About Vardforge
A shared memory for how we build.
Vardforge is an internal library of canonical reference implementations for the frameworks we use most often. This repository records our preferred SvelteKit patterns in prose and in code.
What it is
A maintained source of decisions and proven examples.
- Standards that apply broadly across projects
- Recipes for capabilities a project may choose to adopt
- Working code where an implementation adds meaningful clarity
What it is not
A preloaded application intended to fit every possible project.
- Not a replacement for the official Svelte CLI
- Not a kitchen-sink collection of speculative dependencies
- Not guidance owned by a particular coding agent or tool
How decisions earn their place
The baseline stays close to a minimal official installation. We add a convention when it helps most projects, and add a dependency only when a current requirement justifies its cost.
Optional capabilities begin as focused recipes. Each recipe explains when to use the capability, when a simpler approach is enough, how Vardforge implements it, and how to verify the result.
