+> vp gen --help # show help
+Usage: vite gen [TEMPLATE] [OPTIONS] [-- TEMPLATE_OPTIONS]
+
+Run any template (builtin, remote, or local) with automatic vite+ integration.
+
+Arguments:
+  TEMPLATE                   Template name (optional; you will be prompted if omitted)
+                            - Built-in: vite:monorepo, vite:application, vite:library, vite:generator
+                            - Remote: create-vite, @tanstack/create-start, create-next-app, create-nuxt,
+                                      github:user/repo, https://github.com/user/template-repo
+                            - Local: @company/generator-*, ./tools/create-ui-component
+
+Options (before --):
+  --directory DIR           Target directory for the generated project.
+                            Only works for built-in templates; auto-detected for remote templates.
+  --no-interactive          Run in non-interactive mode (skip prompts and use defaults)
+  --list                    List all available templates
+  -h, --help                Show this help message
+
+Template options (after --):
+  All arguments after -- are passed directly through to the template command.
+
+Examples:
+  # Interactive mode - choose template via prompt
+  vite gen
+
+  # Run any existing template (npx / pnpm dlx / yarn dlx / bunx auto-detected)
+  vite gen create-vite
+  vite gen create-next-app
+  vite gen @tanstack/create-start
+
+  # With template-specific options (after --)
+  vite gen create-vite -- --template react-ts
+  vite gen create-next-app -- --typescript --app
+
+  # Create vite+ monorepo, application, library, or generator scaffolds
+  vite gen vite:monorepo
+  vite gen vite:application
+  vite gen vite:library
+  vite gen vite:generator
+
+  # Monorepo: specify target directory
+  vite gen vite:application --directory=packages/my-app
+
+  # Combine gen command options and template options
+  vite gen vite:application --directory=apps/my-app -- --template vue-ts
+
+  # Run templates from GitHub (via degit)
+  vite gen github:user/repo
+  vite gen https://github.com/user/template-repo
+
+Note: Templates are executed via npx / pnpm dlx / yarn dlx / bunx,
+      based on the detected package manager.
+      No global installation required - always uses the latest version.
+
+Aliases: g, generate, new
+

+Usage: vite gen [TEMPLATE] [OPTIONS] [-- TEMPLATE_OPTIONS]
+
+Run any template (builtin, remote, or local) with automatic vite+ integration.
+
+Arguments:
+  TEMPLATE                   Template name (optional; you will be prompted if omitted)
+                            - Built-in: vite:monorepo, vite:application, vite:library, vite:generator
+                            - Remote: create-vite, @tanstack/create-start, create-next-app, create-nuxt,
+                                      github:user/repo, https://github.com/user/template-repo
+                            - Local: @company/generator-*, ./tools/create-ui-component
+
+Options (before --):
+  --directory DIR           Target directory for the generated project.
+                            Only works for built-in templates; auto-detected for remote templates.
+  --no-interactive          Run in non-interactive mode (skip prompts and use defaults)
+  --list                    List all available templates
+  -h, --help                Show this help message
+
+Template options (after --):
+  All arguments after -- are passed directly through to the template command.
+
+Examples:
+  ${gray('# Interactive mode - choose template via prompt')}
+  vite gen
+
+  ${gray('# Run any existing template (npx / pnpm dlx / yarn dlx / bunx auto-detected)')}
+  vite gen create-vite
+  vite gen create-next-app
+  vite gen @tanstack/create-start
+
+  ${gray('# With template-specific options (after --)')}
+  vite gen create-vite -- --template react-ts
+  vite gen create-next-app -- --typescript --app
+
+  ${gray('# Create vite+ monorepo, application, library, or generator scaffolds')}
+  vite gen vite:monorepo
+  vite gen vite:application
+  vite gen vite:library
+  vite gen vite:generator
+
+  ${gray('# Monorepo: specify target directory')}
+  vite gen vite:application --directory=packages/my-app
+
+  ${gray('# Combine gen command options and template options')}
+  vite gen vite:application --directory=apps/my-app -- --template vue-ts
+
+  ${gray('# Run templates from GitHub (via degit)')}
+  vite gen github:user/repo
+  vite gen https://github.com/user/template-repo
+
+Note: Templates are executed via npx / pnpm dlx / yarn dlx / bunx,
+      based on the detected package manager.
+      No global installation required - always uses the latest version.

+# Vite+ Code Generator Starter
+
+A starter for creating a Vite+ code generator.
+
+## Usage
+
+From monorepo root:
+
+```bash
+# run and select the generator
+vite gen
+```
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+# Edit the template
+code src/template.ts
+
+# Test the generator CLI
+vite run dev
+
+# Run tests
+vite run test
+```
+
+## Customization
+
+Edit `src/template.ts` to customize:
+
+- Options schema (using Zod)
+- File generation logic
+- Scripts and suggestions
+
+More information about the [Bingo Templates](https://create.bingo/) can be found [here](https://create.bingo/build/concepts/creations).

+# RFC: Vite+ Code Generator
+
+## Background
+
+Reference:
+
+- [Nx Code Generation](https://nx.dev/docs/features/generate-code)
+- [Turborepo Code Generation](https://turborepo.com/docs/guides/generating-code)
+- [Bingo Framework](https://www.create.bingo/about)
+
+The code generator function is an essential feature for a company's continuously iterated monorepo. Without it, creating a new project can only be done by manually copying and pasting and then modifying the files to make them usable, which likely leads to missing changes.
+
+## Comparison of Existing Solutions

+## Why Bingo's Approach?
