FAF Context — Give the AI What It Needs
When to Use
Use this skill when you need get your project to 100% ✪ AI-readiness, fast — the AI auto-detects your stack and only asks for what it can't know (your goal and the human "why"). Least typing, maximum context. For time-conscious builders; feeds into faf-expert for depth.
AI writes its best code when it has your project's context. This skill helps you hand it over — fast, and to 100%.
.faf is an IANA-registered context format (application/vnd.faf+yaml) — a typed, portable file you own, readable by any AI (no bespoke manifest, no vendor lock-in). The whole point is one number: AI-readiness, 0–100%. At 100% ✪ the AI starts every session already knowing your project — no re-explaining, no guessing. This skill is the builder's path to that number: minimum typing, maximum context.
For the done-for-you one-click path, use faf-wizard. To master the format, use faf-expert. This skill is the quickstart in between.
How it works: app-type → AI fills the max → you answer the gaps
faf-cli has 21 slots. It works in three steps — and only the last one needs you:
- Your app type sets which slots are required. A CLI needs different slots than a full-stack web app — faf-cli right-sizes the set and
slotignoreds the rest (never counted against you).
- The AI fills as many as it can.
faf auto detects your stack + language, and a sharp goal sentence seeds who/what/where. The better your goal, the more the AI fills for you.
- Whatever's left empty, the AI asks you. Those are the bits only you know — usually a couple of the 6 Ws (often why and when). Answer them → 100% ✪.
So your job isn't "fill 21 boxes." It's: write one good goal, then answer the few questions the AI couldn't fill itself.
(Teams / Enterprise tiers add more slots — monorepos, caching, versioning — but those aren't faf-cli. faf-cli is the 21.)
You rarely type all 6 Ws — here's why
The 6 Ws are "the underivable half" — but you almost never write all six from scratch:
- who / what / where → seeded from your goal sentence (the AI extracts the facts your goal literally states)
- how → sourced from your stack (detection knows how it's built)
- why / when → the only two that are purely yours
So the fast path is: write one sharp goal, confirm the seeds, fill why + when. → 100%.
"Sometimes 3 Ws is enough. Sometimes the goal alone is enough." A great goal sentence + auto-detection can carry who/what/where/how on their own — leaving you two small answers. The better your goal, the less you type.
The fastest path to 100% ✪
faf auto
faf score
faf go
faf score
faf sync
Most projects are 1 good goal sentence + 2 answers away from Trophy.
Write the ONE goal sentence (this does the heavy lifting)
The goal is the generative input — it seeds who/what/where automatically. Make it a real, specific sentence (it's also your use-case):
- ✅ "A CLI that scores any repo's AI-readiness and syncs context to Claude, Cursor, and Gemini — for solo developers."
→ seeds what (a CLI that scores AI-readiness), where (Claude, Cursor, Gemini), who (solo developers). You'd only add why + when.
- ❌ "A tool to improve development." → generic; seeds nothing. (Generic phrases are ignored on purpose — empty beats wrong.)
The 6 Ws — terse labels, not prose
Each W is a 3–4 word label (hard cap < 6) — a scannable spec card, not a paragraph:
| W | Asks | Example |
|---|
| Who | who is it for? | solo developers |
| What | what are they building? | AI-readiness scorer |
| Why | why does it exist? | eliminate context re-explaining |
| Where | where does it run/ship? | npm, Homebrew |
| When | timeline / stage? | production, since 2025 |
| How | how is it built/used? | Bun CLI + WASM |
Slots that don't apply → slotignored
A CLI has no frontend; an API has no UI library. Mark those slotignored and they drop out of the denominator — you're scored only on slots that matter for your app type. 100% means "everything that applies is filled," not "every box checked." (faf auto and faf go handle most of this for you.)
The honesty rule (why this works)
The AI only seeds facts your goal/README literally state — never invents, never uses templates. What it can't source, it leaves empty for you. Empty beats wrong. That's why the resulting context is trustworthy: every slot is either detected, stated by you, or honestly blank.
