Three Clear Starting Points for AI Work
Project Builder plans new software, Core strengthens existing repositories, and Agent Setup Builder personalizes and applies an OpenClaw or Hermes setup.
Lattice Project Builder
Paid PlansStart new projects in minutes, not hours. Describe what you're building, get a complete plan with PROJECT_GUIDE.md, tech stack, CI/CD workflows, and a custom setup command.
How Lattice Project Builder Works
PROJECT_GUIDE.md
Complete architecture document with milestones, requirements, and technical decisions.
CI/CD Workflow Automation
GitHub Actions workflow that runs verify on every push. Quality gates from day one.
Custom Bootstrap Command
A single npx command that sets up your entire project with all configurations.
Basic Planning Mode
Fast single-pass generation. Great for straightforward projects.
Pro Planning Mode
Multi-model AI deliberation. Deeper analysis for complex projects.
Includes Lattice Core
Every Project Builder project includes full Lattice Core setup with guardrails and verification.
Lattice Core
Free ForeverAdd AI guardrails to any existing project. One command generates AGENTS.md, editor-specific rules, portable Agent Skills, verification commands, MCP templates, and repo safety workflows that keep your AI assistant up to date.
Run in any project directory. Lattice Core auto-detects your stack.
One Setup Command
Run `npx latticeai` to detect your stack and apply AGENTS.md, Cursor rules, Claude rules and skills, Copilot instructions, Codex guidance, and MCP templates.
AI Editor Support
Generates .cursor rules, .cursor/mcp.json, AGENTS.md, docs/rules/codex.md, .agents skills, CLAUDE.md, .claude rules and skills, .claude/settings.json, and GitHub Copilot instruction files so Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex run with aligned guardrails.
Version-Aware Rules
Injects your exact stack versions into AI context. Prevents AI from using outdated APIs.
Verify Command
Run `npx latticeai verify` or `npm run verify` for the standard quality loop. Add `--full` for complete validation.
Watch Mode
Run `npm run verify -- --watch` to continuously check your code as you make changes.
Status & Drift Detection
Run `npx latticeai status`, `npx latticeai drift`, or `npx latticeai doctor --agents` to review project health, compliance score, and generated file drift.
Cross-Platform
Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Tested across all platforms in CI.
Auto-Update Rules
Run `npx latticeai update` to refresh rules while preserving your customizations.
Prompt Templates
Get 6 AI playbooks: feature, bugfix, refactor, test, polish, and security.
Lattice Agent Setup Builder
$29 one-time setupCompare OpenClaw and Hermes Agent, preview the runtime-specific files Lattice will create, and unlock a guided installer. Credentials stay in the selected runtime's official setup.
Choose the Runtime
Compare where each runtime fits, how personalization works, and which ongoing ecosystem applies.
Preview the Setup
Review agent identity, safety defaults, selected workflows, generated files, and your remaining responsibilities.
Install and Verify
Use a double-click Windows launcher or one macOS/Linux command, then follow explicit install, configuration, connection, and verification stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Lattice Core and Lattice Project Builder?
Core is free and hardens existing projects with AGENTS.md, editor-specific rules, portable Agent Skills, MCP templates, verification, drift detection, and security workflows. Project Builder is paid and generates complete project plans for new projects. Project Builder includes Core automatically, so you get both when you use Project Builder.
Do I need both Core and Project Builder?
No. If you have an existing project, use Core (free). If you're starting a new project, use Project Builder (paid, includes Core). You can't use Project Builder on existing projects-it generates everything from scratch.
Is Agent Setup Builder part of Project Builder or Core?
No. Agent Setup Builder is a separate $29 one-time product for one personalized OpenClaw or Hermes Agent setup. Project Builder credits and subscriptions do not unlock agent setups, and OpenClaw Packs apply only to OpenClaw projects.
Does Agent Setup Builder collect my provider or channel credentials?
No. Lattice generates the runtime-specific setup and installer, but you enter provider keys, OAuth approvals, and messaging-channel credentials directly in OpenClaw or Hermes official setup.
What tech stacks does Lattice support?
Core works with any JavaScript/TypeScript project: Next.js, React, Vue, Node.js, Expo, React Native, and more. Project Builder can generate projects for web (Next.js), mobile (Expo), and API projects.
How do the production-ready bundles work?
Bundles are pre-configured, version-pinned stacks like Next.js SaaS, Expo Mobile, Next.js Landing, Next.js + tRPC, and Expo + Supabase. Use them with `npx latticeai setup --bundle <id>`. They're tested and production-ready out of the box.
Can I use Lattice Core without an account?
Yes! Core works entirely locally with no account required. Just run `npx latticeai` in your project. You only need an account for Project Builder (project planning).
What AI editors does Lattice support?
Core supports Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex by generating both human-readable and structured guardrails (.cursor/rules.md, .cursor/rules/lattice-core.mdc, .cursor/mcp.json, AGENTS.md, docs/rules/codex.md, .agents/skills/lattice-verify/SKILL.md, CLAUDE.md, .claude/rules/lattice-core.md, .claude/skills/lattice-verify/SKILL.md, .claude/settings.json, .mcp.json, .github/copilot-instructions.md, and .github/instructions/lattice-core.instructions.md).
