Show HN: Pairing LLM code generation with traditional templates

Hi, I’ve been exploring Claude 3.5 code generation abilities for a while and it looks like it can generate more consistent code than other models. However it would still be unmaintainable if you ask it to write a lot of code and it still sucks at system design.

So, I’ve been playing around the idea of using the code repository with a template for directory layout and infrastructure, then adding the repository information to Claude and asking it to generate code. It seems that it works, if I pass the structure of some OpenAPI based backend it can update the API definition and implementation pretty consistently. Take a look at the PoC and please share your thoughts about this! I wanted to see if someone else is working on similar idea, I’m open for a chat!
