🤖 AI Summary

**faf-wizard** auto-generates a `.faf` context file for any codebase by detecting the tech stack, scoring project readiness, and outputting a ready-to-use AI context file with a single command.

How to Install

This skill comes from a community source.

FAF Wizard - One-Click AI Intelligence

The pit crew for your projects. Point it at any codebase and get scored, AI-ready context in 60 seconds.

Transform any project - new, legacy, famous OSS, or forgotten side projects - into an AI-intelligent workspace with persistent context that works across all AI tools.

The Problem It Solves

Even React.js scores 0% AI-readiness. Famous repositories have no AI context.

What Exists What It Tells AI
README.md "What this does" (for humans)
docs/ "How to use it" (for humans)
project.faf "How to help build this" (for AI)

Documentation tells humans how to use your code. AI context tells AI how to help you build it. They're completely different things.

Works on ANY Project

Project Type What FAF Wizard Does
Brand new Perfect AI context from line one
Legacy nightmare AI finally understands the archaeology
Famous OSS Even React doesn't have this
Side projects Stop re-explaining every session
Client handoffs Portable context for any AI tool
Team projects Shared context that everyone can use

Real Success Stories

Before/After: Legacy E-commerce Platform

Before: "This 50k-line PHP codebase from 2015..."
AI: "I don't understand this architecture"

After: 60 seconds with FAF Wizard
AI: "I see this is a Laravel-based e-commerce system with 
payment processing, inventory management, and multi-tenant 
architecture. Here's how I can help..."

Before/After: Modern React App

Before: Every AI session starts with context explanation
Time lost: 5-10 minutes per session

After: project.faf exists
AI: Instant understanding, productive from message one
Time saved: 2+ hours per day

The 60-Second Workflow

Step 1: Detection (10 seconds)

faf auto
# Scans manifest files, directory structure, dependencies
# Detects: React + TypeScript + Tailwind + Vercel

Step 2: Generation (30 seconds)

# Auto-generated project.faf
project:
  name: my-saas-dashboard  
  goal: Customer analytics platform

stack:
  frontend: react-18
  css: tailwind
  deployment: vercel

human_context:
  who: Solo founder
  what: SaaS analytics dashboard
  why: Customer insights for small businesses

Step 3: Scoring & Report (20 seconds)

✅ Generated: project.faf
🏆 AI-Readiness: 87% Bronze - Production ready

Filled: 9/11 active slots
Ignored: 22 slots (not applicable)

To reach Silver (95%):
  + Add API documentation (+5%)  
  + Define deployment details (+3%)

Performance Data (Real Numbers)

Analyzed 8,400+ Projects: - ✅ 99.2% detection accuracy across 153+ formats - ✅ Average generation time: 12.3 seconds - ✅ Bronze tier or higher: 94% of projects - ✅ Zero manual configuration: Works out of the box

Format Support

Automatically detects and configures: - JavaScript: React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Next.js, Nuxt - Python: Django, Flask, FastAPI, Jupyter, Poetry - TypeScript: All JS frameworks + native TS projects
- Rust: Cargo projects, CLI tools, web servers - Go: Modules, Docker, microservices - Java: Maven, Gradle, Spring Boot - +147 more formats

Universal Compatibility

Works With Every AI Tool

  • Claude Code - Reads .faf natively
  • Cursor - Auto-syncs to .cursorrules
  • Gemini CLI - Converts to GEMINI.md
  • Windsurf - Syncs to .windsurfrules
  • ChatGPT - Readable YAML format
  • Any AI - Universal format support

Migration Support

Already have AI context files?

# Migrates existing context
faf migrate --from .cursorrules
faf migrate --from CLAUDE.md  
faf migrate --from README.md

# One format, works everywhere
faf sync --target all

Installation Options

Option 1: CLI (Recommended)

npm install -g faf-cli
cd your-project
faf auto

Option 2: MCP Server (Claude Code)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "faf": {
      "command": "npx", 
      "args": ["-y", "claude-faf-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Option 3: Browser Extension

Install from Chrome Web Store - works on any Git repository.

Three-Phase Intelligence

Phase 1: Stack Detection

  • Scans package.json, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, etc.
  • Analyzes directory structure and file patterns
  • Identifies frameworks, deployment targets, testing setup

Phase 2: Context Mining

  • Extracts project description from README
  • Identifies architecture patterns from code structure
  • Pulls dependency information for AI context

Phase 3: Optimization

  • Generates focused 33-slot IANA format
  • Validates against format specification
  • Scores AI-readiness with improvement suggestions

Success Metrics by Project Type

Project Type Avg Score Time to Bronze Detection Rate
React/Vue 89% Instant 9
