Overview
Static admin dashboard template on CoreUI's Bootstrap 5 component library, with Pug sources compiled to HTML, plus SCSS and JS modules. It includes authentication, forms, icon and error page views. For AI-assisted work it ships a .cursorrules file, ARCHITECTURE.md, DEVELOPMENT.md and JSDoc comments. It is a UI shell and has no AI features itself.
Who it is for: Frontend developers needing a Bootstrap admin UI shell
Strengths
- MIT licensed, with Pug, SCSS and JS sources and a minified build via npm run build
- Includes .cursorrules, ARCHITECTURE.md and DEVELOPMENT.md so coding assistants get project conventions
- Prebuilt views for authentication pages, forms, icons, components and error pages
- Hot-reload dev server via npm start; no backend or database required
Weaknesses
- No backend, auth logic, billing or database; the login pages are only markup
- Several components (date pickers, multi select, stepper, rating) are PRO-only
- Data Grid and Scheduler are separate paid add-ons, not part of this template
- Contains no AI functionality; the AI-friendly part is only context files
What it needs
- HTML
- Needs Node.js, npm
