command

ridu new

Scaffold a thin Ridu application, resolve Go dependencies, and generate its first contracts.

Example

shell

ridu new --package-manager npm \
  --module github.com/acme/content \
  --scope @acme \
  content
cd content
npm install
npm run dev

Arguments

Argument	Type	Description
`--template`	`starter \| blank`	Embedded application template; defaults to starter.
`--database`	`postgres \| sqlite \| mongodb`	Official database adapter; defaults to postgres.
`--package-manager`	`npm \| bun \| pnpm \| yarn`	Frontend package manager; defaults to npm outside the interactive wizard.
`--agent`	`codex \| claude \| cursor \| all \| none`	Release-matched local coding-agent layout; defaults to codex outside a terminal.
`--no-agent`	`boolean`	Do not install coding-agent entrypoints, skills, or ownership manifest.
`--module`	`string`	Go module path; defaults to example.com/<project>.
`--scope`	`string`	npm scope for the generated admin workspace; defaults to @<project>.
`directory`	`string`	New project directory, which must not already exist.

How it works

The scaffold is kept if dependency setup or initial generation fails, and the CLI prints recovery commands.

--release-version is a framework-development override for exercising an alternate dependency release; ordinary application authors should not use it.
