SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creates a rigorous bridge from PRDs to technical designs by guiding structured inquiry, codebase exploration, and architecture discussions.

Core Features & Use Cases

Guided, iterative design sessions that map PRD goals to concrete architecture decisions.
Codebase survey to surface existing modules, tech stacks, and integration points.
Single design document output with implementation guidance, risks, and decision records.

Quick Start

Provide the PRD path or select a PRD to start the design session.

FAQPage Schema

How do I turn a PRD into a technical design document?▼

To turn a PRD into a technical design document, provide the PRD path to initiate a guided session that surveys your existing codebase, maps requirements to architecture, and outputs structured implementation guidance.

What is the best way to map PRD requirements to an existing codebase architecture?▼

Mapping PRD requirements to architecture involves an iterative codebase survey to surface existing modules and integration points, scoping core components and data flows to detail open items from the PRD.

Can I generate implementation guidance aligned to my project's tech stack from a PRD?▼

Yes, you can generate implementation guidance aligned to your tech stack by anchoring the PRD, surveying codebase conventions, and producing a structured design document with clear architecture decisions and risks.

How does a codebase survey help bridge product requirements and technical design?▼

A codebase survey bridges product requirements and technical design by identifying existing modules, tech stacks, and integration points, ensuring the resulting architecture decisions map directly to concrete project constraints.

Do I need a completed PRD to start a technical design session?▼

You need a PRD anchor to start the design session, as the process maps PRD goals to architecture decisions and details any open items, making a baseline requirements document necessary for structured inquiry.
