I’m mulling over an idea for a development tool and wanted to get your take.
A visual builder that lets you step-by-step configure exactly what you need for a project, saving snippets as you go, and then compiles everything into a clean, single plugin boilerplate or functions.php.
A Workflow Example:
Define CPTs: Enter variables for Custom Post Type and Save.
Define Taxonomies: Link to CPT and Save.
Define Components: Add 2 custom widgets and Save.
Generate: Hit build and get a beautifully structured, lightweight, vanilla PHP boilerplate.
The Elephant in the Room: “Can’t AI do this?”
Yes, an AI agent or modern IDE can spit out a CPT in seconds. But we’ve all been there: AI hallucinates hooks, messes up text domains, or introduces bloated patterns.
The Pivot: This tool isn’t just a generator; it’s a deterministic sanitizer for boilerplate code. It guarantees 100% strict architectural compliance, zero hallucinations, and exact naming conventions every single time.
