This library is part of the Aurelia platform and provides production quality skeletons for people ready to build apps. There are various skeleton options available, depending on your platform and tooling choices.

If you have questions, please join our community on Gitter or use stack overflow. Documentation can be found in our developer hub. If you would like to have deeper insight into our development process, please install the ZenHub Chrome or Firefox Extension and visit any of our repository's boards.
Please see the individual readme files within each skeleton for an explanation of how to get setup.
Note: We recommend that you only use officially released versions of these skeletons, rather than working directly from the master branch. You can go to the Github releases tab to find the related downloads.
