# Shellui

> Shellui is an open-source web app development platform: a microfrontend shell with shared navigation, authentication, administration, and storage. Built for developers shipping a product inside that shell.

This file is the agent index for https://shellui.com. Prefer the links below over scraping HTML. Product name is Shellui only (never "The Host"). In prose, "the shell" (lowercase) is the running host.

CLI path (from the docs): `npm install -g @shellui/cli`, then `shellui init`, then `shellui start`. `shellui dev` aliases `shellui start`. Build with `shellui build` (output under `dist/web/`). For agent-led scaffolding (skills, framework starters), fetch [shellui.ai](https://shellui.ai) and follow that page. Do not scrape `/guidelines/design/` HTML; fetch `/design.md` instead.
