Refoundation status: Mandu v0.x is an early beta. The Agent-Safe product contract is the accepted v1 direction; typed apply and the full reliability gates are still being implemented. See the strategy and execution plan.

Why Mandu?

AI can write code fast. The hard part is keeping the app understandable after many changes.

Mandu combines a focused fullstack runtime with contracts, architecture guardrails, and a controlled agent workflow so people and agents can change code without losing a valid project state.

The short version: Mandu is for developers who delegate real changes to AI agents but still own architecture and release quality.

Start in One Minute

bunx @mandujs/cli create my-app --yes
cd my-app
bun install
bun run dev

Open http://localhost:3333.

Want the realtime chat starter?

bunx @mandujs/cli create my-chat --template realtime-chat --yes

Prefer installing a reusable mandu command first?

# Linux / macOS
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/konamgil/mandu/main/install.sh | sh

# Windows PowerShell
iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/konamgil/mandu/main/install.ps1 -useb | iex

Then run mandu create my-app --yes.

Make a Page

Create app/page.tsx:

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <main>
      <h1>Hello from Mandu</h1>
      <p>Edit this file and the page updates instantly.</p>
    </main>
  );
}

Make an API Route

Create app/api/hello/route.ts:

export function GET() {
  return Response.json({ message: "Hello from Mandu" });
}

Visit http://localhost:3333/api/hello.

Project Shape

my-app/
|-- app/          # Pages, layouts, and API routes
|-- src/
|   |-- client/  # Browser-side code
|   |-- server/  # Server-side code
|   `-- shared/  # Contracts, types, and shared utilities
|-- spec/         # Contracts, slots, and architecture metadata
`-- .mandu/       # Generated output

You can start simple with just app/. Add contracts, slots, and guard rules when the app grows.

Built for Agents

Mandu is designed for codebases that AI agents will actively edit.

• The CLI can scaffold routes, APIs, contracts, and project structure.
• Guard rules catch architecture drift before it spreads.
• MCP tools and Mandu skills give agents project-aware actions instead of blind text edits.
• Release checks help keep generated code reviewable.
