Getting started

Prereqs:

• Bun
• POE_API_KEY env var set in your shell (grab a key from poe.com/api/keys)

1. Install the CLI

bun remove -g @ai-app/poe-tiles-cli 2>/dev/null; bun install -g https://misc-dev-uploads.quora-913.workers.dev/2e8ee6e4c2ab80af749cc0b44862d8c3ff8d6e113d28ad7cd98fc6ff3f28825b

See CLI for other install options.

To upgrade later, run poe-tiles upgrade — it fetches the latest tarball URL from the stable CLI manifest and reinstalls.

2. Scaffold an app

poe-tiles apps init

Scaffolds an app, prompting for template, directory name, and other options.

3. Make changes

Use Claude Code:

cd my-app
claude

4. Publish

bun run build
poe-tiles apps publish --handle my-app --dir ./dist

CLI prints live app URL on success.
