Plan AI Projects, Add Coding Guardrails,
and Set Up Agents
Choose the starting point that matches the work. Plan a new software project, add guardrails to an existing repository, or create a personalized OpenClaw or Hermes Agent setup with a guided installer and honest verification stages.

This sample is a real Project Builder-style guide for a scheduling SaaS. It shows the architecture decisions, milestones, guardrails, and verification contract that keep coding agents on the same plan.
# Product Goal Launch a multi-tenant scheduling SaaS for service teams. ## Locked Stack - Next.js 16 App Router + TypeScript strict - Supabase Auth + PostgreSQL with RLS - Stripe subscriptions with webhook reconciliation - Jest + React Testing Library ## Non-Negotiable Guardrails 1. Never expose service-role credentials to the browser. 2. Verify Stripe webhook signatures before processing events. 3. Run lint, typecheck, tests, and production build before release. ## Milestone 1: Trusted Foundation - Create auth boundaries and tenant-aware database policies - Add subscription state reconciliation - Ship a tested booking workflow

Starting a New Project?
Use Lattice Project Builder to go from idea to ready-to-code in minutes. Describe what you're building, then get your PROJECT_GUIDE.md, tech stack, AI rules, CI workflows, release handoff contract, and custom setup command.
- AI project planning (Basic & Pro modes)
- PROJECT_GUIDE.md generation
- CI/CD workflow automation
- Feature agent + Release Manager workflow
Have an Existing Project?
Use Lattice Core to add AI guardrails to what you already have. One command generates modern agent instructions, verification commands, and repo safety workflows that keep Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex aligned with your real stack.
- One setup command
- AGENTS.md + editor rules
- Verify, watch, drift, security
- Works with Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex
Setting Up a Personal AI Agent?
Use Agent Setup Builder to compare OpenClaw and Hermes, personalize the right runtime, and unlock a guided, runtime-specific installer.
- OpenClaw or Hermes Agent
- Personalized runtime files and safe defaults
- Double-click Windows launcher
- Install, configure, connect, and verify stages
How It Works
Three steps. Five minutes. Ready to code.
Describe in Project Builder
Fill out one form in Lattice Project Builder: what you're building, project type, key decisions (auth, database, UI style).
AI Builds the Plan + Guardrails
Lattice AI creates your PROJECT_GUIDE.md, stack plan, AI rules, CI workflows, and guardrails. Supported combinations also get scaffolded setup files.
Run One Command
Copy your custom command and run it in terminal. Lattice applies the guide, rules, config, and any scaffolded files included for your stack.
Create New Project
Tell us what you want to build. We'll generate the plan, guardrails, and setup package your AI can use.
Fast single-pass generation
Multi-model deliberation
Generated Setup Without Hidden Ownership
Lattice prepares a reviewable starting point. You keep control of the code, credentials, infrastructure, and final production decisions.
What Lattice Prepares

Without Lattice, you...
- Guess at tech stack compatibility
- Manually configure linting, TypeScript, CI
- Write custom rules for your AI assistant
- Hope you got the architecture right
With Lattice, you...
- Fill out one form (what you're building)
- Get your complete project plan
- Paste one command
- Start coding with AI that knows exactly what to build
Early Builder Feedback
"I used to spend my entire first day just setting up the project. Now I describe what I'm building in Project Builder, run a command, and I'm coding in under 10 minutes. The AI rules Lattice Core generates are exactly what I would have written myself - except I didn't have to."
"The Pro Planning mode is insane. I described a mobile app idea, and Project Builder came back with a full architecture, milestone breakdown, and even caught edge cases I hadn't thought of. Worth every penny for the time it saves."
Names are shortened for customer privacy.
Built by the Lattice founder, a solo developer who got tired of spending the first day of every project on setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lattice?
Lattice has three products. Project Builder plans new software projects. Lattice Core adds version-aware AI coding guardrails to existing repositories. Agent Setup Builder creates a personalized, runtime-specific setup and guided installer for OpenClaw or Hermes Agent.
How long does Lattice take to scaffold a project?
A Project Builder draft usually takes a few minutes to complete, generation typically takes seconds to a few minutes, and the final setup time depends on the selected stack and the files you review. Agent Setup is a separate flow because runtime installation and official provider authorization require customer input.
Is Lattice Core really free?
Yes. Lattice Core is free forever. The published CLI adds version-aware guardrails, AGENTS.md, Codex guidance, Cursor rules, CLAUDE.md, Claude settings, Copilot instructions, verification commands, and repo safety workflows to existing projects. Lattice Project Builder, which plans and scaffolds new projects, requires a paid purchase or subscription.
What AI coding assistants does Lattice support?
Lattice generates custom rules and guardrails for Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex. It can also scaffold projects for Next.js, Expo, and Node.js tech stacks.
What does Lattice Project Builder generate?
Lattice Project Builder generates a PROJECT_GUIDE.md with architecture decisions and milestones, a compatible stack plan, provider-specific AI rules, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and a setup command. It also adds a versioned multi-agent release workflow with feature and Release Manager roles, a JSON handoff contract, and explicit owner gates. Supported stack combinations get scaffolded files; unsupported providers get setup notes instead of silent substitutions.
Who is Lattice built for?
Lattice is built for solo founders, indie developers, CS students, and self-hosted agent users who want the plan, generated files, setup boundaries, and verification steps to remain visible and reviewable.
What does the Agent Setup Builder include?
One $29 Agent Setup includes a personalized OpenClaw or Hermes setup, a runtime-specific installer, and stage-by-stage checks. You enter provider and channel credentials directly in the runtime's official setup. Hosting, model usage, credentials, custom integrations, and ongoing operation are separate.
