Quickstart

Scaffold a full-stack AI agent app, develop locally, and deploy to Yboard’s infrastructure — all from the terminal.

Prerequisites

Via Claude Code plugin (recommended if you use Claude Code or OpenAI Codex):

# Install the Yboard plugin for your AI coding agent
git clone https://github.com/ragdotpage/plugins

See the CLI Reference for detailed plugin setup instructions. Or install globally with Bun:

bun add -g @yboard/cli

yboard login

This opens your browser for device-code authentication. Once approved, your credentials are stored locally at ~/.yboard/auth.json.

Scaffold a new project from the starter template:

yboard setup my-app

This clones the template, removes the git history, re-initializes git, and installs dependencies.

From inside your project directory, provision a database and secrets:

cd my-app
yboard init

This creates a Neon Postgres database branch and stores the configuration in .yboard.json.

Build and deploy your application:

yboard deploy

The CLI will:

Once complete, you’ll see your live URL in the terminal.