+
+Bingo offers several advantages:
+
+1. **Type Safety**: Uses Zod schemas with TypeScript for compile-time validation
+2. **Modern Architecture**: Built from the ground up with modern JavaScript/TypeScript
+3. **Flexible**: Supports simple templates to complex block-based systems
+4. **Extensible**: Can execute network requests and shell scripts beyond file generation
+5. **Two Modes**: Setup (create new) and Transition (update existing) modes
+6. **Testable**: Built-in testing utilities for template development
+7. **Existing Ecosystem**: Can directly run existing bingo templates from npm
+
+## Integration Strategy: Dual-Mode Support
+
+**Key Decision**: `vite gen` supports BOTH bingo templates AND any existing `create-*` template through intelligent migration:
+
+### Two Ways to Write Generators
+
+**Option 1: Bingo Templates (Recommended for Custom Generators)**
+
+Best for creating **reusable local generators** within your monorepo:
+
+```bash
+# Run workspace-local bingo generator
+vite gen @company/generator-ui-lib
+
+# Or any bingo template from npm
+vite gen create-typescript-app
+```
+
+**Why use bingo**:
+
+- ✅ **Easier to write**: Type-safe with Zod schemas
+- ✅ **Better DX**: Full control over file generation
+- ✅ **Testable**: Built-in testing utilities
+- ✅ **Quick start**: Use `@vite-plus/create-generator` to scaffold a generator
+- ✅ **Perfect for**: Company-specific patterns and standards
+
+**Option 2: Universal Templates (Any create-\* package)**
+
+Run **ANY** existing `create-*` template from the ecosystem:
+
+```bash
+# Run any existing template
+vite gen create-vite
+vite gen create-next-app
+vite gen create-nuxt
+```
+
+**Why use universal templates**:
+
+- ✅ **No work required**: Use existing templates as-is
+- ✅ **Zero learning curve**: Use familiar templates
+- ✅ **Huge ecosystem**: Thousands of templates available
+- ✅ **No maintenance**: Template authors maintain them
+
+### Auto-Migration for ALL Templates
+
+**Important**: Regardless of whether you use bingo or universal templates, **all generated code goes through the same auto-detect and migrate logic**:
+
+```
+ANY template (bingo or universal)
+  ↓
+Template generates code
+  ↓
+vite+ auto-detects vite-related tools:
+  • Standalone vite, vitest, oxlint, oxfmt
+  ↓
+Auto-migrate to unified vite-plus:
+  • Dependencies: vite + vitest + oxlint + oxfmt → vite-plus
+  • Configs: Merge vitest.config.ts, .oxlintrc, .oxfmtrc → vite.config.ts
+  ↓
+Monorepo integration:
+  • Prompt for workspace dependencies
+  • Update workspace config (pnpm-workspace.yaml, package.json, etc.)
+```
+
+**Scope of Auto-Migration**:
+
+- ✅ Consolidate vite/vitest/oxlint/oxfmt dependencies → vite-plus
+- ✅ Merge tool configurations into vite.config.ts
+- ❌ Does NOT migrate ESLint → oxlint (if template uses ESLint, it stays)
+- ❌ Does NOT create vite-task.json (optional, separate feature)
+- ❌ Does NOT change TypeScript config (remains as generated)
+
+**Bingo templates get the same migration treatment** - the difference is just that bingo makes it easier to write generators with type safety and testing.

+
+## Monorepo-Specific Enhancements
+
+After any template runs, vite+ adds monorepo-specific features:
+
+### 1. Auto-Migration to vite-plus Unified Toolchain (for ALL templates)
+
+**After any template runs** (bingo or universal), vite+ automatically detects standalone vite-related tools and offers to consolidate them into the unified vite-plus dependency.
+
+**Purpose**: Simplify dependency management by consolidating vite, vitest, oxlint, and oxfmt into a single vite-plus package.
+
+```bash
+$ vite gen create-vite --template react-ts
+
+# create-vite runs normally...
+✔ Project name: › my-app
+✔ Select a framework: › React
+✔ Select a variant: › TypeScript
+
+Scaffolding project in ./packages/my-app...
+
+# After template completes, vite+ detects standalone tools
+◇  Template completed! Detecting vite-related tools...
+│
+◆  Detected standalone vite tools:
+│  ✓ vite ^5.0.0
+│  ✓ vitest ^1.0.0
+│
+◆  Upgrade to vite-plus unified toolchain?
+│
+│  This will:
+│  • Replace vite + vitest dependencies → single vite-plus dependency
+│  • Merge vitest.config.ts → vite.config.ts (test section)
+│  • Remove vitest.config.ts
+│
+│  Benefits:
+│  • Simplified dependency management (1 instead of 2+ dependencies)
+│  • Unified configuration in vite.config.ts
+│  • Better integration with vite+ task runner and caching
+│
+│  ● Yes / ○ No
+│
+◇  Migrating to vite-plus...
+│  ✓ Updated package.json (vite + vitest → vite-plus)
+│  ✓ Merged vitest.config.ts → vite.config.ts
+│  ✓ Removed vitest.config.ts
+│
+└  Migration completed!
+```
+
+**Scope of Auto-Migration**:
+
+This is a **dependency consolidation** feature, not a tool replacement feature.
