// Retrieve machine-readable context with tanstack libraries, tanstack doc, tanstack search-docs, tanstack create --list-add-ons --json, and --addon-details for agent-safe discovery and preflight validation.
Apply integrations to existing projects with tanstack add, including add-on id resolution, dependency chains, option prompts, and .cta.json project metadata preconditions.
Map tanstack ecosystem partner metadata to installable add-on ids using tanstack ecosystem --json, tanstack create --list-add-ons --json, and tanstack create --addon-details --json. Covers exclusive categories, provider options, and router-only compatibility constraints.
Scaffold a TanStack app with tanstack create using --framework, --template, --toolchain, --deployment, --add-ons, and --router-only. Covers flag compatibility, non-interactive defaults, and intent-preserving command construction.
Build and iterate custom add-ons/templates with tanstack add-on init, add-on compile, add-on dev, and tanstack create --dev-watch, including sync loop preconditions, watch-path validation, and project metadata constraints.

npx @tanstack/cli libraries --json
npx @tanstack/cli libraries --json
# Syntax: tanstack doc <library-id> <path> [--docs-version <version>]
npx @tanstack/cli doc router framework/react/guide/routing
npx @tanstack/cli doc router framework/react/guide/routing --docs-version latest
npx @tanstack/cli search-docs "server functions" --library start --json
Wrong:
# Wrong: --library and --version are not flags on doc; path must not include /docs/ prefix
npx @tanstack/cli doc --library router --version latest --path /docs/framework/react/guide/routing
Correct:
# Step 1: resolve a valid library id
npx @tanstack/cli libraries --json
# Step 2: fetch using positional args — library id then doc path (no /docs/ prefix)
npx @tanstack/cli doc router framework/react/guide/routing
doc takes <library> and <path> as positional arguments (not flags), and the path must not include a leading /docs/ segment. Use --docs-version (not --version) to pin a specific version.

Wrong:
npx create-tsrouter-app --list-add-ons
Correct:
npx @tanstack/cli create --list-add-ons --json
Legacy alias workflows can produce confusing outputs that do not match current CLI discovery behavior. Fixed in newer versions, but agents trained on older examples may still generate this pattern.

This domain's patterns conflict with create-app-scaffold and choose-ecosystem-integrations. Skipping discovery to run one-shot scaffold commands tends to lock in plausible defaults that miss architecture constraints.
