Genesis Architect: An AI tool that scaffolds new software projects by researching real GitHub repos and production pitfalls before writing code.

Genesis Architect scans 15-20 real repositories and deeply analyzes top 5-8, then mines their GitHub Issues for production failures to inform the project scaffold, unlike template-based tools (create-t3-app, bolt.new) that generate code from generic patterns.

Every scaffolded project includes RESEARCH.md (linked sources), PITFALLS.md (real failures with mitigations), functional boilerplate with passing tests, and three security gates: secret scanning, SAST (static analysis), and code quality checks that block commits until a smoke test passes.

The tool works across TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Go, and Rust, auto-detects language and project archetype (CLI Tool, Library, Web Service, Frontend App), and can retrofit security into existing projects via `genesis harden` or read a product spec via `--from-prd` to skip initial questions.

Installation is available via Claude Code, skills.sh for any agent, Cursor, or Codex CLI with no build step or dependencies; in development sessions, `genesis help`, `genesis research`, and `genesis check` keep it active as a research partner.
