CRAG is a governance compiler for AI-assisted codebases. The premise is simple but genuinely useful: you write one canonical `governance.md` file describing your project's coding standards, security requirements, and AI behavior rules — then CRAG compiles it into 12 target formats simultaneously: GitHub Actions workflows, pre-commit hooks, Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Cline configs, Windsurf rules, Amazon Q Developer settings, and more. As development teams adopt multiple AI coding assistants — which is nearly universal now — maintaining separate rule sets for each tool becomes a synchronization nightmare. A security policy you update in your Cursor rules doesn't automatically propagate to your Copilot instructions or your CI checks. CRAG treats governance as a single source of truth and the tool-specific configs as build artifacts. The compiler is zero-dependency, deterministic, and SHA-verifies each output for auditability. It's early — 8 stars at the time of posting — but the problem it addresses is real and growing in proportion to how many AI coding tools a team runs simultaneously.

Storybook is the standard tool for developing, documenting, and testing UI components in isolation. Supports React, Vue, Angular, and more. Essential for design systems.
Reviewer scorecard
“Maintaining separate .cursorrules, copilot instructions, and CI configs is already a real headache on teams using 3+ AI tools. The single-source-of-truth approach is architecturally correct and the zero-dependency design keeps it lightweight. Early, but the concept is solid — I'd pilot this on a team project immediately.”
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“Each AI coding tool has subtly different semantics for what rules actually do — what a Cursor rule enforces versus what a Copilot instruction suggests are meaningfully different. Compiling from a single source risks giving false confidence that all tools are behaving consistently when they're not. The abstraction may leak badly in practice.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“AI governance tooling is nascent but will be critical infrastructure within 2 years. The pattern of 'define once, compile everywhere' is how we handle configuration drift in infrastructure (Terraform, Ansible) — applying it to AI behavior rules makes sense. CRAG is an early prototype of what will eventually be a standard enterprise workflow.”
“As a solo creator I only use one or two AI coding tools at a time, so the multi-tool synchronization problem doesn't hit me hard enough to add another tool to my workflow. This feels aimed squarely at engineering teams rather than individuals.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