+
+✅ **What it does**:
+
+- Consolidate standalone vite/vitest/oxlint/oxfmt dependencies → single vite-plus dependency
+- Merge vitest.config.ts → vite.config.ts (test section)
+- Merge .oxlintrc → vite.config.ts (oxlint section)
+- Merge .oxfmtrc → vite.config.ts (oxfmt section)
+- Remove redundant standalone config files
+
+❌ **What it does NOT do**:
+
+- Does NOT migrate ESLint → oxlint (different tools, not consolidation)
+- Does NOT migrate Prettier → oxfmt (different tools, not consolidation)
+- Does NOT create vite-task.json (separate feature, not required)
+- Does NOT change TypeScript configuration (remains as generated)
+- Does NOT modify build tools (webpack/rollup → vite)
+
+**Why this design**:
+
+- Templates that use vite/vitest/oxlint/oxfmt can be simplified to use vite-plus
+- Templates that use other tools (ESLint, Prettier, Jest) remain unchanged
+- Users keep their chosen tools, just with optimized vite-related dependencies
+
+**Migration Engine powered by [ast-grep](https://ast-grep.github.io/)**:
+
+- Structural search and replace for accurate code transformation
+- YAML-based rules for easy maintenance
+- Safe, reversible transformations
+- **Note**: Uses the same migration engine as `vite migration` command (see [migration-command.md](./migration-command.md))
+
+### 2. Target Directory Selection (Monorepo)
+
+When running `vite gen` in a monorepo workspace, vite+ prompts users to select which parent directory to create the new package in:
+
+```bash
+$ vite gen create-vite
+
+◆  Where should we create the new package?
+│  ○ apps/        (Applications)
+│  ● packages/    (Shared packages)
+│  ○ services/    (Backend services)
+│  ○ tools/       (Development tools)
+│
+◇  Selected: packages/
+│
+# Template runs...
+✔ Project name: › my-lib
+```
+
+**How it works**:
+
+- Detects package manager from lock files (pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, bun.lockb)
+- Reads workspace configuration:
+  - **pnpm**: Read `pnpm-workspace.yaml` → `packages` field
+  - **npm/yarn**: Read root `package.json` → `workspaces` field
+  - **bun**: Read root `package.json` → `workspaces` field
+- Extracts parent directories from patterns (e.g., `apps/*`, `packages/*`)
+- Prompts user to select one
+- Passes the selected directory to the template (if template supports directory options)
+- Or changes working directory before running template
+
+**Benefits**:
+
+- Clear organization in monorepo
+- Users don't need to remember directory structure
+- Consistent with workspace organization
+- Can be skipped with `--directory` flag: `vite gen create-vite --directory=packages`
+
+### 3. Workspace Dependency Prompts
+
+Inspired by [Turbo's generator](https://turborepo.com/docs/guides/generating-code), vite+ prompts users to select existing workspace packages as dependencies:
+
+```bash
+$ vite gen @company/generator-ui-lib --name=design-system
+
+◇ Library name: design-system
+◇ Framework: React
+◇ Include Storybook? Yes
+
+◆ Add workspace packages as dependencies?
+│  ◼ @company/theme
+│  ◼ @company/utils
+│  ◻ @company/icons
+│  ◻ @company/hooks
+└
+
+✅ Created design-system with dependencies:
+   - @company/theme@workspace:*
+   - @company/utils@workspace:*
+```
+
+This feature:
+
+- **Auto-discovers** all packages in the workspace
+- **Interactive selection** with multi-select checkbox UI
+- **Smart defaults** based on package type or naming conventions
+- **Proper version ranges** using `workspace:*` protocol
+- **Updates package.json** automatically after generation
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### 1. Templates
+
+A template describes how to initialize or modify a repository given a set of options.
+
+```typescript
+import { createTemplate } from 'bingo';
+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+export default createTemplate({
+  // Define options using Zod schemas for type safety
+  options: {
+    name: z.string().describe('Package name'),
+    directory: z.enum(['apps', 'packages']).default('packages'),
+    framework: z.enum(['react', 'vue', 'svelte']).default('react'),
+  },
+
+  // Optional: Prepare default values
+  async prepare({ fs, options }) {
+    return {
+      name: options.name || await fs.readdir('.').then(d => d[0]),
+    };
+  },
+
+  // Core production function
+  async produce({ options }) {
+    const projectPath = `${options.directory}/${options.name}`;
+
+    return {
+      files: {
+        [`${projectPath}/package.json`]: JSON.stringify(
+          {
+            name: options.name,
+            version: '0.0.1',
+            dependencies: {
+              [options.framework]: 'latest',
+            },
+          },
+          null,
+          2,
+        ),
+        [`${projectPath}/src/index.ts`]: `export const app = '${options.name}';`,
+      },
+      scripts: [
+        { phase: 0, commands: [`cd ${projectPath}`, 'vite install'] },
+        { phase: 1, commands: ['vite build'] },
+      ],
+      suggestions: [
+        `✅ Created ${options.name} in ${projectPath}`,
+        `Next: cd ${projectPath} && vite dev`,
+      ],
+    };
+  },
+
+  // Setup mode: additional logic for new repositories
+  async setup({ options }) {
+    return {
+      requests: [
+        {
+          url: 'https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/labels',
+          method: 'POST',
+          body: { name: 'vite-plus', color: 'ff6b6b' },
+        },
+      ],
+    };
+  },
+
+  // Transition mode: logic for updating existing repositories
+  async transition({ options }) {
+    return {
+      scripts: [
+        {
+          phase: 0,
+          commands: ['rm -rf old-config'],
+          silent: true, // Don't error if file doesn't exist
+        },
+      ],
+    };
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### 2. Creations
+
+A Creation is an in-memory representation of repository changes that templates produce.
