Rust off Rails is an opinionated web stack that directs AI agents to write all application code, including Rust, SQL, HTML, CSS, TypeScript and Dockerfiles. Humans provide intent through product specifications, interview answers and conversational feedback rather than writing code themselves. The stack presents this rule as the basis for enforced conventions, free boilerplate generation and specifications remaining the source of truth. Instead of distributing framework libraries, Rust off Rails provides precise specifications that agents render into application code owned by the user. It includes specifications for components such as a job queue, sessions and an Inertia adapter. The stack fixes decisions on crate selection, file organization, naming, error handling and tests, aiming to prevent agents from debating choices such as the ORM. Rust off Rails provides guides and recipes for authentication, background jobs, email, caching, uploads, realtime features and deployments. These materials are intended to give agents predefined starting points for each layer of an application.
