About

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Preconfiguration.com is a project at an early stage. Its engine works: it compiles one spec into the setup files of five platforms, checks the files a repository already has, and proves a setup on a clean machine. A live demo replays it and runs the engine in your browser. The next step is real agents doing real work on the platforms themselves. This site shows where the project stands, gaps included.

Contact

The project would like to hear from:

Teams running AI coding agents, in the cloud in particular, who would like to try the Beta on their own repositories.
Platform and developer-experience engineers who look after many repositories, with a stack, an agent platform or a network setup the project should test.
Anyone with a question about the engine, the demo or the figures on this site.

Write to info@preconfiguration.com.

If you are writing about a setup, it helps to mention the agents you use and where they run (Copilot, Cursor, Codex or others), the languages and services your projects need, how your tests run, and how your network reaches the outside world: a proxy, mirrors, blocked sources.

Live Demo

A small Python service needs PostgreSQL, Redis and its tests before an AI coding agent can do anything useful with it. Six steps show what Preconfiguration does about it, from a draft spec to a proven machine. Every line in the terminal below is what the Alpha printed on the sample repositories, and the two verify runs were recorded on a clean Ubuntu 24.04 container. Under the replay, the Alpha’s own engine runs in your browser. There is nothing to sign up for or install, and nothing you do here leaves this page.

Roadmap

The Alpha proves the design on one Linux machine, with sample repositories and containers standing in for the agent platforms. What comes next runs the generated files on the platforms themselves, with real repositories, then leads to a first release, and after that to the parts a company would pay for. Durations are estimates, and what real repositories turn up could stretch them.

The Alpha

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Alpha is the working prototype of the Preconfiguration engine: one Go program called preconfig, its tests, a few tools and a demo. It reads one short spec, preconfig.yaml, and writes the setup file each platform reads: a dev container, GitHub Copilot’s setup workflow, Cursor’s environment, cloud-init and a plain setup script. It checks the setup files a repository already has, drafts a spec from a repository, and proves a setup on a clean machine.
