See the full guide in the repository: CONTRIBUTING.md on GitHub

Quick Overview

bash

git clone https://github.com/drnasin/tessera-installer.git
cd tessera-installer
composer install
vendor/bin/phpunit   # 131 tests, zero tokens

Adding a New Stack

Create src/Stacks/YourStack.php implementing StackInterface and register it in StackRegistry::init(). Each stack needs:

preflight() — check required tools
scaffold() — AI-driven build flow
Universal prompt rules (use it like a customer, verify before you use)

See CONTRIBUTING.md for details, example code, and the full contribution workflow.

Getting Started — install Tessera and try it out before contributing
AI Routing — understand how AI tools are orchestrated during builds
