How AI Turns Days of Sheriff Setup Into Minutes | Rainer Hahnekamp

Configuring architectural boundaries in a mature TypeScript codebase can take days. Can AI reduce that work to minutes? In this AI Poland presentation, Rainer Hahnekamp shares a practical case study using AI, Model Context Protocol and Sheriff. Sheriff helps development teams enforce architectural boundaries in TypeScript applications. Its value is clear, but adopting it in an established codebase requires understanding a large dependency graph and preparing a detailed configuration. In this session, you will learn: • Why valuable developer tools often remain underused • How Sheriff enforces architectural boundaries • Why configuration becomes difficult in mature codebases • How MCP gives AI access to project details • How AI can propose an initial Sheriff configuration • How Sheriff’s analysis can help refine the result • What early experiments reveal about potential time savings • How the same approach could improve the adoption of other developer tools Rainer Hahnekamp is a Google Developer Expert and a collaborator on the NgRx team. He works as a trainer and consultant in the Angular Architects expert network, specialising in Angular and Spring. He is also the creator of ng-news, a weekly overview of important developments in the Angular ecosystem. This presentation was recorded at AI Poland.
