What's inside
An opinionated ecosystem of rules, skills and steerings to elevate Delphi development to state-of-the-art with Artificial Intelligence.
Delphi/Lazarus components <www.inovefast.com.br>
Integrations with payment platforms and services (Asaas, MercadoPago, Cielo, PagSeguro, D4sign, Webstore, MelhorEnvio, Groq)
i9DBTools <www.inovefast.com.br/i9dbTools/> Manage MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird and SQLite in one place, with AI to generate and explain SQL in natural language, optimize queries and create Brazilian fake data in seconds.
The Delphi AI Spec-Kit is not a code framework β it's a set of behavior guidelines for your favorite AI. It "teaches" the wizard to write Delphi code:
OnClicktry..finally and (ARC) interfacesSay goodbye to AI that mixes database access with the presentation layer, forgets
try..finallyor ignores Dependency Injection.
| Without Spec-Kit | With the Spec-Kit |
|---|---|
AI generates code with logic in OnClick | AI isolates layers correctly |
TStringList.Create without try..finally | Memory gold standard always applied |
| Tests coupled to the real bank | Fakes via interface, quick and isolated tests |
| Inconsistent naming | A-params, F-fields, T-types, verbs in methods |
with statement and global variables | Code smells blocked proactively |
| Tool | Configuration File | How It Works |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub Copilot | .github/copilot-instructions.md | Pre-prompt injected into Workspace/Chat |
| Cursor | .cursor/rules/*.md | Rules loaded by context |
| Claude Code | .claude/ | Rules by context and skills in the terminal |
| Google Gemini / Antigravity | .gemini/skills/*/SKILL.md | Modular skills by domain |
| Kiro AI | .kiro/steering/*.md | Stack and architectural constraints |
| Any AI | AGENTS.md | Universal rules (project root) |
The AI ββenforces the pattern: every .Create without Owner requires try..finally on the immediately subsequent line. Also teaches the use of Interfaces (ARC) for native Garbage Collection β without Free manual.
//β
Gold Standard β ALWAYS generated by AI with Spec-Kit
var LList: TStringList;
begin
LList := TStringList.Create;
try
LList.Add('item');
finally
LList.Free;
end;
end;
Red-Green-Refactor flow with Fakes isolated per interface. No coupling to the database in tests.
[Test]
procedure ProcessOrder_WithoutStock_RaisesException;
begin
Assert.WillRaise(
procedure begin FSut.Process(FEmptyOrder); end,
EInvalidOrderException
);
end;
TCustomerValidator does not save to the bank.//β
DIP in practice
constructor TOrderService.Create(
ARepo: IOrderRepository;
ANotifier: INotificationService);
begin
FRepo := ARepo;
FNotifier := ANotifier;
end;
Consistent and mandatory nomenclatures:
| Category | Convention | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Parameters | Prefix A | ACustomerName |
| Private fields | Prefix F | FCustomerName |
| Local variables | Prefix L | LCustomer |
| Classes | Prefix T | TCustomerService |
| Interfaces | Prefix I | ICustomerRepository |
| Exceptions | Prefix E | ECustomerNotFound |
| Framework | Domain | Rules Included |
|---|---|---|
| Horse | Minimalist REST APIs | Controller/Service/Repository structure, middleware |
| Dext Framework | .NET-style APIs, ORM, DI, Async | Minimal APIs, Entity ORM, TAsyncTask.Run |
| DelphiMVC (DMVC) | REST APIs with Attributes | [MVCPath], Active Record, JWT, RQL |
| ACBR | Commercial Automation (NFe, CF-e, Boleto) | Tax isolation, without crossing with UI |
| Intraweb | Stateful WebApps in Delphi | UserSession, no global session variables |
| DevExpress | Advanced Enterprise UI | TcxGrid, TdxLayoutControl, skins and export |
| Firebird Database | Corporate Database | FireDAC Connection, PSQL, generators, transactions, migrations |
| PostgreSQL Database | Modern Database | FireDAC Connection, UPSERT, JSONB, Full-Text Search, PL/pgSQL |
| MySQL / MariaDB | Popular Database | FireDAC Connection, AUTO_INCREMENT, UPSERT, JSON, FULLTEXT |
| DUnitX | Unit Tests | Red-Green-Refactor, Fakes via interface |
| Design Patterns GoF | Design Patterns | Creational, Structural and Behavioral with interfaces and ARC |
| Threading | Multi-Threading | TThread, TTask, Synchronize/Queue, TCriticalSection, PPL |
| Code Refactoring | Code Smells and Techniques | Extract Method/Class, Guard Clauses, Strategy, Parameter Object |
