Check Projects

Diagnose existing Better Fullstack projects from the CLI.

The check command validates a scaffolded Better Fullstack project. It is the user-facing alias for the existing doctor command.

npm create better-fullstack@latest check -- --skip-checks

What check does

  • Reads and validates bts.jsonc.
  • Checks whether dependencies are installed for the detected package manager or ecosystem.
  • Reports missing required environment variables from .env.example files.
  • Runs available generated-project type or build checks unless --skip-checks is passed.
  • Supports --json for agents and CI scripts.

Flags

FlagBehavior
positional project directoryProject directory to diagnose. Defaults to the current directory.
--skip-checksSkip generated type/build checks and only inspect config, dependencies, and env files.
--jsonPrint structured JSON. The command exits non-zero when failures are present.

Doctor Alias

doctor remains available for compatibility:

npm create better-fullstack@latest doctor -- --skip-checks
