Context Engineering for AI

Make AI-driven development structured and predictable

archkit gives AI coding agents the architecture context they need to generate production-quality code. Define patterns once, prevent mistakes everywhere.

The problem with AI coding

AI agents generate code fast, but without architecture context they generate the wrong code fast.

Repeated mistakes

AI agents don't know your project's gotchas. They'll use string concatenation for SQL, skip tenant isolation, or import across feature boundaries — every time.

No architecture awareness

Without knowing your layers (controller → service → repository), AI puts business logic in controllers, raw SQL in route handlers, and cross-feature imports everywhere.

Inconsistent output

Every prompt produces different patterns. One file uses async/await, the next uses callbacks. One query uses the ORM, the next writes raw SQL. No coherence.

archkit solves this

Three file types that give AI agents the guardrails they need.

S

Skills

Package-specific WRONG / RIGHT / WHY patterns. Teach the AI what not to do with each dependency. Postgres, Redis, Keycloak — every gotcha documented once, enforced everywhere.

G

Graphs

Architecture clusters that define feature boundaries, node layers, and data flow. The AI knows exactly which file to edit and how components connect.

P

Presets

Full project scaffolding configs. Define your stack, features, and skills in one JSON file. Run archkit init and get a complete .arch/ directory.

How it works

From install to structured AI output in under 5 minutes.

1

Install archkit

npm install -g archkit

2

Initialize your project

archkit init walks you through your stack, features, and skills. Or use a preset: archkit init --preset saas-starter.json

3

AI reads your .arch/ directory

Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor — any AI agent that reads project files now has your architecture context. Skills prevent gotchas. Graphs enforce boundaries. Rules define conventions.
