Created and maintained by Nick Opris; DigitalTrotter is the supporting organization. Version 2.0.0 released 19 March 2026 with security advisory coverage. Includes Drush commands, the Document Loader Explorer admin UI, Tool API / AI agent integration, MDXEditor and Field Widget Action integration, and an AI Automator.
- [One Line Installer](https://www.drupal.org/project/one_line_installer): go from nothing to a running, AI-ready Drupal CMS site in one command. Bootstraps a fresh Drupal CMS site with DDEV, wires in AI best practices and a coding agent, and hands you a working site with the admin login already set up, on macOS, Linux or Windows (WSL2), with all dependencies installed automatically. Maintained by Nick Opris.
