How is Autotomy different from other starter kits?

Autotomy is purpose-built for AI-assisted development with architectural guardrails that AI tools like Cursor and Copilot automatically follow, ensuring code stays clean and maintainable as you ship fast.

Which AI coding tools work with Autotomy?

All major AI coding tools are supported, including Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and Claude. Built-in AI instructions guide these tools to output code that follows the architecture.

When will the Expo Mobile Starter Pack launch?

Currently in waitlist phase with a 15% early bird discount for the first 25 signups. Official launch date not yet announced; join the waitlist for updates.

Can I modify or replace modules after purchase?

Yes. Autotomy is designed for safe replacement—you can swap payment, auth, or any third-party service without affecting other modules or worrying about changes leaking.

Is this suitable for non-technical founders?

Not really. Autotomy is built for technical founders or engineers using AI tools to accelerate development, not a no-code solution. Basic development experience is expected.

Summary

Autotomy is an AI-first starter kit platform offering production-ready codebases with built-in architectural guardrails. It lets you ship apps fast using AI tools while keeping code clean enough to hand off to a real team. Currently focused on Expo Mobile Starter Pack (React Native + TypeScript), with Next.js SaaS and FastAPI Backend kits coming soon.

What is Autotomy?

Autotomy is a purchasable production-grade starter repository designed to work seamlessly with AI coding tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude. It provides pre-defined module boundaries, dependency tiers, and replacement patterns that guide AI-generated code into the right structure automatically. This prevents the spaghetti code problem that typically emerges when using AI to build apps quickly. When you're ready to scale and hire developers, the codebase is already structured the way professional teams expect—no rewrite required.

Core Capabilities

AI guardrail architecture — Built-in rules that AI tools understand, automatically organizing generated code into the right places and patterns
Independent module design — Every feature is isolated; swap payment providers, auth systems, or UI without breaking other parts
Pre-commit checks — Automatic detection of dependency, contract, and type issues before code is committed
Replaceable patterns — Painlessly swap third-party services or redesign screens without changes leaking across modules
Built-in AI instructions — Pre-configured prompts for Cursor, Copilot, and Claude to guide output within architectural boundaries
Expo + React Native — One codebase for iPhone and Android, optimized for fast mobile app delivery

Pros

Ship MVP fast — Use AI tools at full speed while architecture automatically keeps code organized, no cleanup needed
Avoid technical debt — Module boundaries and unit tests prevent changes from affecting shipped features; no more
