- `stanza init --dry-run` no longer creates the project directory, monorepo shell, or `stanza.json`; the dry-run manifest is built with `emptyManifest` and package.json existence checks are skipped throughout `applyModule`
- Direct-fs codemods (`append-to-file`, `add-package-dep`, `set-tsconfig-paths`) now claim their region before writing so a failed `add` rolls back to true pre-apply bytes and `RegionConflictError` fires before any disk change
- `stanza remove` reads the `consumesPackages` snapshot persisted on each installed record (falling back to a live registry fetch only for legacy records), so package-dir protection holds offline and after upstream renames
- `stanza remove` only applies the legacy bare-id owner fallback when no sibling install of the same module remains, preventing one app's removal from sweeping another app's files on pre-composite-owner manifests
- `stanza doctor` no longer reports false drift for package-home modules installed with an `--app` restriction; `expectedConsumerApps` now intersects targeted apps from the manifest records
- `wrap-root-layout` resolves the framework per dispatched app, fixing multi-app projects with differing frameworks
- The codemod render context now carries `packageManager` so `{{pm}}`/`{{run …}}` templates render bun/npm/pnpm correctly instead of always defaulting to pnpm
Stanza
Modular monorepo template CLI — aka shadcn for full-stack TypeScript projects.
npm init stanza my-revolutionary-app
Pick a framework, ORM, database, auth provider, and UI — get a clean monorepo with idiomatic code, vendored into your repo. Layer in more modules later with stanza-cli add.
Warning
Major work in progress! See the module registry for the roadmap.
Why Stanza?
addworks afterinit. Runstanza addon an existing project — it's manifest-driven and peer-aware, so it picks the right adapter for your stack and wires deps, env, and templates into the correct workspace package.- Your code, vendored. Generated files land in your repo verbatim. There's no Stanza runtime to install or carry around.
- Open registry. Modules are static JSON. Point the CLI at your own host and serve custom modules.
Quick start
npm init stanza my-app
cd my-app
npm install
npm run dev
Add a module to an existing project at any time:
npx stanza-cli add auth better-auth
auth, db, and orm install into their own internal workspace packages (packages/auth/, packages/db/, named @<your-app>/auth, @<your-app>/db); your app consumes them via workspace:*. Swapping an auth provider replaces the contents of packages/auth/ without touching your app's imports.
