README

Your idea turned into a complete app. Describe it to Claude Code, approve the plan, and Caligrafy ships it online, with the code in your own GitHub repository.

Get started quickly

git clone https://github.com/caligrafy/caligrafy-quill.git myapp
cd myapp

/caligrafy-quill:idea A reading list: I add books I want to read, mark them as read, and rate them from 1 to 5.

	You	Claude and Caligrafy
1. Describe it	your idea, in a sentence	a plan: the tables, every feature, who may do what, the pages
2. Approve it	read the plan, change it, say OK	build every feature once and check it
3. Ship it	approve the sign-ins in your browser	your GitHub repository, online at `https://<name>.caligrafy.com`

Claude never asks for a password or a key, and asks before spending credits. Quickstart with Claude has the details.

Start from a proven prompt on the marketplace, and sell yours there once it is online (/caligrafy-quill:marketplace, 25% of every sale).

A complete app

Every feature is written once, as a capability (its inputs, rules and permissions), and served everywhere: web pages, Vue apps on desktop, tablet and phone, a REST API, and AI agents such as Claude or Cursor over MCP. Same rules, same permissions, same audit log, whichever way it is called. A capability can also run on a timer, with no page open (scheduled jobs), and reach your users with the app closed (notifications: web push and email). Sign-in, tokens, payments, AI, design styles, a social card on every page and a production Dockerfile come in the box. See How Caligrafy works.

By hand

The same three steps without Claude, with Docker:

git clone https://github.com/caligrafy/caligrafy-quill.git myapp
cd myapp
.bin/caligrafer quickstart --example

Open http://localhost:8080/tasks, then follow the Quickstart to use it over REST, from an AI agent, and to ship it with php caligrafer.php cloud deploy.
