+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade

+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,

+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

-Pre-built collections for a marketing website:
-
-- **Pages** — with title, slug, richtext content, draft/publish versioning, and live preview
-- **Headers** — name, logo upload, sticky option
-- **Footers** — name, richtext content, copyright text
-- **Themes** — name, colors, font family
-- **Site Settings** — site name, description, favicon upload
+## Templates
 
-Also includes:
+### `base-nextjs`
 
-- Landing page with sign-in/sign-up flow
-- First-user auto-admin promotion
-- Admin panel onboarding tour (driver.js)
-- Preview routes at `/preview/[slug]` with live preview support
-- Public page routes at `/[slug]` (published pages only)
-- Draft-aware queries using `vexQuery`
+The foundation every scaffold starts from — used alone when `--bare` is passed:
 
-### Bare (`--bare`)
+- Better Auth wired through `@vexcms/better-auth`, with email/password and any selected OAuth
+  providers
+- Admin panel mounted at `/admin` via `@vexcms/next`
+- Media collection backed by `@vexcms/file-storage-convex`
+- Users collection merged from the auth adapter
+- First-admin bootstrap: the first account created anywhere in the project is auto-promoted to
+  admin (`convex/vex/firstUser.ts`); until then, the home route renders a `WelcomePage` prompting
+  sign-up instead of a `404`
+- No pages, blocks, themes, or site content — `vex.config.ts` ships an empty `collections: []`
+  overlay slot
 
-Empty VEX CMS project with:
+### `marketing-site` (default)
 
-- Authentication setup (Better Auth + Convex adapter)
-- Admin panel wired at `/admin`
-- Empty `collections: []` in `vex.config.ts`
-- No onboarding tour
+An overlay applied over `base-nextjs` with file-level overwrite, adding a complete marketing
+site:
 
-## Getting Started
+- Collections: `pages`, `headers`, `footers`, `themes` (with a `themeColors` sub-shape)
+- Global: `siteSettings` (active theme, admin theme, site name)
+- 8 content blocks (`blocks/<Name>/{config.ts,index.tsx}`) rendered anywhere via `RenderBlocks`
+  from `@vexcms/react` — no hand-rolled block-type switch
+- Theme system: database-driven CSS custom properties (`ThemeStyle` for first paint,
+  `ThemeLive` for live updates), seeded with four starter palettes
+- `convex/seed.ts` — an idempotent `init` mutation seeding site settings, a header, a footer, the
+  starter palettes, and a complete home page from the blocks' own defaults (`pnpm seed`)
 
-After scaffolding your project:
+## Getting started
 
-### 1. Install dependencies
+After scaffolding:
 
 ```bash
 cd my-project
-pnpm install
+pnpm install            # skip if you answered "yes" to install during scaffolding
 ```
 
-### 2. Generate a Better Auth secret
+### 1. Stand up your Convex deployment
 
 ```bash
-pnpm secret:create
+npx convex dev
 ```
 
-This generates a random 32-character string and copies it to your clipboard.
+First run only — links or creates a Convex project and prints your real
+`NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_SITE_URL`. Paste them into `.env.local`,
+replacing the generated placeholder values so the app stops pointing at
+`https://placeholder.convex.cloud`. Leave `Ctrl-C` once it reports functions are ready.
 
-### 3. Configure environment variables
+### 2. Configure environment variables
 
-The CLI creates a `.env.local` file with `NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL` set to your chosen port. Add the auth secret:
+The installer writes `.env.local` with a generated `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET`,
+`NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL`, and `SITE_URL` already filled in — only the two Convex URLs above need
+replacing for local dev. In the [Convex Dashboard](https://dashboard.convex.dev), add
+`BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` and `SITE_URL` under **Settings → Environment Variables** using the same
+values so server-side auth checks and email links resolve correctly.
 
-```env
-# .env.local (auto-generated)
-NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL=http://localhost:3010
-
-# Add manually:
-BETTER_AUTH_SECRET=your-generated-secret-here
-```
-
-### 4. Start VEX dev server
+### 3. Run the dev servers
 
 ```bash
-pnpm vex:dev
+pnpm dev        # Next.js + convex dev + the vex config watcher, together
 ```
 
-This starts the VEX CLI watcher (generates schema, types, and queries) and the Convex dev server. On first run, it will prompt you to create or select a Convex project.
+### 4. Create your admin account
 
-### 5. Add environment variables to Convex
+Open `http://localhost:3010` (or your chosen port) and sign up. The first account created is
+automatically promoted to admin and redirected into `/admin`.
 
-In the [Convex Dashboard](https://dashboard.convex.dev), navigate to your project's **Settings > Environment Variables** and add:
+### Available scripts
 
-- `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` — the same secret from step 2
-- `SITE_URL` — `http://localhost:3010` (or your chosen port)

+| `pnpm seed` | Run the marketing-site seed mutation (marketing-site only) |
+| `pnpm secret:create` | Generate a random 32-character secret and copy it to the clipboard |
 
-### 6. Start the Next.js dev server
+## Monorepo mode (`--monorepo`)
 
-In a separate terminal:
+Run from inside an existing pnpm workspace to scaffold a new app under it instead of a
+standalone project:
 
 ```bash
-pnpm dev
+pnpm create vexcms@latest my-app --monorepo --yes
 ```
 
-### 7. Create your admin account
-
-Open `http://localhost:3010` in your browser. Click **"Create Admin Account"** to sign up. The first user is automatically promoted to admin and redirected to the admin panel.
-
-### Available Scripts
-
-| Script | Description |
-|--------|-------------|
-| `pnpm dev` | Start Next.js development server |
-| `pnpm vex:dev` | Start VEX CLI watcher + Convex dev server |
-| `pnpm vex:generate` | One-shot schema/type/query generation |
-| `pnpm vex:update` | Update all `@vexcms/*` packages to latest |
-| `pnpm secret:create` | Generate a random 32-character secret and copy to clipboard |
-| `pnpm build` | Production build |
+The installer walks up from the current directory for the nearest `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, targets
+`apps/my-app`, rewrites every `@vexcms/*` dependency to `workspace:*` and any dependency also
+present in the host workspace's catalog to `catalog:` (other dependencies keep literal
+versions), and skips both `git init` and dependency install — the root workspace owns them.
 
 ## Versioning
 
-`create-vexcms` is versioned alongside all `@vexcms/*` packages. Running `pnpm create vexcms@latest` always scaffolds with the latest package versions. You can also pin a specific version:
