Show HN: Cursor Agent Factory – 5-layer architecture for AI agent systems

1 point

4 months ago

We kept hitting a wall: our Cursor-based AI dev setup was strong on tools but the intention layer—the "why" and values—stayed implicit. So we made it explicit and baked it into the system.

Cursor Agent Factory is a meta-system that generates full AI agent development setups for different stacks. It's built on an axiom layer (we use "love, truth, beauty" as the root) and a 5-layer architecture: Integrity → Purpose → Principles → Methodology → Technical. Every generated project gets agents, skills, knowledge files, templates, and a .cursorrules that includes a Guardian protocol (Wu Wei–style: minimal intervention for alignment). Technical choices are derived from the layers above, not the other way around.