+
+**Structure:**
+
+```typescript
+interface Creation {
+  // Direct changes (always applied)
+  files?: Files; // Hierarchical file structure
+  requests?: Request[]; // Network API calls
+  scripts?: Script[]; // Shell commands
+
+  // Indirect guidance
+  suggestions?: string[]; // Tips for manual steps
+}
+```
+
+**Files Format:**
+
+```typescript
+// Strings become files, objects become directories
+const files = {
+  'README.md': '# My App',
+  'src': {
+    'index.ts': 'export {}',
+    'utils': {
+      'helpers.ts': 'export const helper = () => {}',
+    },
+  },
+};
+```
+
+**Scripts with Phases:**
+
+```typescript
+const scripts = [
+  // Phase 0: runs first
+  { phase: 0, commands: ['vite install'] },
+  { phase: 0, commands: ['git init'] },
+
+  // Phase 1: runs after phase 0 completes
+  { phase: 1, commands: ['vite build'] },
+  { phase: 1, commands: ['vite format'] },
+];
+```
+
+### 3. Modes
+
+Templates operate in two modes:
+
+**Setup Mode**: Creates a brand new repository
+
+- Runs `setup()` function for additional creations
+- Creates GitHub repository (if configured)
+- Initializes git with initial commit
+
+**Transition Mode**: Updates an existing repository
+
+- Runs `transition()` function for migration logic
+- Optionally cleans up old files
+- Preserves existing git history
+
+The CLI automatically infers the correct mode based on whether running in an existing repo.
+
+### 4. Blocks and Presets
+
+For complex templates with many configurable features, use the Stratum engine:
+
+```typescript
+import { createStratumTemplate } from 'bingo-stratum';
+
+export default createStratumTemplate({
+  // Define blocks (individual features)
+  blocks: {
+    linting: createBlock({
+      about: { name: 'ESLint Configuration' },
+      produce: ({ options }) => ({
+        files: {
+          '.eslintrc.json': JSON.stringify({ extends: ['eslint:recommended'] }),
+        },
+      }),
+    }),
+
+    testing: createBlock({
+      about: { name: 'Vitest Setup' },
+      produce: ({ options }) => ({
+        files: {
+          'vitest.config.ts': 'export default {}',
+        },
+      }),
+    }),
+  },
+
+  // Define presets (block combinations)
+  presets: {
+    minimal: { blocks: [] },
+    common: { blocks: ['linting'] },
+    everything: { blocks: ['linting', 'testing'] },
+  },
+
+  // Suggested default
+  suggested: 'common',
+});
+```
+
+### 5. Inputs
+
+Inputs are composable units for data retrieval and processing:
+
+```typescript
+import { createInput } from 'bingo';
+
+const readPackageJson = createInput({
+  async produce({ fs }) {
+    const content = await fs.readFile('package.json', 'utf-8');
+    return JSON.parse(content);
+  },
+});
+
+const detectFramework = createInput({
+  async produce({ take }) {
+    const pkg = await take(readPackageJson);
+
+    if (pkg.dependencies?.react) return 'react';
+    if (pkg.dependencies?.vue) return 'vue';
+    if (pkg.dependencies?.svelte) return 'svelte';
+
+    return 'vanilla';
+  },
+});
+```
+
+## Interactive Mode
+
+When running `vite gen` without specifying a template, users enter interactive mode with a beautiful template selection interface.
+
+### Template Selection Menu
+
+Interactive mode presents a curated list of known templates:
+
+```bash
+$ vite gen
+
+┌  🎨 Vite+ Code Generator
+│
+◆  Which template would you like to use?
+│  ○ Vite+ Monorepo (Create a new vite+ monorepo project)
+│  ○ Vite+ Generator (Scaffold a new code generator)
+│  ○ Vite (Create vite applications and libraries)
+│  ○ TanStack Start (Create TanStack applications and libraries)
+│  ● Other (Enter a custom template package name)
+└
+```
+
+### Known Templates with Auto-Configuration
+
+Interactive mode includes pre-configured templates with automatic argument injection:
+
+| Template Option     | Built-in Alias           | Description                                |
+| ------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
+| **Vite+ Monorepo**  | `vite:monorepo`          | Create a new vite+ monorepo project        |
+| **Vite+ Generator** | `vite:generator`         | Scaffold a new code generator              |
+| **Vite**            | `create-vite`            | Create vite applications and libraries     |
+| **TanStack Start**  | `@tanstack/create-start` | Create TanStack applications and libraries |
+| **Other**           | _(user input)_           | Custom template package name               |
+
+### Custom Template Input
+
+When selecting "Other", users can input any npm template:
+
+```bash
+◆  Which template would you like to use?
+│  ● Other (Enter a custom template package name)
+│
+◇  Enter the template package name:
+│  create-next-app
+│
+◇  Discovering template: create-next-app
+...
+```
+
+### Benefits
+
+- **Discoverability**: Users can explore available templates without documentation
+- **Ease of Use**: No need to remember exact template names or arguments
+- **Guided Experience**: Clear hints help users choose the right template
+- **Flexibility**: "Other" option allows any npm template
+- **Consistency**: Same post-processing (migration, monorepo integration) applies to all
+

+
+## @vite-plus/create-generator Scaffold
+
+To make it easier for users to create custom generators, we provide `@vite-plus/create-generator` - a bingo template that scaffolds a complete generator package.
