Buildable Plugin Skills

Buildable

Buildable is an open-source, local-first app-builder plugin and skills pack for Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor. It turns a product idea into a scoped app spec, a runnable Next.js or Expo prototype, and a quality review without requiring a hosted platform, backend, or API key.

⭐ Stars are appreciated!

Local-first AI app-builder brain for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.

Buildable gives your coding agent the product intelligence that hosted no-code builders (Lovable, Replit Agent, Base44, Emergent) hide behind their infrastructure — archetypes, golden templates, UI/UX playbooks, and a review loop — so it goes from a vague prompt to a polished prototype, using only a small slice of context per request.

It does not replace your agent or run as a hosted platform. It is a file-based skills/plugin package that runs locally. Buildable is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by those products.

Why Buildable

A raw coding agent starts every app from a blank slate. Hosted builders feel magical because they already know what a "todo app" or "CRM" should contain. Buildable packages that same knowledge locally:

- Runnable starters first — 15 build-verified golden starters for the most common app types, plus 61 archetypes it recognizes and plans, so even the long tail gets a real spec and implementation plan instead of a blank slate.
- Micro-blocks — small reusable UI/product units (filterable table, detail panel, stat-card grid, form, empty state)…
