Verno Studio CLI

One command from zero to a Next.js app with optional Turborepo, workspace packages, shadcn/ui, and Ultracite — wired through the official CLIs.

Quick Start

verno create

From the published package:

bun x @vernostudio/cli create

What you get

Instant project scaffolding from templates

Spin up a new project from the stack this repo ships. Pick add-ons, answer prompts, or pass --yes.

Mode	What you get
Next.js app	Single-app layout: Next.js + TypeScript, scoped as @<scope>/…
Turborepo	Monorepo root with apps/web and optional packages/*
Workspace packages	typescript-config and/or design-system (when Turborepo is on; interactive default is both)
shadcn	shadcn init (preset nova by default) + shadcn add --all — app root, or packages/design-system when that package exists
Ultracite	ultracite init with linter oxlint, biome, or eslint (ultracite init --linter)

Non-interactive and dry runs

• -y / --yes — no prompts; project name is required (e.g. verno create my-app -y).
• --dry-run — prints the plan (stack, install, shadcn, Ultracite, git) without writing files or hooks.

After create

The CLI can install deps, run shadcn and Ultracite, then git init with an initial Verno Studio commit. .verno/manifest.json records generation metadata.

All flags

  [project-name]             Project directory (required with -y, --yes)

                             (requires turborepo; with -y, defaults to both if omitted)
