I built initrepo out of my own frustrations. AI coding assistants are powerful, but with lack of project context.. you will end up with failing, duplicate, dead and bloated code. Making the necessary context or chaining together perfect prompts is a massive chore.. and can sometimes slow down the exciting journey of having AI write the code for you.

I developed a system that helped me write PRDs, Technical Specs, Design and Task lists in markdown format for my AI coding tools. It was a manual process using gemini gems with specific personas, copy and pasting output and organizing everything.

I was getting ready for a hackathon, making several different projects to give a try for it.. I spent a week making the docs.. and the night before the hackathon started.. it hit me. I knew my system needed to be my next project.. and I began the journey to bring it to life.

The first step for any project.. to initialize a repo and start planning.. and initrepo.com was born.
