Katip / Clerk MDA is not affiliated with Clerk.com authentication products.
Model-driven validation and generation for serious backends.
Coding agents are sharp in a single thread and blank the next morning. Katip is the place that knowledge lives — so you stop re-teaching the same product.
Memory
When the thread ends, the product knowledge stays.
Agents are brilliant for an hour and empty the next day. Katip keeps Order, the rules, and the shape so you are not briefing the same product again.
what was the Order entity again?
remind me of the discount rule
did we already decide this last week?
Still here
Order · rules · shape
Safety
Katip stops a bad model before you review a pretty mess.
Pretty output that skipped the check still burns a review. If the model is wrong, nothing ships — you fix the source, not a pile of generated noise.
function checkout(order) {
return charge(order.total)
}Looks fine in the preview.
Control
Katip writes the skeleton. Your judgment stays in files it will not overwrite.
Structure can be generated. Taste cannot. The files you care about stay yours, in git, next to the skeleton.
Fits in
Cursor, Copilot, and Claude Code still write. Katip is the memory they shouldn't rebuild.
You do not need another IDE. You need the domain to survive the chat. That is the whole product.
Cursor
Copilot
Claude Code

Keep Cursor, Copilot, or Claude Code. Katip is memory, not another seat.
Same entities. Same rules. Same review comments. The chat should not be the source of truth.
A skeleton in git. Your judgment in files Katip will not overwrite.
This is not: Another chat that forgets on close · A drag-and-drop app builder · Clerk.com authentication
Two living demos on How it works. Waitlist when you want a seat.
