spawnkit

Spawnkit is a friendly, zero-config CLI that scaffolds modern dApp starter projects from curated templates — then installs dependencies and prints the “what to do next” commands. Pick your vibe, pick a preset, name your app, and you’re ready to build.

Installation

• Use without installing:

  npx spawnkit@latest init

• Or install globally:

  npm install -g spawnkit@latest
  spawn init

You’ll choose:

1. Language style (vibe)
2. Project preset
3. Project folder name

Example session:

✔ Pick your language style: Default - clean & professional
✔ Choose your project setup: Next.js + Hardhat Starter kit
✔ Enter a name for your project folder: spawned

Usage

spawn

Commands

• spawn — interactive mode
• spawn init — interactive mode
• spawn <preset> — non-interactive preset selection (still prompts for project name)
• spawn init <preset> — non-interactive preset selection and project name (projectName = preset)

How It Works

• Pick a language style (“vibe”): default, genz, or shakespeare
• Pick a template preset
• Enter a project folder name
• Spawnkit downloads the template, installs dependencies, and prints the next commands (like cd <your-app> and npm run dev)

What It Does

• Prompts for a language style (“vibe”), a template preset, and a project folder name
• Downloads the chosen template via degit and creates the folder
• Detects your package manager automatically and installs dependencies
• Prints helpful follow-up commands (e.g. cd <your-app>, npm run dev)

Key Features

• Interactive flow with three language styles
• Validated presets and safe folder handling
• Auto-installs using your detected package manager

Update Notifier

Spawnkit checks for new releases and shows a small banner if you’re out of date. The suggested update command adapts to your package manager.
