SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automatically analyzes a project to determine its current development stage, identify gaps, and surface actionable next steps to move the project forward.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stage detection: Scans design/docs, source, production artifacts, prototypes, and architecture docs to classify the current stage.
  • Gap identification: Highlights missing artifacts or documentation and prompts clarifying questions to resolve gaps before proceeding.
  • Guided next steps: Generates recommended actions tailored to the detected stage and user role.

Quick Start

Provide the current project stage and recommended next steps for the repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I determine the current development stage of an existing project?

To determine the current development stage of an existing project, you scan design docs, source code, prototypes, and production artifacts to classify the stage and identify missing components for onboarding or audits.

What is project gap analysis and how does it surface actionable next steps?

Project gap analysis highlights missing artifacts or documentation during a stage detection scan, prompting clarifying questions to resolve gaps before generating tailored recommended actions to move the project forward.

How do I run a project health check for onboarding a new team?

Run a project health check for onboarding by scanning existing design, source, production, and test artifacts to detect the current stage, return actionable gaps, and provide guided next steps for the new team.

Can I audit project artifacts without automatic writes to my repository?

Yes, you can audit project artifacts safely because the stage detection process requires explicit user approval before making any writes to project-stage-report or other artifacts.

Does project stage detection work for projects missing architecture docs?

Yes, project stage detection works with missing architecture docs by scanning available source and production artifacts, identifying the documentation gaps, and prompting clarifying questions to proceed accurately.
