Getting Started with DevDigest CLI
Install the dd CLI and scaffold your first AI-powered app in under a minute.
Getting Started
Install
npm install -g devdigest
Create a project
dd init my-app
This scaffolds a complete app with:
- Next.js 16 -- React framework with App Router
- Convex -- Reactive backend with real-time sync
- Clerk -- Authentication (sign-in, sign-up, user management)
- Autumn -- Billing and subscriptions
- Tailwind CSS v4 -- Utility-first styling
- CLAUDE.md -- Agent-friendly project documentation
Next steps
cd my-app
# Add your API keys to .env.local
npx convex dev
npm run dev
Use with AI coding tools
The generated CLAUDE.md file makes your project immediately usable with any AI coding tool:
Claude Code:
cd my-app
claude
Cursor: Open the project in Cursor -- it reads CLAUDE.md automatically.
Any MCP-compatible tool:
{
"mcpServers": {
"devdigest": {
"command": "dd",
"args": ["mcp"]
}
}
}
Copy this prompt for your AI agent
You are working on a Next.js 16 project scaffolded with the DevDigest CLI. Read the CLAUDE.md file for full stack details. The project uses Convex for the backend, Clerk for auth, and Autumn for billing. All environment variables are listed in .env.example.
