Backend-Ai-starter-REcipesStop re-explaining your backend stack to every AI agent.

Opinionated rules, skills, and context for NestJS, Express, Fastify, and Hono — one command, every adapter.

📐

Framework-aware rules

Architecture, APIs, data layer, testing, and Git conventions tailored to NestJS, Express, Fastify, or Hono — plus your ORM and validation choice.

🧭

AI workflow skills

Reusable workflows like plan-review, code-review, QA, and ship so every feature follows the same quality path without re-prompting.

🖥️

Multi-IDE adapters

Your stack choices render directly into Cursor rules, Claude Code instructions, Copilot config, Antigravity workflows, or Windsurf rules — pick what you use.

How it works in 30 seconds

Run npx backend-ai-starter-recipes (or bare if installed globally) and point at your project folder.
Get adapter-native files for every IDE you selected — Cursor rules, a CLAUDE.md, Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, or Antigravity workflows. Nothing else lands in your project.
Build features: the agent reads those docs automatically, so you describe what you want, not how to format every PR.
