AI Strategy at ShakaCode

We believe AI-assisted development is the most significant shift in software engineering since open source. This site documents how we're navigating it: our governance model, what we've learned from the industry, and the open-source tooling we've built along the way.

Everything here is open source. If you disagree with something, think we're missing something, or have a better approach — open a PR.
