Create a NocoBase 3 application

This Skill gets a new project created, configured and running locally: source code to develop, not a built application to deploy. It does not describe how to develop one: the moment the application exists, its own AGENTS.md and .agents/skills/ take over. Those match the version that was installed and this Skill does not, so prefer them wherever the two differ.

Before you start

• If the working directory already holds a NocoBase application — a package.json with a nocobase field, next to an AGENTS.md — do not use this Skill. Read that AGENTS.md and continue from it.

• NocoBase 3 is created with pnpm create @nocobase/app@beta. Never fall back to NocoBase 2 instructions or the nb CLI, including when a package cannot be found; see Troubleshooting instead.

• Check the request is this Skill's. A project is source code someone changes, developed locally; an installation is a built NocoBase that only runs, usually in production, and belongs to nocobase-app-installer:

  The user asks to	Skill
  Install, create, set up or try NocoBase, to develop with	This one
  Deploy an application to production or a server	nocobase-app-installer, --archive
