Creating a new [Chat SDK](https://chat-sdk.dev/) bot now takes a single command.

`create-chat-sdk`

scaffolds a complete Next.js project with your chosen platform adapters, a state adapter, environment variables, and a webhook route.

with onNewMention

and onSubscribedMessage

handlers, a populated .env.example

, and a pre-configured next.config.ts
