CLI

zeste init

Finds the services the project already uses and writes their declaration for zeste.

npx @zeste/cli init             # writes lib/consent.ts (in src/, Nuxt's app/ or the root)
npx @zeste/cli init --dry-run   # report only

It reads the project once and recognizes:

• a tarteaucitron configuration: tarteaucitron.job, tarteaucitron.user.*, cookie name and domain, Consent Mode;
• the most common snippets pasted directly into pages: Google Analytics, Google Ads, Tag Manager, Matomo, Hotjar, Meta Pixel, Clarity, Google Maps, YouTube and Vimeo embeds.

Its report lists, file and line, the scripts to remove (zeste loads them after consent), the embeds to put behind <ConsentGate>, and the options left to fill in. It does not recognize every third party. Check the list, then add the missing services from the catalog.

Option
--out <file>	Output file. Default: lib/consent.ts in src/, app/ (Nuxt) or the root
--format module|script	module: TypeScript for the npm packages (default with a package.json). script: zeste.config.js for the script tag (default without one)
--dry-run	Print the report and the file, write nothing
--force	Overwrite an existing file
