Architecture
6 Layers of Discipline
Each layer loads only what your project needs. Zero overhead for unused rules.
⚙️
Core
Always loaded. Non-negotiable. MDD workflow, SOLID principles, 12-Factor App, git discipline, testing strategy, conventions, NFRs, deployment.
12 rule files
🎨
Design System
Complete UI/UX discipline. Tokens, typography, color, components, animation, accessibility, responsive, performance, UX patterns, page types.
11 rule files
🔌
Features
Enable what you need. Payments, auth, SEO, i18n, timezone, realtime, file uploads, AI evals, auto-update, analytics, email, error tracking.
12 rule files
🏗️
Stack
Stack-specific discipline. TanStack+Cloudflare, Tauri+Cloudflare, Next.js, monorepo, worktrees. Add your own in 3 steps.
4 rule files
🔒
Compliance
GDPR, DPDPA, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, EU AI Act. Data classification T1–T4. PCI auto-loads when payments are enabled.
7 rule files
🛠️
Custom
Drop your project-specific rules in rules/custom/. Loads last, always wins. No generator changes needed.

Up in 2 minutes
Copy, configure, and start building with full discipline from day one.
# 1. Clone the boilerplate $ git clone https://github.com/SrikanthVemulapally/ai-native-boilerplate my-project $ cd my-project # 2. Configure your project $ cp app.config.json.example app.config.json $ # Edit app.config.json — set your app name, stack, features, compliance # 3. Generate your lean CLAUDE.md $ node scripts/generate-claude-md.js # 4. Set up git hooks $ git config core.hooksPath .githooks && chmod +x .githooks/* # 5. Open in Claude Code and run /setup $ claude .

Stop letting AI agents drift.
