01 ยท WHAT WE FED IN

It starts with how TC builds and runs software

Around forty decision records capture how TC builds and ships software: architecture, data, security, testing, cloud deployment, and the design system.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Architecture & APIs

How services are structured, and how they talk.

๐Ÿ—„๏ธ

Data & messaging

Where data lives, and how events flow.

๐Ÿ”’

Security & compliance

Auth, secrets, privacy, OWASP baseline.

โœ…

Testing & quality

What we test, and the bar to pass.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Observability & health

Logging, tracing, and health checks.

๐ŸŽจ

Frontend & design system

Angular and the TC design system.

โ˜๏ธ

Cloud deployment

Ships to our new cloud platform by default, not traditional on-prem.

๐Ÿ“

Coding standards

Conventions, tooling, and docs.

THE FLOW

One request becomes a running app

๐Ÿ“˜

platform-description

The single source of truth

Every standard, decision, ready-made project template, and agent playbook, including how apps deploy to our cloud platform, assembled in one place.

/create-new-app skill

Know-how, packaged

We distilled the blueprint into a single reusable skill, a self contained "how to build a TC app" any agent can pick up.

Built with the skill

TC App Factory

A facade over cloud agents

A simple front door. Behind it, Cursor cloud agents carry the skill and do the work: scaffold, build, test, deploy, to our standards.

Here's the twist: the App Factory itself was bootstrapped with this very skill. It built itself.

A new TC app

Deployed and running

One request in, a standards compliant TC app out, deployed and running on our cloud platform. Like the one just built on this foundation.

↳ And the twist compounds: the App Factory was bootstrapped with the very skill it now runs. It built itself.
THE BIGGER PICTURE

Empowering more people to bring ideas to life.

Write the standards once, then let teams shape new customer experiences safely. An idea can become a running TC app, with the right patterns, quality, and guardrails built in from the start.
