Epic J · Create Awesome · family hub

One command. Any stack.

Family of CLIs that compose templates + addons into production-ready apps — not generators that hide files, but composers that ship real code you own.

Template + addons = real files. No lock-in, no hidden runtime.

Family — three runtimes, one composition model

Same mental model across Node, Python, and V: pick a template, add addons. Real files, no hidden runtime. Catalog counts verified: CNA 10+53, CPA 6+18, CVA 7+11.

How to contribute

1. Pick a family — Node, Python, or V — each lives in its own c*-templates repo.
2. Add template or addon — PR a template (full stack) or addon (slice) with schema + docs. →
3. Build-time sync — Catalog stays in c*-templates; website composes verified IDs only — no invented catalogs.
4. Ship — Reviewed PR → new version → npm/uvx/AUR/release binary. →

Build-time sync: catalog lives in cna-templates / cpa-templates / cva-templates, the site just composes. No duplication.