+
+### What It Generates
+
+```
+tools/generators/{generator-name}/
+├── package.json              # Pre-configured with bingo, zod, bin entry
+├── bin/
+│   └── index.js              # CLI entrypoint
+├── src/
+│   ├── template.ts           # Main template with example code
+│   └── template.test.ts      # Test examples using bingo/testers

+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+export default createTemplate({
+  about: {
+    name: '{Generator Name}',
+    description: '{Description}',
+  },
+
+  // TODO: Define your options using Zod schemas
+  options: {
+    name: z.string().describe('Package name'),
+    // Add more options as needed
+  },
+
+  // TODO: Customize the file generation logic
+  async produce({ options }) {
+    return {
+      files: {
+        // Define files to generate
+        [`{output-path}/package.json`]: JSON.stringify(
+          {
+            name: options.name,
+            version: '0.1.0',
+          },
+          null,
+          2,
+        ),
+      },
+      scripts: [
+        // Optional: Add scripts to run after generation
+      ],
+      suggestions: [
+        // Optional: Add suggestions for users
+        `✅ Created ${options.name}`,
+      ],
+    };
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+```bash

+
+## Technical Implementation Details
+
+### Detecting Generated Project Directory
+
+**Challenge**: After running a template command, we need to know which directory was created to apply migrations.
+
+**Solution**: Use `fspy` (a Rust file system monitoring crate) to monitor file operations during template execution, then derive the project directory from file paths.
+
+#### What fspy Achieves
+
+**Core Functionality**:
+
+- Monitor specific file operations (read/write of package.json) in real-time during template execution
+- Capture paths when package.json is written or read
+- Provide event stream of package.json operations
+- Efficient event-based watching without polling
+
+**How vite+ Uses It**:
+
+1. Start fspy watcher to monitor package.json operations before executing template
+2. Execute template (template creates package.json in new project)
+3. Capture package.json write/create path (e.g., `packages/my-app/package.json`)
+4. Stop watcher when template completes
+5. **Derive project directory** from package.json path (e.g., from `packages/my-app/package.json` → extract `packages/my-app`)
+6. Use detected directory for subsequent migrations and workspace integration
+
+**Deduction Logic**:
+
+- Monitor for package.json file write/create operations
+- When package.json is written, capture its full path
+- Extract parent directory from the path (everything before `/package.json`)
+- This is the project directory
+
+**Example**:
+
+```
+Captured file operation:
+- packages/my-app/package.json      ← write
+
+Derived project directory: packages/my-app
+```
+
+**Benefits of Using fspy**:
+
+- ✅ Real-time detection during template execution
+- ✅ Accurate - every template creates package.json
+- ✅ Efficient - only monitors package.json, not all files
+- ✅ Simple - package.json path directly reveals project directory
+- ✅ Works for all templates regardless of output format
+- ✅ Rust-based performance
+
+**Why This is Necessary**:
+
+After detecting the project directory, we can:
+
+1. **Apply migrations** in the correct location
+2. **Update package.json** in the right project
+3. **Register path** in workspace configuration (pnpm-workspace.yaml or package.json)
+4. **Display next steps** with correct `cd` command

+
+**Key Dependencies**:
+
+- `fspy` - File system monitoring for detecting created directories
+- `@ast-grep/napi` - AST-based code transformation
+- `@clack/prompts` - Beautiful CLI prompts
+- `commander` - CLI argument parsing
+- `yaml` - Parse pnpm-workspace.yaml
+- `minimatch` or `micromatch` - Glob pattern matching for workspace patterns
+
+### Template Discovery
+
+Templates can be located in multiple places:
+
+1. **Built-in scaffolds**: `@vite-plus/create-generator` - Scaffold for creating new generators
+2. **Workspace packages**: Generators within the monorepo (e.g., `@company/generator-api`, `tools/create-microservice`)
+3. **npm packages**: Any template from npm - bingo templates, create-* templates, etc.
+4. **Built-in vite+**: Optional monorepo-specific generators (e.g., `vite:application`)
+
+**Resolution Order:**
+
+```
+1. Check if name is "@vite-plus/create-generator" → generator scaffold
+2. Check if name starts with "vite:" → built-in vite+ generator
+3. Check workspace packages for matching name → workspace-local generator
+4. Check node_modules/{name}/package.json → installed template (any type)
+5. Check if it's an npm package name → offer to install from registry
+6. Error: template not found
+```
+
+**Template Type Detection**:
+
+- **Bingo template**: Has `bingo` dependency or `bingo-template` keyword
+- **Universal template**: Has `bin` entry in package.json
+- Both types are executed the same way and get the same post-processing
+
+**Example Workspace Structure:**
+
+```
+monorepo/
+├── apps/                  # Applications (user can select)
+│   └── web-app/
+├── packages/              # Shared packages (user can select)
+│   └── shared-lib/
+├── services/              # Backend services (user can select)
+├── tools/                 # Development tools (user can select)
+│   └── generators/
+│       ├── ui-lib/             # @company/generator-ui-lib
+│       └── react-component/    # @company/generator-component
+├── pnpm-workspace.yaml    # For pnpm
+├── pnpm-lock.yaml         # Indicates pnpm usage
+└── package.json           # Root package.json (workspaces field for npm/yarn/bun)
+```
+
+**Workspace Configuration Examples:**
+
+**For pnpm (pnpm-workspace.yaml):**
+
+```yaml
+packages:
+  - 'apps/*'
+  - 'packages/*'
+  - 'services/*'
+  - 'tools/*'
+```
+
+**For npm/yarn/bun (package.json):**
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "my-monorepo",
+  "private": true,
+  "workspaces": [
+    "apps/*",
+    "packages/*",
+    "services/*",
+    "tools/*"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Detection Logic:**
+
+1. Check for lock files to determine package manager
+2. Read workspace config from appropriate file
+3. Extract parent directories: `apps`, `packages`, `services`, `tools`
+4. Prompt user to select one
+
+### Template Execution Pipeline
+
+vite+ acts as an intelligent wrapper that:
+
+1. **Pre-processing**:
+   - Detect template type (bingo vs universal)
+   - **If in monorepo**: Prompt for target directory (apps, packages, services, etc.)
