Core Features & Use Cases

Structured dialogue: guides exploration of project context, asks clarifying questions, and proposes 2-3 design approaches with trade-offs.
Design documentation: prompts to write a concise design doc and plan next steps for implementation.
Safe transition: enforces guardrails to avoid premature coding and ensures user approval before moving to implementation.

Quick Start

Provide your project context and request a brainstorming session to generate a design concept.
