For indie developers

Keep the next change aligned with your code.

Every new coding session needs the same context: your stack, your conventions, and what a finished change should do. Make that context reusable.

Project

An existing Next.js subscription app

  • Reuse the existing billing service and UI components
  • Keep authorization on the server
  • Include verification steps in the handoff

A starting point to adapt to your project.

Start with

A codebase whose conventions live in your head

Leave with

Project rules, acceptance criteria, and a handoff

A practical way through.

Three steps · Free tools · No signup

  1. 01

    Write down the rules that matter

    Capture the stack, code conventions, and verification commands. Export rules in a format suited to your coding assistant.

    Project Rules Generator
  2. 02

    Make the finish line testable

    Turn intended behavior into acceptance criteria. Cover the main path and the conditions that could make a change fail.

    Leave the next session a useful handoff

    Record what changed, what is still open, and how to verify the work. Keep the next session from repeating the same investigation.

A few details

Before you start.

Does the rules generator read my repository?

No. It formats the stack, conventions, and commands you provide. Check the output against your repository before saving it.

Can I use the output with different coding assistants?

Yes. The project rules generator supports AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and Cursor rules. The other documents can be copied into the assistant you already use.

Will this replace tests or code review?

No. Criteria and handoffs make the intended behavior explicit. You still need to run the relevant checks and review the implementation.

Keep your project context close.
