Assemble by Cohesium AI generates native configuration files for 21 AI coding platforms simultaneously — Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cline, Roo Code, and 15 others — deploying 34 specialized agent personas and 15 orchestrated workflows in roughly two minutes. Commands like `/feature`, `/bugfix`, `/review`, and `/security` are wired across all platforms from a single configuration step. The output is pure static files with zero runtime dependencies, no server calls, and no lock-in. It's MIT-licensed and completely free. The project identifies a real pain point: developers who use multiple AI coding tools spend significant time maintaining consistent agent behavior across them, and Assemble collapses that overhead to a one-time setup. With 21 supported platforms at launch, Assemble covers essentially the entire current-generation AI coding assistant ecosystem. The static-file-only approach is a deliberate architectural choice that makes it auditable and deployable in air-gapped environments.

React Doctor is a one-command static analysis tool that scans your React codebase and outputs a health score from 0 to 100 alongside a detailed diagnostic report. Run `npx react-doctor@latest .` and it identifies anti-patterns across six dimensions: state & effects, performance, architecture, security, accessibility, and dead code. It auto-detects your framework (Next.js, Vite, React Native) and React version, adjusting rules accordingly. The tool was built by Million.co—the team behind the Million.js performance library—and is clearly aimed at the post-AI-coding era. Its killer feature might be the "agent instruction installation" mode: it teaches Claude Code, Cursor, and other coding agents the project's quality rules, so future agent-written code conforms to them before React Doctor even runs. It also integrates with GitHub Actions and can post PR comments with health score diffs, making it easy to catch regressions before merge. With 8.7K stars and one of today's fastest-growing GitHub repos, the timing is perfect. Developers are increasingly shipping agent-written React code they didn't review line by line, and React Doctor fills the gap. It's MIT-licensed, requires no config to get started, and the CI integration takes about five minutes to set up.
Reviewer scorecard
“Maintaining consistent agent configs across Cursor, Claude Code, and Cline manually is genuinely tedious. The fact that this generates native files with zero runtime dependencies makes it auditable and deployable anywhere — including strict enterprise environments that ban external service calls.”
“The GitHub Actions integration with PR health score diffs is the feature I didn't know I needed. Installing it took three minutes and immediately flagged three useEffect anti-patterns Cursor introduced last week.”
“Static config generation is useful until the AI coding platform ecosystem fragments further — and it will. Each platform update can invalidate your configs, making this a maintenance liability rather than a one-time setup. The '2 minute' claim also glosses over the customization work needed to actually tune 34 agents for your specific codebase.”
“Static analysis for React isn't new—ESLint with react-hooks/exhaustive-deps, Biome, and others already catch most of these patterns. The 'health score' framing may encourage false confidence if teams focus on the number rather than the individual findings.”
“The polyglot AI coding environment is the new normal. Developers routinely switch between multiple AI assistants depending on task — Assemble's approach of treating multi-tool config as a solved problem rather than ongoing maintenance is the right mental model for 2026.”
“Teaching agents the rules upfront rather than fixing their output afterward is the right architectural direction. As agent-written code becomes the norm, tools that close the feedback loop at the prompt level will be as important as compilers.”
“For design engineers who hop between creative and coding contexts, having consistent AI agent personas across every tool eliminates the jarring personality shifts that break flow. The `/review` workflow for design system PRs is immediately useful.”
“For designer-developers who use Cursor or v0 to prototype quickly, this is a sanity check that doesn't require deep React expertise. A green health score before shipping is a meaningful confidence boost.”
