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

`create-chat-sdk`

scaffolds a complete [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) project with your chosen platform adapters, a state adapter, environment variables, and a webhook route.

The CLI walks you through selecting your [platform adapters](https://chat-sdk.dev/adapters#:~:text=Search%20adapters...-,Official,-Published%20under%20%40chat) (e.g., Slack and Discord) and a [state adapter](https://chat-sdk.dev/adapters#:~:text=your%20own%20adapter-,State%20Adapters,-Pluggable%20state%20adapters) (e.g., Redis), then installs the dependencies for you.

**Everything wired up: **`src/lib/bot.ts`

with `onNewMention`

and `onSubscribedMessage`

handlers, a populated `.env.example`

, and a pre-configured `next.config.ts`

.

**Pick your stack: **combine any of the official or vendor-official platform and state adapters into a single project. The CLI installs only what you select.

**Fully scriptable: **every prompt can be skipped with flags, so `create-chat-sdk`

works with your AI agents and in CI. Coding agents are automatically detected, so the CLI runs non-interactively when they scaffold your application.

For example, scaffold a Slack and Discord bot with Redis in one command:
