The problem

You open Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot and explain — again — that you use React not Vue, Next.js App Router not Pages, Zustand not Redux, Tailwind not styled-components, and that Playwright is the E2E runner.

That friction is missing shared context. General models do not ship with your component library, your route layout, or your definition of “done” for accessibility.

Before FARE

Typical loop

• Re-state stack and UI conventions every session
• Inconsistent patterns across features
• Reviews catch “wrong framework idioms” instead of product risk
• No shared checklist for Lighthouse, axe, or bundle impact

After FARE

What changes

• Rules encode structure, styling, state, data, forms, a11y, SEO, testing, and security — once.
• Skills encode workflows (plan → review → QA → ship → audits).
• Context files anchor the agent to this product and approved libraries.

What you generate (at a glance)

Piece	Role
Agent file	Core identity, quality gates, and principles for your repo
Rules (13 files)	Always-on standards — architecture, components, styling, state, routing, testing, security, and more
Lifecycle stages	Seven named workflows — Think, Plan, Build, Review, Test, Ship, Reflect
Context	Domain map and approved tech stack you fill in once
IDE format	Delivered as Cursor .mdc rules, CLAUDE.md, Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, or Antigravity workflows
