# Get the Build Kit — Free

## Skip the blank screen. Start with the Build Kit.

The Build Kit is a free, reusable starter repository for building real software with AI — a small AI control layer, the starter files, the guided setup, ready to use. It's how you get from a blank screen to a real first build, without the overwhelm.

## What's in the Build Kit

- A reusable starter repository — duplicate it for every new project. A small AI control layer (`context/`, `rules/`, `documentation/`, `verification/`, `feedback/`) sits over your project's own structure; your source, tests, and packages stay where your stack puts them.
- A guided setup, run by the AI — open the duplicate and type "/start" (or say "where do I begin?") and it walks you through provisioning your project.
- The First-Build Checklist — the five controls, and the checks that turn “it looks done” into “it is done.”
- Works where you already are — Claude Desktop or Claude Code (both free), or any AI tool you like.
