SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

TanStack Start projects often suffer from misaligned scaffolds and confusing routing setups. This guide provides a structured approach to orient full-stack React work around TanStack Start conventions, including file-based routing, server functions, and migrations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Upstream integration awareness: Documents how upstream skills copied from @tanstack/intent feed into local scaffolds and how to load the most specific upstream skill before framework changes.
  • Example scaffolds and routes: Describes known TanStack Start scaffold families and file-based router examples to accelerate setup.
  • Cross-runtime guidance: Outlines how plugin marketplaces, packaging overlays, and runtime artifacts align with Claude and Codex ecosystems.

Quick Start

Begin with the TanStack Start Basic scaffold and tailor routing and server functions to your project.
