Strata composes proven backend modules straight into your project — reading your schema, following your conventions, wiring them in the right order. Then it writes one command that boots your app and proves the feature actually works.
Writing the feature was never the expensive part. Proving it works is — and that's what Strata hands you.
Every check runs against your data — your fields, your routes, your ID column. None of it is faked.
No black box, no payload. Strata writes ordinary code into your repo and tells you exactly what it created and what it touched.
Finds your schema — Prisma, Mongoose, Drizzle, TypeORM or plain JS — and reads your real data model. Your fields, your types, your ID column.
The pieces go together in the right order — the part teams usually get wrong. Logging before parsing, rate limits before routes, error handling last. You don't have to think about it.
Files land in your repo, in your style. Strata tells you exactly what it created and what it changed. Read it, edit it, delete what you don't want — it's your code, not a dependency you're stuck with.
Strata hands you one command that boots your app and puts the feature through its paces — the real thing, running, not a promise that it should work. Run it and see for yourself.
A product API — pagination, per-IP rate limiting, request logging. Haiku, three runs per arm.

Real failures, from real runs. All of it code that runs, returns 200, and looks done.

Both answered 400. Only one is safe. Failed 6 of 6 unaided runs, passed 6 of 6 with Strata — and no session ever mentioned it.
The client asked for a different order and was told it succeeded. Order B never exists. Should be 409.
Failed 3 of 3 unaided · passed 3 of 3 with Strata.Pagination that returns whatever it likes. Nothing errors. Nothing logs.
One unaided run in three.The task never mentions the data model. No Strata run touched it.
Unaided: 6 files across 3 runs, only 3 every time. Strata: the same 10, every time.Not whether one run was good — whether the next one matches.

Spread with Strata, on the tasks its library covers. Without it, 26.9 points on the same prompt.
One unaided run of a prompt that scored 71% twice. Its create endpoint rejected every request shape, so five checks collapsed at once. A cliff, not a worse result.
Baseline runs that got a rate limiter’s refill right — at every tier. With Strata, 6/6.
On payments, Strata covers the webhook and nothing else — 0.95×, a wash, and both arms shipped a build that does not run. The advantage tracks coverage. Strata also declines outright, about a third of the time.
n=3, Claude Haiku 4.5. Checks frozen before the first run, each with a control proving it can fail. Graded by a separate suite — never Strata’s own verifier. Full method and per-run scores →
Small, deliberate, and battle-tested. Each one passes six machine-checked gates before it can ever reach your project.
If Strata cannot identify your entity with confidence, it says so and leaves a slot — rather than guessing and silently serving the wrong rows.
Strata is an MCP server. It runs locally, on your machine, against your code.

strata_use — that is the entire surface.Then just ask for the feature.
Read every line, run every check, and keep the code. It was always yours.
