BigStarter — Build in Public

Add your project

One command. Your project builds in public automatically.

Step 1 — Run in your project directory

$npx bigstarter init

Requires a GitHub token with repo scope. Generate one at github.com/settings/tokens

What happens automatically

  1. 1.Creates .kap/kap.json with your project metadata
  2. 2.Configures the BigStarter MCP plugin in Claude Code
  3. 3.Opens a PR on the BigStarter registry — your project appears on the platform
  4. 4.Installs a GitHub Action that auto-publishes updates on every commit, PR merge, or release — and triggers an immediate platform rebuild

Or manually — the protocol

  1. 1.Push .kap/kap.json with {"name":"…","pitch":"…","tags":[]}
  2. 2.Push updates as .kap/updates/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md
  3. 3.Open GitHub Issues labeled kap-signal to collect votes
  4. 4.Open a PR on BigFatDot/BigStarter to add yourself to registry.json — platform rebuilds immediately on merge

Free for open source. Your data stays in your GitHub repo.
