Manifest is a backend your AI can understand and your team can trust.

It allows you to create a backend with data, storage, logic and an admin panel. All is defined in 1 YAML file that both humans and LLMs can understand and edit. ✨

Here is an example of a complete Manifest app:

name: Pokemon app 🐣

entities:
  Pokemon 🐉:
    properties:
      - name
      - {
          name: type,
          type: choice,
          options: { values: [Fire, Water, Grass, Electric] }
        }
      - { name: level, type: number }
    belongsTo:
      - Trainer

  Trainer 🧑‍🎤:
    properties:
      - name
      - { name: isChampion, type: boolean }

Create a new Manifest project by running:

yarn create manifest my-project

Using an AI coding editor or LLM-powered workflow? These commands configure your project to work seamlessly with it:

yarn create manifest my-project --cursor

yarn create manifest my-project --copilot

yarn create manifest my-project --windsurf

This sets up my-project with Manifest, tailored to your environment.

npm create also works if you don’t use Yarn.
