The future of 0toprod.dev: v2 and the Rules-as-Code manifest

The next iteration is less about more templates and more about a common manifest layer that can target multiple agent ecosystems cleanly.

A manifest layer should outlive any one tool

The point of Rules-as-Code is not to pick a permanent winner between tools. It is to define a portable source of truth that can compile into Cursor rules, CLAUDE.md files, Copilot instructions, and future formats.

Operators need one canonical editing surface

If every target format has to be edited separately, the system eventually drifts. A manifest reduces that by giving teams one place to version meaning and many places to render it.

The commercial surface remains productized

Even if the underlying manifest becomes more systematic, the delivery should still feel practical. Buyers want finished packs, scanners, and conversion tools, not abstract governance theory with no path to execution.
