Rationale

This framework was developed by Bloomberg after evaluating the available alternatives and developing a set of guiding principles.

Quick Start

Check out the quick start to learn how to generate a new Stricli application.

Installation

The core Stricli framework is available on npmjs.com, and can be installed with the following command:

npm i --save-prod @stricli/core

AI Assistants

The documentation site publishes an llms.txt index and a full-content llms-full.txt file, following the llms.txt convention.

To give an AI coding assistant accurate, up-to-date context about Stricli, point it at one of these URLs — for example, paste the link into a chat, or reference it from your project's agent instructions (such as AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or .cursor/rules).

Development

Run npm ci to initialize the repo. We use Nx to manage tasks, so you can run the following to build all of the packages at once:

npx nx@latest run-many -t build
