-## Deno projects
-
-Choose Deno with `--runtime deno`. The generated project uses Deno for dependency installation and workspace tasks. Run `deno task dev:all`, `deno task type-check:all`, `deno task test:all`, or `deno task build:all`. Server, MCP, and CLI builds use `deno compile` to produce standalone executables.
-
-The Deno catalog covers React and Foldkit clients, HTTP and MCP servers, CLI applications, shared packages, AI and chat, presence, and SQLite and PostgreSQL modules. TypeScript 6 and native Deno workspace tasks remain the defaults; you can select TypeScript 7, formatting and linting tools, Nx, or Vite+ explicitly. SQLite requires `DATABASE_FILE` when launching a compiled server from a different working directory. Turborepo currently rejects Deno as the project package manager.
