feat: shipnode init --preset next|tanstack-start|adonis|nuxt #12

Description

What to build

Today shipnode init produces a generic config. First deploys are where users drop off — port mismatches, wrong buildDir, missing preDeploy for migrations, wrong build script in package.json. Add framework-aware presets that ship a config that just deploys.

Presets to ship in v1:

  • next — Next.js 14+. Frontend + built-in Node server. Port 3000. Build: next build. Recommend output: 'standalone'.
  • tanstack-start — TanStack Start. Backend variant with the correct start command.
  • adonis — AdonisJS 6+. Backend, port 3333. build script + preDeploy for node ace migration:run --force.
  • nuxt — Nuxt 3. Frontend/Node server variant.

Each preset writes a full working shipnode.config.ts and, when helpful, warns about the app-side changes needed (e.g. Next.js output: 'standalone', Prisma build script order — see the shipnode skill troubleshooting section, that content should feed the preset).

CLI shape:

  • shipnode init --preset next
  • shipnode init --preset next --non-interactive uses defaults, prompts skipped
  • Preset resolution is registry-based so adding a preset is one file, not a switch statement across the CLI

Acceptance criteria

  • shipnode init --preset next produces a config with .frontend() (or the correct type), .buildDir('.next'), and a documented start command
  • Adonis preset includes .preDeploy(async ({ exec }) => await exec('node ace migration:run --force'))
  • --preset <unknown> exits 1 with a list of valid presets
  • Interactive mode (no --non-interactive) still prompts for host, user, domain, deploy path — presets fill only what's framework-specific
  • Each preset has a smoke test that runs shipnode init --preset X --non-interactive --print and asserts the output is valid config
  • README documents the preset list

Blocked by

None - can start immediately

Note

This is a HITL slice: the list of presets to support and their exact defaults are a product decision. Recommend reviewing the list and defaults with a real deploy of each stack before locking them into the registry.
