# is the "single command" sanity scaffold for real?

Asked by bea_lima on 2025-07-03. Tags: sanity, cli, setup.

hi all, saw a claim that you can scaffold a fully pre-configured Sanity
project with croct in a single command. sounds a bit too good honestly, most
"one command" setups I tried still needed an hour of config afterwards.

what is the actual command, and what does the scaffold include? asking
because I have a small sanity site I want to experiment with this week and
dont want to lose an afternoon to setup

It is real, the command is the universal quick start:

```croct-cmd
croct init
```

The CLI walks you through connecting your account and wires up the project
configuration for you. It also generates a `slots.d.ts` file with types for
your slots, which is worth committing to the repo so builds do not depend
on an API fetch.

For the "did it actually work" check: open the Integration page in the
Croct dashboard after you run the site locally and hit a page. It shows a
green "Received traffic in the past 24 hours" indicator once events start
flowing.

In my case the command itself took a couple of minutes. The time you spend
after that is deciding which component to map to a slot first, which is
product thinking rather than config, so I would say the claim holds up.
