System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It removes the blank-page work of starting an Alpaca dashboard from scratch by generating a ready-to-run local app for paper trading and market data exploration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Next.js scaffold: Creates a local dashboard built on the published Alpaca TypeScript SDK.
  • Trading workflows: Demonstrates account, positions, orders, and paper order submission flows.
  • Market data workflows: Shows stock browsing, symbol detail pages, and historical price charts.
  • Safety-first defaults: Uses paper trading by default, supports placeholder credentials, and avoids overwriting existing generated files.
  • Use case: A software engineer can spin up a working Alpaca prototype for demos, internal validation, or SDK learning in minutes.

Quick Start
