Bootstrap
Orchestrates the full setup sequence for Vercel-linked projects so you don't run migrations before your env vars exist or start the dev server before your database is ready. It walks through vercel link, integration provisioning for Neon/Upstash, env pull, AUTH_SECRET generation, then finally db:push and dev in the right order. Built for Next.js repos with auth libraries, Drizzle or Prisma, and Vercel Storage dependencies. The strict preflight checks and fallback paths (Vercel integration, dashboard, provider CLI) are honestly helpful when onboarding teammates or fixing a borked .env.local. Includes next-forge monorepo handling with per-app env files and the pnpm migrate command.

Project Bootstrap Orchestrator
Execute bootstrap in strict order. Do not run migrations or development server until project linking and environment verification are complete.
Rules
- Do not run
db:push,db:migrate,db:seed, ordevuntil Vercel linking is complete and env keys are verified. - Prefer Vercel-managed provisioning (
vercel integration ...) for shared resources. - Use provider CLIs only as fallback when Vercel integration flow is unavailable.
- Never echo secret values in terminal output, logs, or summaries.
Preflight
- Confirm Vercel CLI is installed and authenticated.
vercel --version
vercel whoami
- Confirm repo linkage by checking
.vercel/project.json. - If not linked, inspect available teams/projects before asking the user to choose:
vercel teams ls
vercel projects ls --scope <team>
vercel link --yes --scope <team> --project <project>
- Find the env template in priority order:
.env.example,.env.sample,.env.template. - Create local env file if missing:
cp .env.example .env.local
Resource Setup: Postgres
Prisma ORM projects
