+# @open-everywhere/create
+
+The scaffold and setup check for Open Everywhere.
+
+Part of [Open Everywhere](https://github.com/open-everywhere/open-everywhere) — an open, self-hostable autonomous teammate you tag where your
+team works. This package is run, not imported, and it does two things: it scaffolds a new app from
+the quickstart template, and it reports an existing app's setup status without touching it.
+
+**Setup itself is agent-led.** There is no interactive wizard: you open the scaffolded app in your
+coding agent and ask it to set up Open Everywhere. The agent reads the app's `AGENTS.md`, drives the
+`open-everywhere-ops` MCP server, and reads this command's `--check` report. Two routes are
+supported, and the agent asks which first: **Vercel** (the `vercel` CLI plus Marketplace Neon) or
+**Docker** (a self-hosted container that satisfies the
+[deployment contract](https://github.com/open-everywhere/open-everywhere/blob/main/docs/deploy/contract.md)).
+
+## Use
+
+### Start a new app
+
+```sh
+npm create @open-everywhere my-agent
+```
+
+`npx @open-everywhere/create my-agent` does the same thing: npm maps a bare scope to
+`@scope/create`, so both reach this package.
+
+This scaffolds the quickstart app into `./my-agent`, prints the next steps and exits. It never
+prompts. The directory must be new or empty. A fresh clone of an empty repository holds only `.git`,
+and it counts as empty: run `npx @open-everywhere/create .` inside it. The scaffold refuses a
+directory that holds anything else. The app depends on the eight `@open-everywhere/*` libraries at
+this CLI's own version — plus this package itself, as a dev dependency, for its `check` script — and
+on `eve` at the pin core declares; its `postinstall` applies the eve patch. Its roster mounts the launch surfaces: Slack, Notion and GitHub. The app carries `AGENTS.md`,
+a `.mcp.json` for the `open-everywhere-ops` MCP server and the `quickstart-open-everywhere` skill,
+so the agent you open it in can drive the setup.
+
+### The status report
+
+```sh
+npx @open-everywhere/create --check
+```
+
+`--check` prompts for nothing, changes nothing, sends no telemetry and never scaffolds. It reports
+each setup step with what is missing and the next command for it. Add `--json` for the same report
+as one JSON object, which is what an agent-driven setup reads. `--route docker` judges against the
+Docker route (the default is `vercel`), and `--host https://<host>` probes a deployment.
+
+Run it from inside an Open Everywhere app — a scaffolded one, or a clone of the repository. From a
+directory that is not an app, it reports an unsatisfied repo step and tells you to scaffold one.
+
+The same step list written out for a human is
+[Setup steps](https://github.com/open-everywhere/open-everywhere/blob/main/docs/deploy/setup-steps.md).
+That page is generated from the step list this command reports, so the two cannot drift.
+
+This CLI starts on Node 18 or newer. The app it scaffolds needs Node 24.

+#!/usr/bin/env node
+// Plain-JS bin shim — deliberately NOT TypeScript, so it can start under whatever
+// Node a user has BEFORE the prerequisites step has told them to upgrade. It re-execs
+// through this package's own `tsx` dependency against the real TS entry (src/cli.ts).
+// tsx is a real runtime dependency of THIS package, not a dev one, for exactly that
+// reason: the package ships its `src/**` sources raw and has no compiled `dist/` of
+// its own.
+//
+// THE PACKAGE IS `@open-everywhere/create`; THIS BIN IS `create-open-everywhere` (OPE-2234).
+// The two names differ on purpose. The package sits in the npm org's scope with the other eight,
+// and `npm create @open-everywhere` resolves it there. The bin keeps the command name a scaffolded
+// app's `check` script already runs. One bin is declared, so `npm exec` picks it either way.
+//
+// WHAT IT WRITES. With a `<dir>` argument it SCAFFOLDS, and that is the only write: it copies the
+// quickstart app (`template/`) into a new or empty `<dir>` (`src/scaffold.ts`) and prints the next
+// steps. With `--check` it only REPORTS on the current directory — every step is a pure `check()`,
+// so there are no prompts, no writes, no subprocesses and no telemetry. There is no wizard and no
+// resume state since OPE-2233: setup is agent-led, and the agent drives the `open-everywhere-ops`
