+1 would love to see something like Boost for Drupal development.
While AI-assisted coding is becoming increasingly common, the Drupal developer experience in this area is still fragmented. Other frameworks, like Laravel, are already offering structured, version-specific AI starter kits (e.g. Laravel Boost) that help developers integrate AI into their workflows effectively.
In Drupal, there are some existing efforts such as:
These solutions are often custom, tool-specific, lack centralized guidance, and don’t easily connect AI tools to “living” Drupal coding standards, API documentation, and version-specific best practices. This makes it harder for developers to ensure that AI-generated code is high quality, adheres to current standards, and is compatible with the targeted Drupal version.
With Drupal’s fast-evolving ecosystem (deprecations, new major versions, updated APIs), having an AI-friendly integration point that is tool-agnostic and can dynamically surface relevant. Right now we have documentation available at https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/11.x/search, but also https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop → which is not easily accessible for tools.
Create a tool-agnostic AI developer starter kit for Drupal, inspired by Laravel Boost, that provides a central integration point for AI coding assistants and is easy to setup.
The starter kit could:
Resulting in an easy way to increase efficiency when developing with AI.
Perhaps create a proof of concept MCP server to showcase what the increased efficiency could be.
