TanStack DB Playbook - skills for AI agents building with TanStack DB
npm install @tanstack/db-playbookA playbook of skills for AI agents building with TanStack DB.
A playbook is the collection of skills, patterns, and tools someone uses in a vibe-coding context — analogous to "stack" but for the less deliberate, more aesthetic-driven way people assemble their setup now.
This package provides structured documentation designed for AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) to help them build TanStack DB applications effectively.
Skills are distilled, task-focused patterns that agents can quickly consume and apply — unlike large documentation that often exceeds context limits.
``bash`
npm install @tanstack/db-playbook
