A production-ready Node.js TypeScript boilerplate providing a strict, modern toolchain with ESM, Vitest, ESLint, Prettier, GitHub Actions CI, and Mise for reproducible toolchains. It is intentionally minimal and framework-agnostic, including an AGENTS.md file with guidance for AI coding agents.

Use cases

• start a new Node.js TypeScript backend project
• create a framework-free TypeScript service or API
• bootstrap a CLI tool or background worker in TypeScript
• set up a TypeScript library with testing and CI from day one
• use Vitest and native ESM instead of Jest and CommonJS
• give AI coding agents like Copilot or Claude Code clear project instructions
• avoid over-opinionated starters that force Express or NestJS

When to choose

• you want a clean, boring, production-ready TypeScript foundation without framework lock-in
• you prefer native ESM and Vitest over CommonJS and Jest
• you need linting, formatting, testing, and CI wired up immediately
• you want reproducible local toolchains via Mise
• you plan to use AI coding agents and want project conventions documented upfront

When to avoid

• you need batteries-included web frameworks like Express, NestJS, or Fastify out of the box
• you require built-in database, ORM, authentication, or Docker configuration
• you want serverless deployment tooling or cloud-specific setup included
• you prefer CommonJS modules or Jest as your test runner
• you are not starting a new project and just need individual libraries rather than a template
