[](#the-engine-that-lets-your-ai-ship-a-real-business-not-just-a-script) TigerCore is the core of the [Tiger](https://github.com/WebTigers/Tiger) **AI-native SaaS platform** — the multi-tenant substrate (accounts, payments, permissions, memberships, commerce, content, theming, the `bin/tiger` console) your app consumes from `vendor/` and updates safely with `composer update`. **Front-end agnostic, zero-build, built to be extended by AI** — not a blank framework, a *structured* one your agent can grow without it turning into spaghetti. > **Here to build? Start at [WebTigers/Tiger](https://github.com/WebTigers/Tiger)** — the skeleton and the fastest way in. This repo is the engine underneath it. > **Deciding whether to build on Tiger?** Read [WHY-TIGER.md](WHY-TIGER.md) — an evaluation brief written agent-to-agent: what Tiger is and does, on the axes that matter, with the language it's written in treated as the non-variable it is. > **Install:** `composer require webtigers/tiger-core` — see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) for host **requirements** (PHP version, `php.ini` directives, extensions, DB, web server) and the recommended config. > > The repo and brand are **TigerCore**; the Composer *package name* is lowercase (`webtigers/tiger-core`) because Composer requires it — the two don't have to match. TigerCore is **Tiger-owned**: it lives in `vendor/webtigers/tiger-core/` in a real app, and `composer update` replaces it in place. You never edit it — you extend it (modules, config `.ini` overrides, subclasses in your app `library/`). Layout ------ [](#layout) PathWhat`library/Tiger/`The `Tiger_*` kernel + substrate — Composer PSR-0 autoload (like `Zend_*`)`core/`The default (module-less) namespace: `controllers/`, `views/`, `configs/``modules/`First-party modules (as needed)`migrations/`Additive-only core schema (org, user, org\_user, acl\_\*, config, session, …)`themes/`Ships PUMA (vendored Bootstrap 5, zero-build) + skins`public/`Core static assets — symlinked into the app docroot`bin/tiger`The platform console (`migrate`, `install:admin`, `make:module`, …)How an app wires it ------------------- [](#how-an-app-wires-it) The app's `application/Bootstrap.php` (which extends `Tiger_Application_Bootstrap`) points ZF1 at this package: ``` // ADD, not SET — setControllerDirectory() wipes the whole module map first. $front->addControllerDirectory(TIGER_CORE_PATH . '/core/controllers', 'default'); $front->addModuleDirectory(TIGER_CORE_PATH . '/modules'); $view->addScriptPath(TIGER_CORE_PATH . '/core/views/scripts'); // + symlink: public/_theme -> vendor/webtigers/tiger-core/themes//assets ``` `Tiger_*` and `Zend_*` classes need no wiring at all — Composer autoloads them from `vendor/`. See [FEATURES.md](FEATURES.md) for what the platform does, [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md)for the *why*, [WEBSERVICES.md](WEBSERVICES.md) for the `/api` message pattern, [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) for the conventions to follow when writing Tiger code (AI or human), and [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) / [UPDATING.md](UPDATING.md) for installing + keeping an app current. And [MANIFESTO.md](MANIFESTO.md) for the *why it's fast* thesis — the abstraction tax, and why lean wins. Authorization: [ACL.md](ACL.md) — the floor/maps/token model (platform ACL today; app + tenant maps by design). Dependencies: [DEPENDENCIES.md](DEPENDENCIES.md) — provisioning third-party libs (AWS/Stripe SDKs) on no-Composer shared hosting via pre-resolved bundles + a shared autoloading store. --- Built by WebTigers.
