Straitjacket: A TypeScript template with Guardrails for your agents

Summary

Straitjacket is a BSD-licensed TypeScript template on GitHub that bundles lint, test and supply-chain rules meant to stop coding agents from faking progress. It bans lint-disable comments, runs Stryker mutation testing on pre-push, uses drift guards to check quoted numbers against configs, and refuses packages under 30 days old. There is no CI, and --no-verify bypasses both git hooks, so enforcement depends on local discipline. The claims here come from the project's own README, without independent verification.
