stack-agent

stack-agent

AI-powered CLI that helps developers choose and scaffold full-stack applications through conversational interaction.

A senior software architect in your terminal — it walks you through stack decisions, explains trade-offs, and scaffolds your project using official framework tools.

How it works

• Conversation — The agent asks what you're building, then guides you through frontend, backend, database, auth, payments, AI/LLM, and deployment choices
• Recommendations — Each stage presents 2-3 options with a recommended pick and trade-off context
• Review — Once all decisions are made, the agent presents your full stack for approval
• Scaffold — The agent runs official tools (create-next-app, create-vite, etc.) and generates integration code grounded by current documentation
