vibe-generate

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.md files 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

Each template is opinionated and battle-tested — not a minimal hello-world, but a real project structure you'd actually use in production.

Install

Grab the latest binary from GitHub Releases:

# Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4)
curl -fsSL https://github.com/TikTzuki/project-templates/releases/latest/download/vibe-generate-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv vibe-generate /usr/local/bin/

# Intel
curl -fsSL https://github.com/TikTzuki/project-templates/releases/latest/download/vibe-generate-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv vibe-generate /usr/local/bin/

# x86_64
curl -fsSL https://github.com/TikTzuki/project-templates/releases/latest/download/vibe-generate-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv vibe-generate /usr/local/bin/

# aarch64
curl -fsSL https://github.com/TikTzuki/project-templates/releases/latest/download/vibe-generate-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv vibe-generate /usr/local/bin/

git clone https://github.com/TikTzuki/project-templates.git
cd project-templates
cargo install --path vibe-generate

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.
