What is the BDFL architecture?

The BDFL (Benevolent Dictator for Life) architecture is a standardized, high-performance architectural pattern focusing on strict TypeScript, Effect.ts for error handling, and containerized development.

What platforms can I build with this skill?

This skill supports scaffolding for Web (React + Vite), Mobile (Expo + React Native), and Server (@effect/platform HTTP servers) environments.

Which package manager does this skill use?

It uses pnpm for package management and utilizes Volta to pin specific Node.js and pnpm versions within the project's package.json.

How does it improve my Claude Code workflow?

It sets up custom Claude Code hooks that automatically format and lint files after edits, and runs a full 'verify' command before commits to ensure code integrity.

Does it support containerization?

Yes, it automatically generates a Dockerfile and a dev.sh script optimized for Podman-based local development.

Mobile Development

Bootstraps enterprise-grade full-stack projects using a strict architecture featuring Effect.ts, React, and Podman.

The BDFL Init skill automates the creation of new software projects following a highly opinionated and robust architectural pattern. It scaffolds comprehensive environments including web (React/Vite), mobile (Expo), and server (@effect/platform) components, all pre-configured with strict TypeScript settings and Effect.ts for functional programming. By integrating containerization via Podman and automated Claude Code hooks, it ensures that every project starts with production-ready tooling, consistent formatting, and continuous verification from day one.
