SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converts a PRD into a buildable architecture plan that directly guides implementation and orchestration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Transforms PRDs or user specs (with optional codebase) into a complete architecture document including file tree, component breakdown, data model, and phased build plan.
  • Supports greenfield and feature-mode workflows with risk assessment, dependency mapping, and campaign-ready deliverables.
  • Produces artifacts that CI/CD or orchestration engines can consume to drive campaigns.

Quick Start

Provide a PRD or specification and any existing codebase to generate the architecture plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a PRD into a buildable system architecture?

To turn a PRD into a buildable system architecture, provide your PRD and optional existing codebase to generate a complete architecture document featuring a file tree, data model, and phased build plan.

What is included in a campaign-ready architecture plan?

A campaign-ready architecture plan includes a file tree, component breakdown, data model, risk register, phased build plan, and build-phase dependencies for orchestration engines to consume.

Can I generate an architecture plan for adding features to an existing codebase?

Yes, you can generate an architecture plan for existing codebases using feature-mode workflows by providing your PRD alongside the current codebase to map dependencies and assess risks.

Does the system design process support greenfield projects?

Yes, the system design process supports greenfield projects by transforming user-provided specifications or PRDs into foundational architecture documents with complete file trees and data models.

What's the best way to map build-phase dependencies for a campaign?

The best way to map build-phase dependencies for a campaign is to convert your PRD into a phased build plan that outputs dependency mappings and a risk register in a campaign-ready format.
