coldstart — Ship full-stack apps, not boilerplate

Prerequisites

Node.js 24+ and pnpm 10+ are required. Check with node -v and pnpm -v.

If you don't have pnpm:

Terminal

corepack enable
corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate

No installation needed — pnpm downloads and runs it:

Terminal

pnpm dlx @yabbal/coldstart init

Install once, use anywhere:

Terminal

pnpm add -g @yabbal/coldstart
coldstart init

Install the skill, then use /coldstart in Claude Code:

Terminal

pnpm dlx skills add yabbal/cold-start

Claude Code generates the config conversationally and runs coldstart replay — no terminal interaction needed.

See the Claude Code guide for the full workflow.