+   - Discover workspace packages for dependency selection
+   - Capture pre-generation snapshot (for universal templates)
+
+2. **Execution**:
+   - Parse CLI arguments: options before `--` are for vite+, options after `--` are for template
+   - Execute the template using Node.js: `node node_modules/{template}/bin/index.js [args-after---]`
+   - Pass through template arguments (everything after `--`)
+   - Template runs with full interactivity
+
+3. **Post-processing** (same for ALL templates):
+   - **Detect & Migrate**: Analyze generated code with ast-grep
+     - Detect standalone vite/vitest/oxlint/oxfmt
+     - Prompt user to upgrade to vite-plus unified toolchain
+     - Apply migration if confirmed
+   - **Monorepo Integration**:
+     - Prompt for workspace dependencies to add
+     - Update generated package.json with selected dependencies
+     - Update workspace config if needed (add to pnpm-workspace.yaml or package.json workspaces)
+     - Run `vite install` to link workspace dependencies
+
+**Implementation Note**:
+
+- vite+ CLI parses options before `--` (e.g., `--no-migrate`, `--deps`)
+- Options after `--` are passed through to the template as-is
+- No Rust-JS bridge needed - we shell out to Node.js to run templates
+
+### Template Execution Flow
+
+```
+1. User runs: vite gen [template-name] [vite-options] -- [template-options]
+   ↓
+2. vite+ parses CLI arguments (split on -- separator)
+   ↓
+3. IF no template-name provided: Enter interactive mode
+   ├─ Show template selection menu (Vite+ Monorepo, Vite+ Generator, Vite, TanStack, Other)
+   ├─ Handle special templates with auto-argument injection
+   └─ Continue with selected template
+   ↓
+4. vite+ checks if running in a monorepo workspace
+   ↓
+5. IF in monorepo: Prompt user to select target directory (apps, packages, etc.)
+   ↓
+6. vite+ discovers and identifies template type (bingo vs universal)
+   ↓
+7. vite+ captures pre-generation snapshot (file list)
+   ↓
+8. vite+ loads workspace packages for dependency selection
+   ↓
+9. vite+ starts fspy watcher to monitor package.json operations
+   ↓
+10. vite+ executes template: node node_modules/{template}/bin/index.js [template-options]
+    (with cwd set to selected directory or passing directory as argument)
+    ↓
+11. Template runs (handles all prompts, validation, file generation)
+    ↓
+12. Template completes successfully
+    ↓
+13. vite+ stops fspy watcher and derives project directory from package.json path
+    ↓
+14. vite+ post-processes in detected project directory (same for ALL templates):
+
+   AUTO-MIGRATE TO VITE-PLUS:
+   ├─ Detect standalone vite/vitest/oxlint/oxfmt
+   ├─ Prompt to upgrade to vite-plus unified toolchain
+   └─ If yes, apply migration with ast-grep:
+       ├─ Dependencies: vite + vitest + oxlint + oxfmt → vite-plus
+       ├─ Merge vitest.config.ts → vite.config.ts
+       ├─ Merge .oxlintrc → vite.config.ts
+       ├─ Merge .oxfmtrc → vite.config.ts
+       └─ Remove standalone config files
+
+   MONOREPO INTEGRATION:
+   ├─ Prompt user to select workspace dependencies
+   ├─ Update package.json with workspace:* dependencies
+   ├─ Check if project path matches workspace patterns
+   ├─ If not matched: Update workspace config (pnpm-workspace.yaml or package.json)
+   ├─ Run vite install to link workspace dependencies
+   └─ Display next steps and tips
+```
+
+This approach is **simple and robust**:
+
+- ✅ No need to embed a JavaScript runtime in Rust
+- ✅ No need to maintain compatibility with template APIs
+- ✅ Any template works out of the box (bingo or universal)
+- ✅ Template authors can publish to npm normally
+- ✅ Adds vite+ optimization through intelligent migration
+- ✅ Seamless monorepo integration
+
+**Implementation Notes**:
+
+- **GitHub Templates**: Uses degit via npx for zero-config cloning
+- **Error Handling**: Provides context-specific troubleshooting tips
+- **Update Mode**: Foundation in place for transition mode generators
+- **Caching**: Relies on native npm/pnpm caching mechanisms

+## Usage Examples
+
+### Example 1: Universal Template (create-vite) with Auto-Execution
+
+When a template is not installed locally, vite+ automatically uses the appropriate package manager runner:

+
+✅ Generator created at tools/generators/ui-lib
+
+Next steps:
+  1. cd tools/generators/ui-lib
+  2. Edit src/template.ts to define your generator logic
+  3. Test with: vite gen @company/generator-ui-lib
+```
+

+
+## Customization
+
+Edit `src/template.ts` to customize:
+
+- Options schema (using Zod)
+- File generation logic
+- Scripts and suggestions
+```
+
+**Usage in the Monorepo:**
+
+```bash
+# Run from monorepo root
+vite gen @company/generator-ui-lib
+
+# Bingo generator prompts
+┌  @company/generator-ui-lib
+│
+◇  Library name: design-system
+◇  Framework: React
+◇  Include Storybook? Yes
+◇  Include CSS-in-JS? No
+│
+└  Template completed!
+
+# vite+ ALSO detects standalone vite tools (even for bingo templates!)
+◇  Template completed! Detecting vite-related tools...
