# Driven - AI-Assisted Development Orchestrator

Professional AI-assisted development with binary-first architecture (.) (.) (.) Driven brings structure, consistency, and intelligence to AI-powered coding workflows by combining template-driven approaches with methodical frameworks, reimagined in Rust with DX's binary-first philosophy for unparalleled performance.

## Overview

Driven solves the fragmentation problem in AI-assisted development. Instead of maintaining separate rule files for each editor: -`.cursor/rules/*.mdc` (Cursor) -`.github/copilot-instructions.md` (Copilot) -`.windsurf/rules/*.md` (Windsurf) -`CLAUDE.md` (Claude) -`.aider.conf.yml` (Aider) -`.clinerules` (Cline) Driven provides a single source of truth that synchronizes to all editors.

## Features

### Core Functionality

- Universal Parser: Reads all major AI rule formats
- Multi-Target Emitter: Outputs to any editor format
- Template System: Professional, battle-tested templates
- Context Intelligence: Deep project analysis for AI guidance
- Sync Engine: Keep multiple editors in sync
- Validation & Linting: Ensure rule quality and consistency

### DX Binary Dawn (December 2025)

- Binary Module: DX ∞ infinity format (73% smaller), zero-copy schemas, SIMD tokenizer, Blake3 checksums
- Fusion Module: Pre-compiled `.dtm` templates, hot cache (71x faster), binary cache, speculative loading
- Streaming Module: HTIP delivery, XOR patcher (95% bandwidth savings), ETag negotiation
- Security Module: Ed25519 signing, capability manifests, integrity guard, sandbox
- State Module: Dirty-bit tracking, shared rules, snapshots, atomic sync
- CLI Commands: Sign, Benchmark, Cache management

## Installation

```bash


# From source


cargo install --path crates/driven


# Or add to your project


cargo add driven ```


## Quick Start


```bash

# Initialize driven in your project

driven init

# Interactive setup

driven init -i

# Sync rules to all editors

driven sync

# Watch mode (auto-sync)

driven sync --watch

# Analyze project for context

driven analyze

# Validate rules

driven validate ```

## Configuration

`.driven/config.toml`:
```toml
[editors]
cursor = true copilot = true windsurf = false claude = false aider = false cline = false
[sync]
source_of_truth = ".driven/rules.drv"
watch = true debounce_ms = 500
[templates]
project = "rust-workspace"
personas = ["architect"]
standards = ["rust-idioms"]
[context]
auto_detect = true index_on_save = true ```

## Library Usage

```rust
use driven::{DrivenConfig, RuleSet, Editor};
// Load rules let rules = RuleSet::load(".driven/rules.drv")?;
// Emit to specific editor rules.emit(Editor::Cursor, ".cursor/rules/")?;
// Sync to all configured editors let config = DrivenConfig::load(".driven/config.toml")?;
let engine = SyncEngine::new(&config);
engine.sync(".")?;
// Validate rules let result = driven::validation::validate(&rules.as_unified())?;
if !result.is_valid() { eprintln!("Validation failed: {:?}", result);
}
```
