  "account": "RepoGuard Studio is a platform created to address the challenges posed by AI-assisted engineering, particularly the issue of AI code rot and layer bypassing. With the increasing use of AI coding assistants like Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and Copilot, developers can generate hundreds of lines of code in mere seconds. However, this rapid development process can lead to the introduction of destructive anti-patterns, such as querying databases directly from React components and API route handlers, creating duplicate utility helpers, using any in files to appease compilers, exposing mock credentials, and causing hydration mismatches.\n\nUnlike traditional static text files, RepoGuard Studio stores, structures, and serves architectural guardrails within Sanity's Content Lake using GROQ queries and structured schemas. This approach enables the creation of an Interactive Rules Catalog, allowing users to filter and explore the eight core architectural rules backed by Sanity JSON documents. The platform also features a Multi-AI Context Generator, which enables users to configure their stack (Next.js 15, Prisma, NestJS) and rules to generate tailored guardrails for various AI coding assistants. With just a one-click Copy & Download, users can easily implement these guardrails in their projects.\n\nRepoGuard Studio also provides a Live Architecture Linter Playground, where users can paste code into a browser-based interface and instantly receive an Architectural Health Score (rated from 100/100, Grade A+ to F) based on the audit engine's evaluation. The Sanity GROQ Console allows users to execute real-time GROQ queries against the Sanity dataset (dwzoo40f), providing a powerful tool for exploring and manipulating data. The platform is available for use at https://taylormatematica-beep.github.io/repoguard/ and is accessible via an npm package at https://www.npmjs.com/package/repoguard-rules. The complete code is open-source and available on GitHub at https://github.com/taylormatematica-beep/repoguard, licensed under the MIT license. Users can run the CLI in their terminal with zero installation, starting by auditing their repo architecture score with the command: npx repoguard-rules audit, or generating stack-tailored guardrails with npx repoguard-rules init.",