+│
+◆  Detected standalone vite tools:
+│  ✓ vite ^5.0.0
+│  ✓ vitest ^1.0.0
+│
+◆  Upgrade to vite-plus unified toolchain?
+│
+│  This will:
+│  • Replace vite + vitest with vite-plus
+│  • Merge configs into vite.config.ts
+│
+│  ● Yes / ○ No
+│
+◇  Migrating to vite-plus...
+│  ✓ Updated package.json dependencies
+│  ✓ Merged vitest.config.ts → vite.config.ts
+│  ✓ Removed standalone config files
+│
+◆  Add workspace packages as dependencies?
+│
+│  ◼ @company/theme - Design tokens and theme
+│  ◼ @company/utils - Utility functions
+│  ◼ @company/icons - Icon library
+│  ◻ @company/hooks - React hooks
+│
+◇  Selected: @company/theme, @company/utils, @company/icons
+│
+◇  Updating packages/design-system/package.json...
+◇  Checking workspace configuration...
+◇  Project matches pattern 'packages/*' ✓
+◇  Running vite install...
+│
+└  Done!
+
+✅ Created design-system component library with vite+ optimizations
+
+Next steps:
+  1. cd packages/design-system
+  2. Add components to src/components/
+  3. Export in src/index.ts
+  4. vite build
+  5. npm run storybook (view docs)
+
+# CLI options
+vite gen @company/generator-ui-lib --name=icons --no-migrate  # Skip migrations
+vite gen @company/generator-ui-lib --name=hooks --deps=@company/utils  # Pre-select deps
+```
+
+**Key Point**: Even your own bingo generators benefit from auto-migration! You can generate code using standalone vite/vitest/oxlint, and vite+ will automatically consolidate them into vite-plus.
+
+**Tip**: Use `vite gen @vite-plus/create-generator` to quickly scaffold a new generator in your monorepo!
+
+**Testing the Generator:**
+
+```typescript
+// tools/generators/ui-lib/src/template.test.ts
+import { testTemplate } from 'bingo/testers';
+import { describe, expect, it } from 'vitest';
+import template from './template.js';
+
+describe('UI Library Generator', () => {
+  it('generates library with storybook', async () => {
+    const result = await testTemplate(template, {
+      options: {
+        name: 'design-system',
+        framework: 'react',
+        storybook: true,
+        cssInJs: false,
+      },
+    });
+
+    expect(result.files['packages/design-system/package.json']).toContain('@company/design-system');
+    expect(result.files['packages/design-system/package.json']).toContain('@storybook/react');
+    expect(result.files['packages/design-system/src/components/Button.tsx']).toBeDefined();
+    expect(result.files['packages/design-system/.storybook/main.ts']).toBeDefined();
+  });
+
+  it('generates library without storybook', async () => {
+    const result = await testTemplate(template, {
+      options: {
+        name: 'icons',
+        framework: 'react',
+        storybook: false,
+        cssInJs: false,
+      },
+    });
+
+    expect(result.files['packages/icons/.storybook/main.ts']).toBeUndefined();
+    expect(result.files['packages/icons/src/components/Button.stories.tsx']).toBeUndefined();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Built-in vite+ Generator (Optional)
+
+For monorepo-specific needs, vite+ can provide thin wrappers:
+
+```bash
+# Built-in generator that configures vite-task.json automatically
+vite gen vite:library --name=shared-utils
+
+# This could wrap an existing bingo template and add:
+# - vite-task.json with build/test/lint tasks
+# - Proper workspace structure
+# - TypeScript configuration for monorepo
+```
+
+## Technical Considerations
+
+### 1. Process Execution & Directory Detection
+
+- **Subprocess Management**: Use Node.js `child_process.spawn()` to execute templates
+- **Stdio Handling**: Use `inherit` mode to pass through stdin/stdout/stderr for interactive prompts
+- **Directory Detection**: Use `fspy` to monitor package.json operations during template execution
+  - Watch specifically for package.json write/create operations
+  - Capture package.json file path when written
+  - Derive project root from package.json path (extract parent directory)
+  - Handle multiple package.json writes (choose the first top-level one)
+  - Handle in-place generation (package.json created in cwd)
+- **Exit Codes**: Properly handle template exit codes and surface errors
+- **Working Directory**: Use `cwd` option to ensure template runs in the correct directory
+
+### 2. Package Manager Detection & Workspace Config
+
+- **Auto-detect**: Determine package manager from lock files
+  - `pnpm-lock.yaml` → pnpm
+  - `package-lock.json` → npm
+  - `yarn.lock` → yarn
+  - `bun.lockb` → bun
+- **Read Workspace Config**: Based on detected package manager
+  - **pnpm**: Read `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, parse `packages` array
+  - **npm/yarn/bun**: Read root `package.json`, parse `workspaces` array
+- **Respect Workspace**: Use the same package manager as the monorepo
+- **Installation**: When prompting to install, use the detected package manager
+
+### 3. Template Detection
+
+- **package.json Parsing**: Read package.json to check for bingo dependency
+- **Bin Entry**: Look for bin field to find the executable
+- **Keywords**: Check for "bingo-template" keyword as fallback
+- **Validation**: Warn if package doesn't look like a valid bingo template
+
+### 4. Monorepo Integration
+
+- **Workspace Detection**: Check if running in a monorepo workspace
+- **Directory Selection**: Prompt user to select target directory (apps, packages, services, etc.)
