How It Works

Rules defined once.
Applied exactly
where they matter.

Your architecture decisions are invisible to AI agents by default. Straion makes them enforceable at the plan stage, before a single line is written, and beyond.

■ The Flow

Step by step, from standard to shipped

Every task an AI coding agent touches follows the same path: plans are created, the applicable rules are selected, validated against, and enforced. Built for scale, teams can customize this workflow or plug it into their existing process.

  1. Standards are imported and stored as structured rules

    Lead engineers, architects, and compliance teams use Straion's import mechanisms to add their engineering standards into one central rule hub. Rules are stored as structured policies built to be evaluated by agents: version controlled, permission controlled, and ranging from security guidelines to coding best practices. This replaces scattered CLAUDE.md files, repo-level prompts, and wiki pages that agents never reliably read.

  2. When a task starts, Straion retrieves only the relevant rules

    Context signals like team, repository, tech stack, and change type determine which rules are active for this task. A backend engineer adding a new API route gets authentication and rate limiting rules. A frontend engineer updating a component gets accessibility and design-library rules. Neither gets the other's noise.

    Context signals used for rule selection

    Team

    backend, frontend, platform, mobile

    Repository

    api-service, web-app, shared-lib

    Stack

    Go, Node, Python, React

    Task type

    new feature, refactor, bugfix

  3. Straion validates the plan, surfaces precise fixes, and re-checks the result

    Before any code is written, the agent proposes a plan. Straion checks it against the retrieved rules. If the plan violates a rule (missing an auth check, skipping the repository pattern, bypassing a required abstraction) it's rejected and adjusted before a single line is written. Correcting intent costs one prompt; correcting code costs a review cycle. Every flag includes the rule that triggered it, where the problem is, and what to do: not "this may have a security issue" but "Route /api/users/export is missing auth.Require(), add it before handler registration."

  4. Code changes are checked

    After code is written, Straion analyzes the changes again. This catches issues that are hard to spot at the plan stage: a missing pagination boundary, a response that leaks PII, a query pattern that won't scale.

■ In practice

What this looks like in the terminal

A rule carries the metadata Straion matches on. find-rules takes a proposed change and returns the rules that apply to it.

rule definition in Straion
{
"statement": "MUST NOT enable compiler-specific language extensions.",
"meta": {
"tags": ["build", "portability"],
"languages": ["cpp"]
}
}
find-rules call
$ straion find-rules
--title "feat: add configurable alert threshold for over-temperature detection"
--body "The TMP116 alert pin fires when temperature crosses a high or low limit, but the driver only exposes raw reads. The host MCU needs an over-temperature interrupt instead of polling I2C. Proposed API: tmp116.setHighLimit(250.0f) and tmp116.setAlertCallback(...). Acceptance criteria: write the limit registers via the existing I2C abstraction, distinguish High / Low alerts, add unit tests, keep the driver platform-agnostic."
--summary "Add setAlertCallback() to TMP116 driver so host MCU can respond to over/under temperature events via interrupt rather than polling"

■ Getting Started

How Straion Works

Watch how to set up Straion and start enforcing your coding standards in minutes.
Getting started with Straion takes less than 5 minutes. Here's the race plan.

  1. Define Your Rules

    Import or create your engineering standards, security rules, and coding guidelines in Straion.

  2. Install the CLI

    Install the CLI and add Straion to your Coding agent. It connects to your org's rules.

  3. AI Gets Context

    Straion's CLI dynamically fetches the relevant rules. Your AI knows your standards before writing code.

  4. Validate & Ship

    Straion validates the AI's task plan against your rules. Catch violations before tokens are wasted.

Thinking about building this yourself?

Rule retrieval, plan validation, structured policies, PR enforcement: the pieces look manageable until you're six weeks deep and maintaining infrastructure instead of shipping product.
