Hofstadter Documentation

---

The hof tool tries to remove redundent development activities by using high level designs, code generation, and diff3 while letting you write custom code directly in the output.

• Users write Single Source of Truth (SSoT) design for data models and the application generators
• hof reads the SSoT, processes it through the code generators, and outputs directories and files
• Users can write custom code in the output, change their designs, and regenerate code in any order
• hof should be customizable and extensible by only editing text files and not hof source code.
• Use your own tools, technologies, and practices, hof does not make any choices for you
• hof is powered by Cue (https://cuelang.org & https://cuetorials.com)
