Re: output format

The output (used by the user interface) is a JSON schema (DSL) which defines the whole app (collections, fields, relations, pages, access/roles menu etc). It can be changed throughout the lifetime of the application. The built-in revision control makes it easy to revert changes.

Show HN: Prompt → Schema → CRUD API and Admin UI (New Codehooks Template)

knutmartin — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 19:32:59 +0000

I’ve been building database-backed tools for ~20 years (previously co-founded restdb.io). One recurring pattern: teams repeatedly rebuild the same admin dashboards and CRUD APIs.

This is an open-source React admin template that runs on Codehooks and generates a full CRUD backend and UI from a schema instantly.

The flow is:

Prompt → Schema → API → Admin UI

You can generate a schema using the "Copy Prompt" button in the UI, or define collections manually in a visual editor. After deploy, you get a structured CRUD REST API and an admin interface.

It includes a CRUD REST API with OpenAPI/Swagger docs, JWT authentication with role-based access, list views and detail forms with relations, search and filtering, file/image uploads, and audit logging.

Frontend is built with React, Tailwind, and shadcn/ui. The backend runs on the Codehooks serverless runtime.

Setup is three commands (you need a codehooks account, but there's a free plan):

npm install -g codehooks coho create myapp –template react-admin-dashboard cd myapp && npm install && coho deploy

The goal isn’t to compete with tools like Supabase, Strapi, or Django admin. This is a more opinionated, schema-driven approach tightly integrated with the Codehooks CLI and runtime — especially useful when AI tools are generating schemas or backend logic and you need a structured backend and UI quickly.

It’s fully open source, but it runs on Codehooks.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on the schema-to-UI mapping, OpenAPI generation, auth/RBAC model, and overall architecture.

In the article (link below) the author vibe-coded a full-stack React “todo” app with an Claude Code and had it live on the internet in under 90 seconds — including frontend, backend, database, REST API, Swagger docs, and deployment — without writing a single line of code by hand.

The key takeaway isn’t just the speed. What made the rapid turnaround possible was the stack itself: a low-ceremony platform (Codehooks.io) that keeps frontend and backend together, avoids CORS and infra config, and uses schema-driven APIs so the AI doesn’t get stuck on peripheral problems.

Instead of AI nirvana, the article argues we should be thinking about what stacks maximize AI productivity — the ones that remove friction points and keep the feedback loop tight between idea and deployment.

Show HN: Give your OpenClaw agent a serverless back end

knutmartin — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 21:36:30 +0000

OpenClaw runs locally. That's great for privacy and control. It's less great when you need:

- REST APIs and webhooks that stay up even when your computer sleeps - Persistent storage beyond local files - Background jobs that run on a schedule - CRUD endpoints your other apps can talk to

You could give your agent access to AWS. Let it wire up Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and SQS. Watch it burn through your free tier and leak credentials.

Or you could give it a backend designed for agents.

Blog post: https://codehooks.io/blog/openclaw-backend Skill file: https://github.com/RestDB/codehooks-openclaw-skill Codehooks: https://codehooks.io

Would love feedback from anyone running OpenClaw or other personal agents.

New comment by knutmartin in "Show HN: LLM prompt template to build backend APIs faster"

knutmartin — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 11:18:54 +0000

One of the frustrating aspects of using prompts to generate code is that the output can vary quite a bit even with the same prompt. Creating an API which use the OpenAI APIs for mission critical solutions feels a bit scary and unpredictable. For structured output, I know people use libraries like Pydantic with Python. I don't now the best approach to deal with this with regards to code generation, though. For now, I guess having an experienced software engineer examine the code is essential.
