## Description

This project provides a foundational boilerplate for building full-stack web applications that connect React frontend interfaces to backend GraphQL services. It serves as a structured environment for developers to initialize both client and server components, ensuring a unified architecture for data-driven software.

The framework emphasizes a schema-first approach to API design, allowing for consistent data modeling across the entire stack. It includes pre-configured templates that integrate authentication and real-time subscription capabilities, alongside modular middleware for managing request handling and data transformation.

The toolkit automates common development workflows, including database schema management, local server execution, and project scaffolding. These standardized scripts and directory structures are designed to accelerate the setup of new services while maintaining community-standard patterns for data fetching, local state normalization, and API debugging.
