Select a linter / formatter\n❯ Biome\n  Oxlint + Oxfmt\n  ESLint + Prettier\n  None\n\n? Select a preset\n❯ Recommended\n  Ultracite\n  Custom\n```\n\nThe available presets could depend on what the user selected.\n\nFor example, selecting Biome could show:\n\n```text\n? Select a Biome preset\n❯ Recommended\n  Ultracite\n  None\n```\n\nWhile selecting ESLint could show:\n\n```text\n? Select an ESLint setup\n❯ Recommended\n  Ultracite\n  None\n```\n\nThe selected setup should install the required dependencies and generate the appropriate configuration files and scripts.\n\n## Why\n\nThis would make popular linting and formatting setups much easier to choose when creating a new TanStack project.\n\nIt would also make setups like **Biome + Ultracite** or **Oxlint + Oxfmt** first class options instead of requiring users to configure them manually after creating the project.\n\nIdeally this could build on the existing add-on and options system so that new tools and presets can be added without hardcoding everything into the CLI.\n\n## Example use cases\n\n* Biome → recommended configuration\n* Biome → Ultracite\n* Biome → no preset\n* Oxlint + Oxfmt → recommended configuration\n* Oxlint + Oxfmt → Ultracite\n* Oxlint + Oxfmt → no preset\n* ESLint → recommended configuration\n* ESLint → Ultracite\n* ESLint → no preset\n* Prettier → standalone formatter\n* Oxfmt → standalone formatter","author":{"url":"https://github.com/itzzjustmateo","@type":"Person","name":"itzzjustmateo"},"datePublished":"2026-09-09T15:30:14Z","url":"https://github.com/TanStack/cli/issues/510"}
