The original title is: "GEF: An open-source framework for embedding engineering rules into AI-assisted projects"

Original: I got tired of repeating engineering rules to AI on every project. So I built GEF.

Short summary

A developer built GEF (Guardian Engineering Framework), an open-source project generator that embeds engineering rules directly into projects so AI assistants like Cursor and Windsurf maintain standards. GEF configures GitHub Flow, enforces best practices, and pushes AI to create ADRs and act as a tech lead. Available via npx create-gef on GitHub and NPM.

  • •GEF is an open-source project generator that embeds engineering rules for AI assistants
  • •Configures GitHub Flow, ADRs, and governance so AI follows process not just generates code
  • •Works with Cursor and Windsurf; available via npx create-gef

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
