PRE-RELEASE — NOT FOR SALE

Status: Foundation in development. This page positions the product. The kit ships as versioned files — there is no download here yet; sales open only once the legal and tax preparation is complete.

Why it is more than a template

A template is a starting point. This is a continuing system.

Templates give you blank structure. The AI Founder Kit holds living state: what was decided, what is in progress, what is verified, and what should happen next — so a new session, or a new model, continues instead of starting over.

What it answers

The questions a project keeps asking.

What is the AI Founder Kit?

A structured operating layer for the project itself — the files that hold what you are building, what was decided, and what to do next.

What problem does it solve?

Context, decisions and task history scatter across chats and get lost between sessions. The kit keeps them in one durable place.

How does a human start?

A START_HERE_FOR_HUMAN file explains where the project stands and the next best action — no archaeology required.

How does the AI start?

A START_HERE_FOR_AI file gives an agent its context, rules and priorities before it touches anything.

How are decisions saved?

A Founder Decision Log captures decisions that must not be lost, outside of chat history.

How do tasks and handoffs work?

Scoped task templates make work routable; handoff files preserve results across sessions and models.

Who is it for?

Solo founders and small teams running a real project with AI assistance who keep re-explaining their own context.

Who is it not for?

Anyone wanting a one-off prompt collection, or a finished SaaS dashboard — neither is what this is.

What is actually inside · v1.0

The real files you add to your project.

These are the exact filenames that ship in v1.0 — not screenshots of an app. No file contents are reproduced here, and there is no download yet.

AI Founder Kit Organizes the project.

Entry points

START_HERE_FOR_HUMAN.md Where the project stands and the next best action.
START_HERE_FOR_AI.md The first file an agent reads — context, rules, priorities.

Project memory

PROJECT_CONTEXT.md What/who/why and the constraints that frame decisions.
PRODUCT_STRATEGY.md Positioning, scope and priorities.
FOUNDER_DECISIONS.md Append-only decision memory, kept out of chat history.

Working state

PROJECT_STATUS.md The verified current state.
ACTIVE_TASKS.md Scoped tasks in flight, with allowed files and a definition of done.
ROADMAP.md Phased plan of now / next / later.
NEXT_BEST_ACTION.md A single, unambiguous next step.

Guard rails & history

QUALITY_GATES.md The bar a change must clear to be "done".
STOP_RULES.md Hard conditions under which work pauses instead of guessing.
HANDOFF_LOG.md Append-only timeline of completed work.
templates/ Task, handoff, decision, status, roadmap and QA report formats.

Real preview

What a filled-in project context looks like.

A limited excerpt from the fictional FeedbackPing sample project — how the file reads once it is filled in for a real project.

PROJECT_CONTEXT.md Excerpt

Project: FeedbackPing — a lightweight feedback tool for appointment-based businesses
Primary goal: Ask one good question after each appointment and see the answers in one place
Current stage: Pre-launch — the first real-world test is next
Users: Small service businesses, e.g. a two-person bike repair shop
Constraints: One founder, a few evenings per week, running cost near zero
Protected areas: The data schema changes only with explicit approval
Definition of success: Setup in under five minutes; at least half of the prompts get an answer

Fictional sample project — no real people or companies.

The project context survives outside individual chats — every session and every AI tool starts from the same state.
