# togo documentation

togo is an open-source, API-first Go framework with a Laravel-grade developer
experience: a `togo` CLI, code generators, an ORM, a microkernel where everything
is a plugin, GraphQL + REST/OpenAPI out of the box, a Next.js frontend, built-in
auth, realtime, queues, and first-class AI/MCP integration.

## Philosophy
A tiny kernel (config, router, hooks, plugin lifecycle, service container) with
every capability shipped as its own repo and registered via a provider on
blank-import. Install features with `togo install owner/repo`; SQLite is the
default DB (no Docker), swappable from `.env`.
