Developer tools for simpler local workflows, safer automation, and AI-ready GitHub workspaces.
Base Foundry builds open-source foundations for repository setup, command-line applications, reliable shell automation, and evidence-backed handoffs between people and coding agents.
| If you want to... | Start with |
|---|---|
| Make one or more GitHub repositories explicit, ready, and handoffable | Base — the local operating contract for setup, readiness, trust, and verified pull requests |
| See Base applied to a compact, credible project | Base Demo — the reference Base-managed project and interactive demo |
| Build reliable Click or Typer applications | base-cli — reusable lifecycle, configuration, logging, cleanup, and machine-readable contracts for Python CLIs |
Learn base-cli through a working consumer |
base-cli-demo — the reference consumer and learning application |
| Structure operational scripts that must remain in Bash | base-bash-libs — sourceable libraries for safe execution, logging, files, Git, cleanup, and CLI lifecycles |
Base coordinates repository-owned setup, verification, trust, and handoff
without turning independent projects into a monorepo. base-cli and
base-bash-libs provide reusable foundations for Python and Bash tooling, while
the demo repositories make those boundaries inspectable in working examples.
Across the ecosystem, we favor explicit contracts over hidden workstation state, inspection before mutation, composable tools with narrow ownership, and pull requests backed by reproducible evidence.
- Browse all Base Foundry repositories.
- Follow roadmaps and active work in the public GitHub Projects.
- Ask questions or share ideas in Discussions.
- Report an issue or propose a change in the repository that owns the relevant behavior.
Each repository documents its own setup, support, contribution, release, and license contracts. Start with that repository's README before making changes.
