+# create-ojs-app
+
+CLI tool to scaffold new OpenScript projects.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+npx create-ojs-app <project-name> [template]
+```
+
+## Available Templates
+
+| Template    | Description                                  |
+| ----------- | -------------------------------------------- |
+| `basic`     | Basic OpenScript project with Vite (default) |
+| `tailwind`  | Project with TailwindCSS integration         |
+| `bootstrap` | Project with Bootstrap 5 integration         |
+
+## Examples
+
+```bash
+# Create a basic project
+npx create-ojs-app my-app
+
+# Create a project with TailwindCSS
+npx create-ojs-app my-app tailwind
+
+# Create a project with Bootstrap
+npx create-ojs-app my-app bootstrap
+```
+
+## What's Included
+
+Each scaffolded project includes:
+
+- 📦 Vite for fast development and building
+- 🎯 Pre-configured OpenScript setup with Vite plugin
+- 🛣️ Router with example routes
+- 🧩 Example components (App, HomePage, AboutUs, Counter)
+- 📝 Context management setup
+- 📡 Event broker with mediators
+
+## ⚠️ Important: Vite Plugin Required!
+
+**The OpenScript Vite plugin is REQUIRED for your application to work.** All templates come pre-configured with the plugin in `vite.config.js`:
+
+```javascript
+import { defineConfig } from "vite";
+import { openScriptComponentPlugin } from "modular-openscriptjs/plugin";
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  // ...
+  plugins: [
+    openScriptComponentPlugin({
+      componentsDir: "src/components",
+      autoRegister: true,
+      generateTypes: true,
+    }),
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+**Do NOT remove this plugin** - it handles component registration, type generation, and other essential build-time transformations.
