vibe-generate
Stop setting up projects. Start building them.
A single binary that scaffolds production-ready projects from opinionated, best-practice templates — with built-in AI-assisted development support.
Install • Templates • Usage • Add Your Own • Claude Code Plugin
Why?
Every new project starts the same way: copy an old project, rip out the business logic, fix the config, update dependencies, wonder why the build is broken. Repeat.
vibe-generate fixes this. One command gives you a fully configured, production-grade project with:
- Modern tooling and latest stable dependencies
- Multi-module/multi-crate architecture that scales
CLAUDE.mdfiles so AI coding assistants understand your stack conventions from the start- Zero runtime dependencies — templates are embedded in the binary at compile time
vibe-generate --template nextjs --name my-app
# Done. Start coding.
Templates
| Template | Stack | What you get |
|---|---|---|
nextjs | Next.js 16 • tRPC v11 • Tailwind CSS 4 • Drizzle ORM | Full-stack TypeScript app with type-safe API layer, App Router, Turbopack, and Zod validation |
rust-1.9 | Rust 2024 • clap 4 • tracing • tokio • axum | Multi-crate workspace with centralized deps, workspace lints, and optional web/crypto/CLI features |
java-25 | Spring Boot 4.0 • Gradle 9.3 • Java 25 | Multi-module project with version catalog, Spotless formatting, and dynamic module discovery |
Each template is opinionated and battle-tested — not a minimal hello-world, but a real project structure you'd actually use in production.

Requires Rust 1.70+.
Usage
# Interactive — pick a template from a menu
vibe-generate --name my-project
# Direct — skip the menu
vibe-generate --template nextjs --name my-app
# Custom output directory
vibe-generate --template rust-1.9 --name my-cli --output-dir ~/projects
Claude Code Plugin
vibe-generate ships as a Claude Code plugin, so you can scaffold projects directly from your AI coding session:
/plugin marketplace add TikTzuki/project-templates
/plugin install vibe-generate@TikTzuki/project-templates
Then use the /new command:
/new nextjs my-app
/new rust-1.9 my-cli
/new java-25 my-service ~/projects
Every generated project includes a CLAUDE.md file tailored to its stack, so Claude Code immediately understands the
project conventions, architecture, and tooling.
