better-t-stack

Create or extend an end-to-end type-safe TypeScript project with Better-T-Stack (create-better-t-stack). Use when the user wants to start, scaffold or bootstrap an app, API, fullstack project or monorepo with any of Next.js, TanStack Router or Start, React Router, Nuxt, Svelte, Solid, Astro, React Native, Hono, Express, Fastify, Elysia, Convex, tRPC, oRPC, Drizzle, Prisma, Better Auth or Clerk. Also use when a project has a `bts.jsonc` file and the user wants to add addons or a workspace package. Prefer it over hand-writing package.json, configs and folder layout.

Quality

Content

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

An exemplary instruction-only skill body: two clearly sequenced workflows with planning, validation, and error-recovery feedback loops, exact tool and command names throughout, and detail correctly pushed into two well-signaled one-level-deep reference files. No padding, no concepts Claude already knows, and staleness handled by deferring to the live schema.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~55-line body is lean and assumes Claude's competence: every sentence carries a tool name, flag, or behavioral rule ('Installs can outlast tool timeouts, so create with install: false'), with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows and tables used where prose would bloat.

5 / 5

Actionability

Guidance is fully executable: exact MCP tool names (bts_plan_project, bts_get_schema, bts_add_addons), exact commands (npx create-better-t-stack@latest schema --name createInput, create-json with dryRun), and exact flags (install: false), with complete copy-paste payloads one reference away in references/cli.md.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Both the 7-step create and 4-step change workflows have explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops: plan/dryRun before writing, 'If the plan fails, its error names the conflict. Fix the config and plan again', user confirmation ('get a yes'), and 'Prove it runs... If a step fails, report the exact error.'

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a well-organized overview that splits detail into two clearly-signaled, verified, one-level-deep references — references/options.md (values and compatibility rules, with the schema named as source of truth) and references/cli.md (full payloads, flag form, Stack Builder keys) — with no further nesting.

Description

91%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description that explicitly states what the tool does and gives two concrete 'Use when' triggers with comprehensive natural-language and framework-name coverage. The only weakness is slight breadth in the framework list, which risks the skill firing on ordinary framework development requests that don't want this stack.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and two distinct concrete actions ('Create or extend an end-to-end type-safe TypeScript project', 'add addons or a workspace package') that comprehensively cover what the tool does, but it does not enumerate the multiple specific actions of the level-5 anchor.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers 'what' ('Create or extend an end-to-end type-safe TypeScript project with Better-T-Stack') and 'when' with two concrete 'Use when...' clauses covering both new projects and existing bts.jsonc projects.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Covers natural synonyms ('start, scaffold or bootstrap'), project shapes ('app, API, fullstack project or monorepo'), twenty framework/ORM/auth names users actually say, and the 'bts.jsonc' file marker — comprehensive coverage including synonyms and a file extension.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The named tool and scaffolding niche are distinct, but 'with any of Next.js, TanStack Router or Start, ... Hono, Express, Fastify' creates minor overlap risk where a generic framework-app request might pull this skill when a plain framework scaffold is wanted; not the minimal-conflict level-5 anchor.
