// What We're Building

Zero-Configuration .NET

Koan eliminates the hours of boilerplate setup that every .NET project requires. Entity-first patterns that just work, out of the box.

Community-Driven Development

We're {{repoData.contributors || 2}} core contributors building in public. Your real use cases and feedback directly shape what we build next.

const KoanFramework = "crystallization.inAction()"

Our flagship project demonstrating how crystallization transforms complexity chaos into stable foundations. When teams rebuild the same infrastructure repeatedly, platforms emerge to simplify the chaos.

// Talk to your code naturally
public class Product : Entity<Product>
{
public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
public decimal Price { get; set; }
public string Category { get; set; } = string.Empty;

// All complexity chaos becomes invisible:
// - ID generation, validation, persistence
// - API endpoints, error handling
// - Database setup, health checks
}

// Result: Natural conversation with your code
# Automatically generated REST endpoints
GET /api/products # List all products
GET /api/products/{id} # Get product by ID
POST /api/products # Create new product
PUT /api/products/{id} # Update product
DELETE /api/products/{id} # Delete product

# Plus: OpenAPI docs, validation, error handling, filtering
GET /swagger # Interactive API docs
// Commands and Queries are auto-generated
public class CreateProductCommand : ICommand<Product>
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public decimal Price { get; set; }
}

public class GetProductsQuery : IQuery<IEnumerable<Product>>
{
public string Filter { get; set; }
public int PageSize { get; set; } = 10;
}

// Use them anywhere in your app
var product = await mediator.Send(new CreateProductCommand());
// Events are published automatically
public class ProductCreatedEvent : IDomainEvent
{
public Guid ProductId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public DateTime OccurredAt { get; set; }
}

// Handle events anywhere
public class ProductCreatedHandler : IEventHandler<ProductCreatedEvent>
{
public async Task Handle(ProductCreatedEvent @event)
{
// Send email, update cache, notify services, etc.
}
}

From Complexity Chaos to Stable Foundation

Koan emerged from watching teams repeatedly rebuild identical infrastructure while AI development complexity outpaced their ability to manage it. Instead of fighting configuration chaos, talk to your code.

// Koan Framework Development Roadmap

We're building Koan incrementally, focusing on developer experience and real-world use cases. Every release brings us closer to eliminating .NET complexity chaos.

✅ Core Foundation

Entity-first patterns, auto-registration, multi-provider data access, and zero-configuration setup.

Status: Complete in {{repoData.version || 'v0.2.18'}}

🚧 AI Integration

Vector stores, embeddings, agent endpoints, and RAG patterns built into the framework core.

Status: In Development

🎯 Performance & Scale

Production benchmarks, performance monitoring, advanced caching, and enterprise deployment patterns.

Status: Planned

How We Read Crystallization Signals

Like Polynesian navigators reading wave interference patterns to detect distant islands, we can recognize where developer communities are experiencing repeated pain points.

Heat Buildup Signals
Onboarding time increasing, specialized knowledge bottlenecks
Convergence Patterns
Multiple vendors on similar interfaces, standardization momentum
Timing Strategy
Share feedback early vs wait for stability
