robyn-config

robyn-config is a comprehensive CLI tool designed to bootstrap and manage Robyn applications. It streamlines your development workflow by generating production-ready project structures and automating repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on building your business logic.

Think of it as the essential companion for your Robyn projects-handling everything from initial setup with best practices to injecting new feature components as your application grows.

📦 Installation

You can simply use Pip for installation.

pip install robyn-config

🤖 AI Agent Skills

robyn-config also supports AI agent skills, which let agents apply reusable project-specific workflows and guidance.

To add the Robyn Config skills pack, run:

npx skills add Lehsqa/robyn-config-skills

🤔 Usage

🚀 Create a Project

To bootstrap a new project with your preferred architecture and ORM, run:

# Create a DDD project with SQLAlchemy (uses uv by default)
robyn-config create my-service --orm sqlalchemy --design ddd ./my-service

# Create an MVC project with Tortoise ORM, locking with poetry
robyn-config create newsletter --orm tortoise --design mvc --package-manager poetry ~/projects/newsletter

# Launch the interactive create UI
robyn-config create -i

Interactive mode defaults destination to . and lets you edit all fields before confirmation. If you pass flags (for example --orm tortoise), those values are prefilled in the form and still editable.

➕ Add Business Logic

Once inside a project, you can easily add new entities (models, routes, repositories, etc.) using the add command. This automatically generates all necessary files and wiring based on your project's architecture.

# Add a 'product' entity to your project
cd my-service
robyn-config add product

This will:

• Generate models/tables.
• Create repositories.
• Setup routes and controllers.
• Register everything in the app configuration.
• Respect your configured paths: add reads injection targets from [tool.robyn-config.add] in pyproject.toml (e.g., domain/operational/presentation paths for DDD or views/repository/urls for MVC). You can customize those paths before running add to steer where new code is written.

🏃 CLI Options

  create  Copy the template into destination with specific configurations.

create command options:

• name: Sets the project name used in templated files like pyproject.toml and README.md. Required unless -i is used.
• -i, --interactive: Launch a Textual terminal UI to fill create options interactively.
• --orm: Selects the database layer. Options: sqlalchemy (default), tortoise.
• --design: Toggles between the architecture templates. Options: ddd (default), mvc.
