SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Boilerworks solves the problem of repeatedly rebuilding the same production scaffolding (auth, Docker, CI/CD, databases, deployment wiring) from scratch when starting new software projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clones + configures opinionated templates: Pick a stack from Boilerworks’ 26 templates, then have it generated and wired to your manifest.
  • Guided manifest creation: Use the interactive setup wizard to produce a boilerworks.yaml manifest for your chosen project parameters.
  • AI-friendly template structure: Templates are structured with conventions and agent notes so you can extend the codebase immediately with less context hunting.
  • Common use cases: Starting a user-facing app with org/auth, provisioning a microservice API with API-key auth, or generating an edge/serverless content or worker project.

Quick Start

Run boilerworks setup to answer the template questions and write boilerworks.yaml, then run boilerworks init to clone and configure the selected template into your new project directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a production-ready app with auth and CI/CD preconfigured?

You can scaffold production-ready apps by running the CLI setup wizard to generate a boilerworks.yaml manifest, then executing init to clone and configure a template with auth, CI/CD, and Docker wiring.

What is a manifest-driven workflow for project scaffolding?

A manifest-driven workflow uses a boilerworks.yaml file to define project parameters, allowing the CLI to deterministically clone templates and substitute configuration without manual reconfiguration of deployment plumbing.

Can I generate Docker compose and API-key auth for microservice APIs?

Yes, you can provision a microservice API template with API-key auth and Docker compose configured automatically through the interactive setup wizard and manifest generation process.

Do I need Python 3.12+ to use the CLI for bootstrapping project templates?

Yes, Python 3.12+ is required for CLI initialization, manifest generation, and deterministic template cloning when bootstrapping application projects from the opinionated template catalogue.

Are the project templates structured for AI code generation agents?

Yes, templates include conventions and agent notes within an AI-friendly structure, enabling code generation agents to extend the codebase immediately with less context hunting.

What's the best way to start an edge or serverless worker project without manual deployment setup?

The best way is selecting an edge or serverless template from the catalogue, answering the setup wizard questions to produce your manifest, and running init to automatically wire deployment plumbing.
