Guide to create-starter-app (packages/create-starter-app), the interactive scaffolder that copies a starter template out of starter-templates/ — the arrow-key menu, how templates are resolved and copied, the package.json rewrite, and which template ids actually exist on disk. Use when working with create-starter-app or troubleshooting it — ENOENT when copying a template, the menu offering a template that isn't there, node_modules being copied, "directory already exists", or the CLI failing…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Working With create-starter-app

The scaffolder in `packages/create-starter-app`, published as **`create-starter-app`** (`bun create starter-app` / `npx create-starter-app`). It is deliberately tiny: pick a template from an arrow-key menu, name the project, and it copies a directory.

## Setup

```bash
bun create starter-app     # or: npx create-starter-app
```

Node ≥18, ESM. There are no flags or arguments — everything is prompted.

## How it resolves templates

`bin/create-starter-app.js` resolves `../../../starter-templates` relative to itself, i.e. **the `starter-templates/` directory at the root of this monorepo**. It then:

1. Shows the menu (↑↓ to move, Enter to confirm, `q` to quit).
2. Asks for a project name, defaulting to the template id minus the `template-` prefix.
3. Refuses to continue if that directory already exists.
4. `cpSync`s the template recursively, filtering out `node_modules`, `.next`, and `dist`.
5. Rewrites the copied `package.json`: sets `name` to the project name, sets `private: true`, deletes `version`.

Then it prints the next steps: `cd`, copy `.env.example`, install, `bun dev`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add opensourceagi/dev-tools-starter-agent/create-starter-app@sha256:72ccb8590dd5d0d2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.813bf90, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
