For people building their first serious app with AI
Describe the app you have in mind. Maestro turns it into a clear plan, gives Claude Code or Codex the instructions it needs, and checks the important things as your product grows.
You bring the product idea. You do not need to be a Convex or architecture expert.
“Build a client knowledge workspace with approval flows.”
✓ customer data kept separate
✓ data retention decided
✓ reliable workflows checked
✓ agent instructions ready

Claude CodeOpenAI CodexConvexGuided setupBuilt-in checksWhy Maestro
A coding agent can make something impressive in an afternoon. The harder part is keeping the app understandable, safe, and easy to change after dozens of new prompts and sessions.
Without a system
With Maestro
The working loop
Answer practical questions about your users, what they need to do, what information the app holds, and what a useful first version should include.
Maestro creates the right starting points for your screens, product actions, data, and automated workflows, with important safety decisions included from the beginning.
Claude Code or Codex builds the product while quick checks guide the work. Before you hand it over or release it, a full check shows what passed and what still needs attention.

pnpm template:quickstart -- --name "My App" --writeHelpful guidance. Firm checks.
Maestro does not try to control every line your coding agent writes. It explains the project, provides trusted ways to add common parts, and automatically checks the safety and structural rules that should not be left to memory.
What Maestro looks after
Structure
Maestro gives every new feature a sensible home, so the app does not become harder to change each time you add something.
Convex
Your coding agent gets current Convex guidance for data, sign-in, permissions, migrations, and performance instead of guessing from old examples.
Workflows
Checks cover the details that make automated work dependable: who started it, what happens on a retry, how failures recover, and when old data is cleaned up.
Consistency
The website, integrations, command line, and agent tools all use the same product rules, reducing duplicated logic and surprising differences.
Your agent
Claude Code and Codex can read the plan, the project rules, and the approved ways to add things. You keep using the coding tool you already know.
Checks
Maestro checks structure, privacy, data safety, and the finished build, then records clear results you or a developer can review.
Easy to pick up again
The plan, important decisions, app structure, and working instructions stay inside the project—not buried in an old chat. A new Claude Code or Codex session can understand what exists, what to reuse, and how to continue safely.
“Read AGENTS.md. I want to build a workspace that turns client research into approved campaign briefs. Help me plan the first version, reuse what is already here, and run the project checks as you build.”What Maestro handles, what you decide, and where experienced help still matters.
Yes—if you can explain who the app is for, what they need to do, and what a useful first version looks like. Maestro helps turn those answers into a sensible build plan and gives your coding agent a well-structured place to start.
You do not need to know Convex or software architecture. You do need to make product choices: who your users are, what problem you are solving, and what should happen in the app. Maestro supplies the technical starting point and asks useful questions when a decision matters.
Claude Code or Codex writes the code with Maestro guiding and checking the work. You still decide what the product should do, review what you see, and test it with real users. Maestro is the building system around your coding agent, not a replacement for your judgment.
You can, and those tools can create features very quickly. The trouble usually appears later: every session makes slightly different choices, important safety details are missed, and the app becomes difficult to change. Maestro gives each session the same map, rules, starting points, and checks.
You can get much further before you need one. For a serious launch, an experienced developer should still review decisions involving sensitive data, payments, security, compliance, or unusual scale. Maestro makes that review easier because the project is structured and its checks are visible.
The Maestro template is available now on GitHub for web applications built on Convex with Claude Code or Codex. It includes the app structure, guided starting points, agent instructions, and checks. You can create your own copy and begin with the included quickstart guide.
