What MCAF Is

MCAF is a framework for building software products together with AI coding agents.

It defines how to:

keep all relevant context in a single repository describe work clearly before coding use integration/API/UI tests, containerized environments, and static analysis as hard gates encode repository-specific rules for AI agents in AGENTS.md at the repo root The goal of MCAF:

Use AI to build real products in a way that is predictable, safe, and repeatable. MCAF has three core elements:

Context — code, tests, documentation, and AGENTS.md live together in the repository. Verification — behaviour and code quality are proven by automated tests and static analysis, not opinions. Instructions — AGENTS.md defines how AI agents work in this repo and how they learn from feedback. This Guide defines the framework. The root AGENTS.md in each repository applies it to that codebase.
