SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

VoltAgent project creation is complex and error-prone, requiring many configuration steps across CLI prompts and manual setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CLI-driven bootstrap: automates scaffolding through npm create voltagent-app@latest with guided prompts.
  • Manual bootstrap steps: provides an end-to-end manual setup to tailor to different environments.
  • Generated project layout: creates a ready-to-run VoltAgent project with standard directories and config.
  • Use Case: Start a new VoltAgent project for a microservice with a consistent baseline and deploy-ready setup.

Quick Start

Run npm create voltagent-app@latest to scaffold a new VoltAgent project and begin development.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new VoltAgent project using TypeScript?

You can scaffold a VoltAgent project automatically by running npm create voltagent-app@latest, which uses CLI prompts to generate a ready-to-run TypeScript directory layout and configuration.

What is the best way to automate VoltAgent project bootstrapping for microservices?

Automated VoltAgent bootstrapping via the CLI generates a consistent, deploy-ready baseline configuration, preventing manual setup errors when initializing microservice architectures.

Do I need Node.js 20+ to create a VoltAgent application?

Yes, VoltAgent project bootstrapping requires Node.js 20+ and an API key for your model provider, while Git is optional for automatic repository initialization.

Can I manually configure a VoltAgent project instead of using CLI prompts?

Yes, VoltAgent bootstrapping provides an end-to-end manual setup path to tailor standard directories and configuration files to specific environments without relying on CLI prompts.

Why does my VoltAgent project bootstrap fail without a model provider API key?

VoltAgent project bootstrapping fails without an API key because the generated configuration requires model provider credentials to initialize the agent and enable development workflows.

Does VoltAgent scaffolding automatically initialize a Git repository?

VoltAgent scaffolding can automatically initialize a Git repository if Git is installed locally, though it remains an optional step during the project bootstrapping process.
