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.
