Getting Started
Install the Blueprint CLI and run your first package in minutes.
Prerequisites
Blueprint requires Go 1.23 or later. You can check your version with:
1. Install the CLI
Install the blueprint binary with a single Go command:
This adds blueprint to your $GOPATH/bin. Make sure that directory is on your $PATH.
2. Browse packages
Explore the registry to find packages published by the community.
Browse packages →3. Install a package
Copy the install command from any package page and run it in your project directory:
Blueprint writes files into your project. For knowledge packages, it also adds a reference line to your CLAUDE.md pointing at .blueprint/knowledge-index.md so your AI assistant can discover installed knowledge.
4. Useful flags
Two flags cover most real-world scenarios:
Preview which files would be written without modifying your project.
Auto-approve all prompts — useful in CI pipelines and non-interactive shells.
Package Types
Blueprint supports five package types, each installing into a different part of your project:
| Type | Installs to | Description |
|---|---|---|
| knowledge | .blueprint/knowledge/ | Versioned docs your AI assistant can read via CLAUDE.md |

| tools | cargo / pip / npm / go | CLI tools and dependencies installed via native package managers |
| skeletons | project directory | Scaffolding templates with {{VAR}} substitution |
| packages | all of the above | Bundles combining multiple types in a single install |
