What is CodeStencil

CodeStencil is a powerful code generator that combines smart string replacement with file and folder structure logic to deliver exactly the output you need. By using stencils as its core method, it goes beyond traditional templates. Unlike templates that often produce unnecessary boilerplate code and clutter your project, stencils allow you to embed logic into the generation process. This means you create only the components you actually need, keeping your codebase clean and efficient.

CodeStencil also cuts down the time spent describing your application to AI by over 70%, saving you tokens. Since stencils generate proven code, there is no risk of hallucination common with vibe coding; you get the same reliable result every time. This combination of precision, efficiency, and reliability makes CodeStencil an ideal tool for streamlined and consistent code generation.

Code Structure (Files & Folders)

The CodeStencil Code Tree gives you an actual representation of the same file/folder structure of your generated code. That is why the Reverse Engineer Source Code feature is so powerful because it helps transform an existing source code into a stencil that can be reused to generate the same type of code but now with different parameters or database schema you may specify.

It also provides you with the ability to run your own code external to the application in order to manipulate the output generated.
