TanStack/cli is the official command-line tool for creating and managing TanStack Start and TanStack Router applications. It is for scaffolding full-stack or single-page projects and adding integrations such as authentication, databases, deployment, and monitoring. The catalogue entries provide add-ons and guidance for working with the CLI.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 10 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00049 | $0.00644 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00258 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00129 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00064 |
Grade A, and why
query-docs-library-metadata scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Query Docs And Library Metadata
Use this skill to collect authoritative context before code generation or integration selection.
Setup
npx @tanstack/cli libraries --json
Core Patterns
Resolve valid library ids before doc fetch
npx @tanstack/cli libraries --json
Fetch a specific docs page with explicit version
# Syntax: tanstack doc <library-id> <path> [--docs-version <version>]
npx @tanstack/cli doc router framework/react/guide/routing
npx @tanstack/cli doc router framework/react/guide/routing --docs-version latest
Search docs for implementation targets
npx @tanstack/cli search-docs "server functions" --library start --json
Common Mistakes
HIGH Use invalid library id/version/path for doc fetch
Wrong:
# Wrong: --library and --version are not flags on doc; path must not include /docs/ prefix
npx @tanstack/cli doc --library router --version latest --path /docs/framework/react/guide/routing
Correct:
# Step 1: resolve a valid library id
npx @tanstack/cli libraries --json
# Step 2: fetch using positional args — library id then doc path (no /docs/ prefix)
npx @tanstack/cli doc router framework/react/guide/routing
doc takes <library> and <path> as positional arguments (not flags), and the path must not include a leading /docs/ segment. Use --docs-version (not --version) to pin a specific version.
Source: packages/cli/src/cli.ts:746
MEDIUM Rely on deprecated create alias for discovery
Wrong:
npx create-tsrouter-app --list-add-ons
Correct:
npx @tanstack/cli create --list-add-ons --json
Legacy alias workflows can produce confusing outputs that do not match current CLI discovery behavior. Fixed in newer versions, but agents trained on older examples may still generate this pattern.

HIGH Tension: Single-command convenience vs integration precision
This domain's patterns conflict with create-app-scaffold and choose-ecosystem-integrations. Skipping discovery to run one-shot scaffold commands tends to lock in plausible defaults that miss architecture constraints.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
- 1mo ago First seen · 92 lines · 49 tokens per session scan A b327a87af580
query-docs-library-metadata is a skill published in the GitHub repository TanStack/cli (1,304 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 644 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

book-mirror
Take any book (EPUB/PDF), produce a personalized chapter-by-chapter analysis. Each chapter is preserved in detail (The Chapter) and mirrored back to the reader's actual life (The Mirror) using brain context. The mirror observes and resonates — a friend pointing out parallels, NOT a consultant rearranging the reader's…
lean-formalize
Develop and verify a mathematical proof in Lean, continue an incomplete Lean project, or audit whether it proves the original statement. Connect actual inputs to intermediate lemmas, assemble the target theorem, check its transitive axioms, and provide a reproducible handoff. Use when Lean is requested or a specific…
exam-forecast
Analyze past exams from the same professor to surface patterns — subject weighting, recurring issue-spot traps, favored hypo types, policy-vs-doctrine mix — and forecast likely emphases for the upcoming exam. Use when the user says "what's on the exam", "analyze past exams", "predict the exam", or shares past exams.
eli5
Explain research, papers, or technical ideas in plain English with minimal jargon, concrete analogies, and clear takeaways. Use when the user says "ELI5 this", asks for a simple explanation of a paper or research result, wants jargon removed, or asks what something technically dense actually means.
