, and project kickoff.
Beads Planning
Optional task planning files, setup scripts, commands, and workflow guidance create a closed planning loop for coding agents.
What makes it special
Token-Saving Setup
Writes long-lived AGENTS.md and ai-docs content so agents spend context on product work instead of rediscovering conventions.
Guided Stack Selection
Interactive setup chooses project type, technology, styling, and framework-specific starter files.
Safe, Current Scaffolding
Supports dry runs, additive Beads integration, safe existing-file behavior, and exact stable npm dependency versions resolved at generation time.
