how it works

Three commands.
Zero config debt.

Everything your team needs to go from blank terminal to live URL without touching a single config file.

hackctl create
● Creating project✓ Project successfully created? my-app && hackctl start
Scaffold your stack
Five production-ready templates. Validates deps, clones, installs, generates config and AI context files automatically.
hackctl start
i Starting services● Frontend: running● Backend: running
Run everything together
All services concurrent. Live TUI status. Auto-installs missing deps. Graceful shutdown. Works on all platforms.
hackctl share
i Preparing tunnel client● https://trycloudflare.com? Ctrl+C to stop sharing.
Live URL in seconds
Cloudflare Quick Tunnel, no account, no config. Auto-downloads cloudflared. QR code in terminal. Share with judges instantly.

From zero to live URL.
Under two minutes.

Watch the complete flow from scaffolding a full-stack app to getting a live, shareable URL. No cuts, no fast-forwarding.

Terminal
ai-native by design

Your AI already
knows the project.

Built-in agent instructions give your AI stack-specific context from the first prompt.

Guidance for AI coding agents working in the hackctl workspace.

## Scope

This workspace is a polyrepo. Treat these as separate repositories:
- cli/ - Go CLI
- web/ - Next.js marketing and installer site
- templates/ - official scaffold templates

## Working Rules

- Identify the target repo before editing.
- Read the repo-local AGENTS.md before making changes.
