SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Translating a product requirement document (PRD) into a fully fleshed blueprint for engineering teams, reducing ambiguity and guiding implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided spec development: turn a PRD into architecture, data flow, and file structure.
  • Two-phase deepening rounds: questions drive detailed design while keeping learner engaged.
  • Documentation-driven build: the spec informs downstream artifacts like the checklist and architecture docs.

Quick Start

Describe your PRD and I will generate a complete architecture spec in docs/spec.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I translate a PRD into a software architecture blueprint?

A software architecture blueprint is generated by analyzing your PRD to define architecture components, data flows, external APIs, and deployment considerations. This process creates an implementable technical spec that reduces ambiguity and guides engineering teams.

What is the best way to structure data flow and stack choices from product requirements?

Structuring data flow and stack choices from product requirements involves mapping PRD epics to explicit architectural sections. This includes defining data flow diagrams, selecting technology stacks, and outlining file structures to ensure the design phase is fully documented and implementable.

How do I generate a technical specification document from a PRD?

You generate a technical specification document from a PRD by submitting your requirements to trigger a guided spec development process. This uses two-phase deepening rounds with targeted questions to drive detailed design, outputting a comprehensive architecture spec in docs/spec.md.

Does the spec generation process require explicit deployment considerations and external API definitions?

Yes, the spec generation process requires explicit sections for external APIs and deployment considerations. It maps these technical requirements directly to your PRD epics, ensuring the resulting architecture blueprint is detailed and implementable across the design phase.

Can I use generated architecture blueprints for downstream documentation and checklists?

Yes, you can use generated architecture blueprints for downstream documentation. The spec informs downstream artifacts like the checklist and architecture docs, ensuring the technical design directly guides and aligns with subsequent implementation tasks.
