Getting started

Getting started

Go from an empty project to installed, enforceable architecture guidance.

The shortest useful path is: install the CLI, find a pattern by the problem it solves, inspect its detail page and source, then add a pinned version to your project.

patterns find "backend features organized by use case"
patterns add mimrai-org/patterns-seed/patterns/vertical-slice-use-case#vertical-slice-use-case-v0.2.0
patterns check

patterns add copies the bundle into .patterns/, records its Git origin, installs the generic consume skill, and updates supported agent-instruction files. It does not touch src/.

Install the CLI

Install @mimrai/patterns once with npm, pnpm, or Bun.

Add your first pattern

Evaluate trust, pin a version, and verify the installation.

patterns documentation

Find, evaluate, install, enforce, author, and publish reusable software-architecture guidance.

Install the CLI

Install the deterministic, LLM-free patterns command from npm.
