The Pipeline
Three steps.
One source of truth.
1 · Authoring
How projects start
- -Describe the rules in plain language
- -Effortless skills write the rulebook
- -Read it back in RuleSpeak®
Or import an existing system
- -Excel
- -Airtable
- -Notion
- -Knack
- -Google Sheets
- -JSON, YAML, etc.

2 · Rulebook
The universal layer
- -effortless-rulebook.json
- -Schema, relationships, business rules
- -Version controlled
- -Diffable & auditable
3 · Derived Outputs
Database
- -Postgres
- -SQL Server
- -No-SQL
Languages
- -C# · Entity Framework
- -Python · Pydantic
- -TypeScript · Zod
- -Go structs
APIs & Specs
- -REST scaffolding
- -GraphQL schema
- -Swagger & Postman
- -Documentation
Explainability
- -RuleSpeak® narratives
- -Explainer DAG provenance
- -Live Excel workbook
- -OWL · UML · COBOL
Postgres is our most complete substrate: full schema, functions, views, and Row-Level Security all derived from the rulebook.

What a Seed Delivers
A ready-to-clone repo.
Not a template to fill in by hand.
Every seed is a working project with the right tools already installed and wired together for your chosen stack. Clone it, fill in your credentials, run rebuild. Your pipeline is live.
In the repo
- -effortless.json - pre-configured with your transpilers
- -.env.example - connection strings stubbed out
- -rebuild script - runs the full pipeline end-to-end
- -Language project files - .csproj, go.mod, pyproject.toml, etc.
- -CI workflow - pre-wired for GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
After first run
- ✓Live schema source connected
- ✓Postgres DB with matching structure
- ✓Generated classes / types in /generated
- ✓API scaffolding ready to extend
- ✓Docs built and readable
- ✓CI ready to rebuild on every schema change
Getting Started
Three prompts to a
running pipeline.
All you need is Claude Code. The Effortless skills and CLI are open source and free to use.
Add Effortless to Claude Code
Two commands install the Effortless skills. Claude installs the CLI and anything else it needs.
Describe your app, or point at your system
Describe your domain in plain language, or import what you already have from Excel, Airtable and more. Claude writes the rulebook.
Pick your targets and build
Ask for the outputs you need. Postgres, Python, Excel, RuleSpeak® and the rest are derived from the same rulebook, and stay in sync.
Don't see your stack?
The pipeline is composable. If your team uses a source, language, database, or CI tool not listed here, let's talk. We add new transpilers regularly and can build custom combinations for you.