+  - Read workspace config (pnpm-workspace.yaml or package.json workspaces)
+  - Extract parent directories from workspace patterns
+  - Present as interactive selection
+  - Can be overridden with `--directory` flag
+- **Workspace Package Discovery**: Load all packages from workspace with their metadata
+  - Use detected package manager's workspace patterns
+  - Resolve glob patterns to find all packages
+- **Dependency Selection UI**: Multi-select prompt for choosing workspace dependencies
+- **Smart Filtering**: Filter packages by type (exclude generators, include libraries)
+- **Version Protocol**: Use `workspace:*` for workspace dependencies
+- **Package.json Updates**: Parse and update generated package.json with selected deps
+- **Workspace Registration**: Check if detected project matches existing workspace patterns
+  - If matches (e.g., `packages/my-app` matches `packages/*`): ✅ No update needed
+  - If not matched: Update workspace config file
+    - **pnpm**: Add pattern to pnpm-workspace.yaml `packages` array
+    - **npm/yarn/bun**: Add pattern to package.json `workspaces` array
+- **Dependency Installation**: Run `vite install` to link workspace dependencies
+- **Path Normalization**: Ensure paths are relative to workspace root
+- **Idempotency**: Don't duplicate patterns if already exist
+
+### 5. Error Handling
+
+- **Clear Messages**: Distinguish between vite+ errors and template errors
+- **Installation Failures**: Handle vite install failures gracefully
+- **Partial Completion**: If template creates files but errors, inform user
+- **Troubleshooting**: Provide hints for common issues (Node.js not found, etc.)
+
+### 6. Testing
+
+Testing can leverage bingo's own test utilities:
+
+```typescript
+// Template authors test using bingo's testing tools
+import { testTemplate } from 'bingo/testers';
+import { expect, test } from 'vitest';
+import template from './template';
+
+test('generates React app', async () => {
+  const result = await testTemplate(template, {
+    options: { name: 'my-app', framework: 'react' },
+  });
+
+  expect(result.files['package.json']).toContain('react');
+});
+```
+
+vite+ template runner logic is also tested using TypeScript/Vitest:
+
+```typescript
+// In vite_generator package
+import { describe, expect, it } from 'vitest';
+import { detectBingoTemplate, loadWorkspacePackages } from './discovery';
+
+describe('Template Detection', () => {
+  it('detects bingo template from package.json', async () => {
+    const pkg = {
+      name: 'create-typescript-app',
+      dependencies: { 'bingo': '^0.5.0' },
+      bin: { 'create-typescript-app': './bin/index.js' },
+    };
+
+    expect(detectBingoTemplate(pkg)).toBe(true);
+  });
+
+  it('detects bingo template from keywords', async () => {
+    const pkg = {
+      name: 'my-template',
+      keywords: ['bingo-template'],
+      bin: { 'my-template': './index.js' },
+    };
+
+    expect(detectBingoTemplate(pkg)).toBe(true);
+  });
+});
+
+describe('Workspace Package Discovery', () => {
+  it('loads all workspace packages', async () => {
+    const packages = await loadWorkspacePackages('/path/to/monorepo');
+
+    expect(packages).toContainEqual({
+      name: '@company/logger',
+      path: 'packages/logger',
+      description: 'Logging library',
+    });
+  });
+
+  it('filters out generator packages', async () => {
+    const packages = await loadWorkspacePackages('/path/to/monorepo', {
+      excludeGenerators: true,
+    });
+
+    expect(packages.every(pkg => !pkg.name.includes('generator'))).toBe(true);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Comparison: Bingo vs Universal Templates
+
+| Aspect                 | Bingo Templates              | Universal Templates             |
+| ---------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
+| **Writing Experience** | ✅ Type-safe (Zod), testable | ⚠️ No standard, varies           |
+| **Examples**           | @company/generator-ui-lib    | create-vite, create-next-app    |
+| **Customization**      | ✅ Full control              | ⚠️ Limited to template options   |
+| **Auto-Migration**     | ✅ Yes (same as universal)   | ✅ Yes (same as bingo)          |
+| **Ecosystem**          | ~5-10 bingo templates        | Thousands of create-* templates |
+| **Learning Curve**     | Medium (learn bingo)         | Zero (use familiar templates)   |
+| **Maintenance**        | Maintained by you            | Maintained by template authors  |
+| **Best For**           | Custom company generators    | Quick starts, standard setups   |
+
+**Key Point**: Both bingo and universal templates get the **same auto-migration to vite-plus**. The difference is only in the authoring experience:
+
+- **Choose bingo** when you want to write custom generators with type safety and testing
+- **Choose universal** when you want to use existing templates from the ecosystem
+- **Both get auto-migrated** to vite-plus unified toolchain automatically!
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **Auto-installation UX**: Should we auto-install templates or always prompt first?
+2. **Template Caching**: Should we cache installed templates or always fetch latest?
+3. **Built-in Generators**: Which built-in generators (if any) should we provide?
+4. **Directory Selection**:
+   - Should we infer descriptions from directory names (e.g., "apps" → "Applications")?
+   - Should we support adding custom directories via `--directory=custom/path`?
+   - Should we remember last selected directory for next generation?
+5. **Dependency Selection**:
+   - Should we filter packages by type (e.g., exclude test utilities)?
+   - Should we have smart defaults based on generator type?
+   - Should we support dependency groups (e.g., "common backend libs")?
+6. **Version Protocol**: Always use `workspace:*` or allow specific version ranges?
+7. **Migration Safety**:
+   - Should we create backups before applying migrations?
+   - How to handle migration conflicts?
+   - Support rollback of migrations?
+8. **ast-grep Integration**:
+   - Should migration rules be YAML or TypeScript?
+   - Should we allow custom user-defined migrations?
+9. **Extensibility**:
+   - Plugin system for third-party migrations?
+   - How to share migrations across teams?
+
