How It Works

From repo clone to autonomous AI generation with zero architectural drift.

01

Clone a Kit

Pick your preferred stack from the hub. Every complete kit includes pre-configured Docker containers, database environments, and single-source rules.

git clone ... && cd kits/laravel-filament-postgresql
02

Bootstrap Your Agent

Feed the kit's agent_bootstrap_prompt into Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Codex, or Antigravity to anchor the agent's context.

"You are building on TechTalks Kit #1. Read rules and DESIGN.md..."
03

Build with Safety Rails

Your agent generates code aligned with pre-verified skills, DESIGN tokens, and zero plaintext secret policies. Gitleaks and Semgrep catch violations on commit.

Why Trust This

No phantom files, no hallucinated imports, no unverified claims.

AST

Automated CI Security Scanners

Every kit runs Gitleaks to enforce zero-plaintext credential invariants and Semgrep AST scanning on every commit. Insecure patterns fail CI immediately.

RUL

Single-Source Zero-Drift Rules

Rules are written once in Markdown and compiled deterministically into 6 native formats: Cursor MDC, Claude Code, Copilot, Cline, Codex, and Antigravity.

EVL

Published Benchmark Evals

We validate each kit with evals/runner.py against real code scaffolds, asserting model compliance on BOLA, NoSQL injection, and RLS gates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions?

Everything you need to know about TechTalks Stack Kits and security playbooks.

What is a stack kit? ↓

A stack kit is a pre-configured production blueprint combining a modern backend, frontend, and database with pre-wired AI agent rules (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Cline, Codex, Antigravity), runnable starter containers, security invariants, and benchmark evals.

Which agents are supported? ↓

Every kit provides single-source agent rules compiled to 6 native dialects: Cursor (.cursor/rules/*.mdc), Claude Code (CLAUDE.md), GitHub Copilot (.github/copilot-instructions.md), Cline / Roo (.clinerules), OpenAI Codex (CODEX.md), and Antigravity (.agents/rules/*.md).

Is it free and open source? ↓

Yes. TechTalks Stack Kits is released under the permissive MIT License. You can freely clone, modify, and use all kits and security guides in commercial or private projects.

Can I contribute a kit? ↓

Yes! We welcome community contributions. Every new kit must include a valid kit.yaml manifest, starter container, single-source rules, skills, security scanners, and benchmark tasks evaluated by evals/runner.py.

How is this different from a starter template? ↓

Traditional templates only provide source files. A TechTalks Stack Kit includes five unified layers: a physical starter container, transpiled agent rules for 6 AI coding tools, reusable agent skills, an opinionated design system (DESIGN.md), and automated security scanners (Gitleaks + Semgrep).
