Flight PHP, a lightweight framework, now features native AI integration through its Runway CLI. This allows developers to connect directly to LLMs like OpenAI and Gemini, generating project-specific instructions for coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot and Cursor. The framework's tiny core—around 51k tokens—fits entirely within an AI's context window, reducing hallucinations and providing more accurate, tailored code suggestions.

This native support lowers the barrier for new users while streamlining workflows for existing teams. By generating instructions for your specific stack and conventions, AI tools produce code that aligns with your project's structure from the start. It eliminates the need for constant re-explanation, boosting productivity and ensuring consistency across development cycles.

Developers can get started quickly using the official Flight skeleton, which includes pre-configured Runway commands. After setting up credentials with `ai:init`, running `ai:generate-instructions` creates tailored files for each IDE's AI. Flight's long-standing commitment to backwards compatibility means these AI tools work reliably with its enduring patterns, making it a stable choice for modern, AI-assisted development.
