Starter repo to make AI coding tools follow your CI and tests
An open-source starter repo ties Python linting, tests, and AI-assistant rules together so code from tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot aligns with your team's standards. A detailed write-up shows how instruction files (e.g., AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and .cursor/rules/) guide AI assistants to follow the same conventions enforced in CI, turning them from context-free generators into project-aware contributors; see the overview on [DEV](https://dev.to/humzakt/i-built-a-starter-repo-that-turns-ai-coding-tools-into-senior-engineers-1m76). The repo’s GitHub Actions run Ruff with --fix (auto-committing changes), then pytest, and post PR comments that name the exact test files, classes, and method signatures required for changed sources, with pre-commit hooks and incident runbooks rounding out day-1 guardrails; grab the code at [github.com/humzakt/dev-starter-kit](https://github.com/humzakt/dev-starter-kit).
