This is pretty cool, love seeing more opinionated starter kits that actually focus on developer experience and modern build performance. So many boilerplates get bloated fast.

What stands out is how Cogency tries to balance convention and flexibility, especially the way it handles routing and API hooks without locking you in too hard.

Thanks for the kind words. I actually stripped out most routing recently in favor of a lean, single-loop ReAct core. The last architecture was classic wheel reinvention. It still maintains the light abstractions and modular nodes wired together with simple, explicit logic.

That’s part of why the DX feels tight and fast. Boilerplate was ruthless cut to focus on core reasoning and tool use. Keeps things nimble and maintainable.

Glad the approach resonates! :)
