Can I use this for existing projects?

Yes, Outfitter Start features a migration workflow that scans your existing codebase and generates a phased adoption plan to integrate Outfitter patterns.

Does it automatically change my code during migration?

It generates a structured plan (SCAN.md and stages/) and provides guided steps, but the developer or the AI agent executes the actual conversion stages to ensure safety.

How does it improve error handling?

It maps existing 'throw' statements to a standardized Result taxonomy, replacing unpredictable exceptions with explicit error types for better type safety.

What presets are available for new projects?

It currently supports CLI, MCP (Model Context Protocol), daemon, and minimal presets to jumpstart various project types.

What is the Outfitter Stack?

It is a Bun-first infrastructure pattern focusing on Result types, structured logging, and standardized error taxonomies for robust application development.

Productivity & Workflow

Scaffolds new Bun-based projects and orchestrates phased adoption of Outfitter infrastructure patterns in existing codebases.

Outfitter Start is a comprehensive lifecycle tool for the Outfitter Stack, designed to streamline both greenfield project creation and brownfield migrations. It intelligently detects project context to suggest architectural presets like CLI, MCP, or daemon services, and provides a structured, multi-stage migration workflow for existing repositories. By automating codebase scanning and generating detailed adoption plans, it ensures consistent implementation of Result types, error taxonomies, and logging patterns across your development environment, integrating seamlessly with other Outfitter tools for compliance and verification.
