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.

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.

[ WHY_IT_MATTERS ]
01.

Codifies AI-assisted coding into your SDLC so generated code adheres to style, testing, and workflow rules.

02.

Reduces review toil by auto-fixing lint, enforcing test coverage, and giving precise PR guidance.

[ WHAT_TO_TEST ]
  • terminal

    Verify each AI assistant respects AGENTS.md and tool-specific rules by generating changes and checking CI outcomes.

  • terminal

    Confirm CI auto-fix commits are idempotent and that PR test prompts correctly map to changed source files.

[ BROWNFIELD_PERSPECTIVE ]

Legacy codebase integration strategies...

  • 01.

    Adopt incrementally by mapping Ruff/pytest settings to your existing linters/tests and merging the PR Checks workflow.

  • 02.

    Watch for conflicts with current pre-commit and GitHub Actions; stage changes behind branch protection on a pilot repo.

[ GREENFIELD_PERSPECTIVE ]

Fresh architecture paradigms...

  • 01.

    Template new services from the repo to lock in conventions once and propagate them with AI tool configs and CI from day one.

  • 02.

    Use the AI instruction files as part of onboarding so assistants default to your architecture and runbooks.
