🎯 The Problem

Every codebase has multiple audiences with different needs:

  • πŸ‘€ Users who want to understand what your project does
  • πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» Contributors who need to know how to help
  • πŸ› οΈ Operators who must deploy and maintain it
  • πŸ€– AI Agents that assist with development tasks
  • πŸš€ Build Systems that automate everything

But most codebases only think about one audience. 😞

✨ The Solution

The Codebase Interface Initiative provides a set of principles and practices to create better experiences for all your codebase audiences.

🌟 Think of your codebase as a product with multiple users. Treat it as such by providing great experiences for everyone!
