Throughstone v1.0.0
Throughstone v1.0.0 — the first public release. 🧱
Throughstone is an architecture-first project scaffold for building real software with an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, …). You bring a rough idea; the scaffold and your agent turn it into a planned, documented, well-architected project — starting with the architecture, never a mystery box.
What it does
- Think before you code — the first STEP produces architecture docs and decision records (ADRs), no application code, so the foundation is deliberate.
- Decisions get recorded — versioned architecture docs (the what) and ADRs (the why).
- Work in runnable units — phases → steps → substeps, each small enough for an agent to execute cleanly in a fresh context.
- Plain Markdown + a one-time Bash wizard (
init.sh) — nothing to trust but text you can read. - Works with any agent — thin
AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.mdpointers to one canonical context; the whole handoff is a single message: "Read AGENTS.md and follow it." - Solo or team modes, multi-repo or mono-repo layouts, and per-project license stamping.
Also in this release — brand & web presence
- Brand identity: wordmark, logo set, palette, and type system (
brand/BRAND.md). - Landing page live at https://throughstone.org.
- GitHub social preview card.
