Make space for the product work.
Clear service boundaries and useful repository context leave more room for the feature your customer actually needs.
The first product feature often arrives with a second list: a public page, sign-in, account settings, payment state, deployment, and a way to explain the code to the next person. A starter is useful when that foundation is understandable enough to change.
Give each responsibility a home
In Forma, public content belongs in Astro. The application interface belongs in React Router. FastAPI makes authorization and write decisions, while PostgreSQL enforces durable constraints. These boundaries help you find the right place for a feature without requiring every part of the stack to change.
- Keep product rules and the guides that explain them close to the code.
- Run the checks that exercise the behavior you changed, including native forms and permission boundaries.
The same context helps a human teammate and a coding agent: a clear goal, an architecture map, the current changes, and evidence from real checks. Start with a working example, make one deliberate product change, and keep the documentation aligned as the application becomes yours.
