Free one-pager · STACK
The solo AI-native build OS.
You don’t need more AI tools. You need a stack that refuses fake success — rules, briefs, boundaries, and verification — so one person can ship systems that used to take a vendor chain.
- • Four-layer stack (repo → rules → skills → MCP)
- • Process loop you can run on Monday
- • Hard bans: secrets, fake APIs, auto-send spam

The four layers
| Layer | Job | Without it |
|---|---|---|
| Repo conventions | Where code, docs, and env live | Every project reinvents folders |
| Cursor rules | Taste + safety bans in the IDE | Model invents APIs / skips RLS |
| Repeatable skills | Brief → slice → review → verify | You “just prompt” and hope |
| Least-privilege MCP | Tools with blast-radius limits | OAuth circus + secret leaks |
Process loop
- Brief first — outcome, non-goals, data contract, acceptance, blast radius
- One vertical slice — happy path that proves the system
- Boundary review — what the model must not invent
- Verify — failure path, deploy smoke, rollback trigger
Hard bans
- • Invented APIs or fake provider responses presented as live
- • Shipping auth without RLS / entitlement thinking
- • Committing secrets or flashing `.env`
- • AI sludge in user-facing copy
- • Auto-sending cold outreach without a human gate
