Getting started
Install, lacquer init, and lacquer sync a project for the first time.
lacquer
One set of rules, skills, and CI, rendered into every project instead of copy-pasted and left to rot.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”lacquer is a Go CLI plus a set of profile templates that standardize how Claude Code
works across every project in ~/Developer. It renders shared content —
CLAUDE.md rules, skills, commands, CI workflows, git hooks, tool configs — into
each project and tracks how far each project has drifted, so a lesson pinned once
propagates everywhere instead of being copy-pasted and left to rot.
A project opts in per component (a subdirectory) via a .lacquer.toml
manifest. Each component declares one or more profiles; core applies to
every project regardless.
Agent rules
The engineering rules every Claude Code session in a lacquered project inherits — worktrees, TDD, CI hygiene, review gates.
Commands
Full CLI reference: init, onboard, sync, status, audit.
Skills catalog
Every skill that ships in core and each profile, and when it fires.
Built by Patrick Serrano, an iOS engineer building apps under PixelFox Studio. lacquer is the internal tooling that keeps engineering practice consistent across the whole fleet.
