Release v2.3.0 — VaderLabz Template

Released: May 24, 2026
Tag: v2.3.0
Previous: v2.2.0 — Template Scaffolding CLI

Why This Release Matters

v2.3.0 marks the shift from a developer scaffolding tool to a production-proven, animation-rich, static-first deployment protocol.

The VaderLabz template is the first full proof-of-concept for the Boilerplate's end-to-end capability:

  • Template factory → scaffold → local dev → deploy in one workflow
  • Cursor-native skills as living design system documentation
  • CSS architecture (vader.css) that scales without drift
  • Hostinger-ready static builds with optional Payload CMS upgrade path
  • Live deployment at https://vaderlabz.com

What Shipped

Template

A complete Next.js 15 site template implementing the Vader Protocol design system — deep black, crimson accents, Rajdhani + Share Tech Mono typography, terminal/command-center aesthetic.

CSS Architecture

vader.css replaces all CSS modules and inline styles. One file, all component styles, prefixed with vader-*. Zero inline style={{}} props anywhere.

Animation System

Full keyframe library: flicker, fadeInUp, fadeInLeft, pulse-red, pulse-green, bootReveal, borderMarch, glitch-1/2, shake, scaleIn, countUp. All applied per-element per the vader_animations_skill.md reference.

Deployment Tooling

Three new scripts handle the full Hostinger deploy pipeline. DEPLOY_TO_HOSTINGER.md documents every click. Verified working on production.

Cursor Skills

Two permanent .cursor/skills/ files ensure every future AI-assisted build stays on-brand automatically.

Upgrade from v2.2.0

No breaking changes to the Boilerplate core.

To scaffold the new template:

npm run msc:template -- apply full-stack/vader-site --name=your-site

To deploy to Hostinger, follow DEPLOY_TO_HOSTINGER.md.

Live Proof

https://vaderlabz.com — built and deployed entirely using this boilerplate template.
