In plain words
Kirimase is a CLI tool for scaffolding full-stack Next.js applications. It automates initial setup for common packages including ORMs (Drizzle or Prisma), authentication solutions (Next-Auth, Clerk, Lucia), tRPC, Shadcn-UI, and Resend for emails. The tool generates database models, API controllers, and UI components, similar to Rails' scaffolding feature. It is designed for developers who want to skip repetitive configuration and start building immediately.

Hello, HN! Excited to share Kirimase, a CLI tool I built to scratch a recurring itch: is there a better way to set up my nextjs projects with my essentials packages? If you’ve grappled with the repetitive chore of configuring orm (drizzle orm or prisma), auth (next-auth, clerk or lucia-auth), trpc, shadcn-ui and resend (email), I hope this can help! Features Quick init: Dive straight into development without the mundane initial setup for core packages. Scaffolding: Inspired by the Rails CLI's scaffold feature, Kirimase helps you quickly set up new DB models + controllers (api and trpc routers) + views (using shadcn ui).
