How it works

Three steps. Your AI stops hallucinating packages.

1

Install

One command. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

2

Your AI validates

Before installing any package, your AI checks IndieStack first. Catches fakes and typosquats.

3

It finds what works

Instead of generating code from scratch, your AI recommends a vetted, maintained tool.
