## What it is
The official TanStack CLI for scaffolding and managing TanStack Start and TanStack Router applications, with composable add-ons for auth, databases, deployment, and monitoring. It also provides agent-friendly JSON introspection for discovering add-ons, libraries, and documentation from the terminal.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new TanStack Start full-stack app
- create a TanStack Router SPA without SSR
- add auth or database add-ons like Clerk or Drizzle to a project
- search TanStack docs from the terminal with JSON output
- let AI agents inspect add-on metadata and library catalogs
- set up a project with deployment config for Cloudflare

## When to choose
- starting a new TanStack Start or Router project
- composing add-ons with declared dependencies and conflicts instead of manual setup
- building agent or CI workflows that need machine-readable CLI output

## When to avoid
- scaffolding projects outside the TanStack ecosystem
- you need a general-purpose monorepo or build tool
- you require a fully stable v1 release (currently v0/alpha)
