Every codebase has multiple audiences with different needs:
- π€ Users who want to understand what your project does
- π§βπ» Contributors who need to know how to help
- π οΈ Operators who must deploy and maintain it
- π€ AI Agents that assist with development tasks
- π Build Systems that automate everything
But most codebases only think about one audience. π
The Codebase Interface Initiative provides a set of principles and practices to create better experiences for all your codebase audiences.
π Think of your codebase as a product with multiple users. Treat it as such by providing great experiences for everyone!
