RFC Framework

July 2, 2026 · View on GitHub

Lightweight, High-DPI Native C++ GUI Library for Windows
Developed by CrownSoft

RFC Framework helps you create responsive, modern high-DPI Windows applications with clean, minimal, object-oriented C++ code. The framework bypasses heavy runtimes, generating a highly optimized and lightweight code.

  • Minimum Supported OS: Windows Vista or later.
  • Architecture: Exception-free, ultra-lightweight native Win32 wrappers.

🛠️ Getting Started

  1. Run rfc/Generator.exe included in the repository.
  2. Select your required feature modules.
  3. Choose your output destination and click "Generate".
  4. The utility compiles a unified header and source file pair ready to pull directly into Visual Studio or custom build system.
  5. Check out the examples/ directory to review samples codes.

Code Example

🤖 AI-Native Development & Interactive Training

This repository features built-in AI Context Optimization Layers (AGENTS.md and symbols.md). If you use an AI-capable IDE or an agent, the environment automatically digests the codebase layout without blowing through your token limits or hallucinating class names.

🎓 For Newcomers: "Zero-Docs" Automated Tutoring

You do not need to spend hours hunting down wikis or dissecting class lineages. The framework can teach you interactively:

  1. Open this project directory inside your AI-enabled editor (agent).
  2. Open your AI chat pane and type: "teach me rfc" or "how do I start".
  3. What happens: The agent triggers Onboarding Mode via AGENTS.md. It scans your public headers and cross-references the existing examples to teach you the architecture piece-by-piece—guiding you through initializing KApplication, spinning up a standalone frame window, and injecting functional widgets one by one.

⚡ For Power Users & Contributors: Surgical Refactoring

For regular users, the AI acts as a minimal-token, rule-compliant copilot.

  • The system enforces strict architectural constraints: No C++ exceptions, No STL containers, absolute noexcept compliance.
  • The agent leverages the lightweight codebase skeleton map (symbols.md) to pull structural context surgically, saving your context window overhead while writing correct, native-behaving additions.
