SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you reduce rework by investigating requirements and options up front, so you make better decisions before modifying code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture and option analysis: Explains and compares approaches to surface tradeoffs for your specific task.
  • Decision-ready outcomes: Produces a structured investigation with a clear recommendation to guide implementation.
  • Relay-based specialist stages: Delegates planning, analysis, comparison, and review stages through Circuit’s contract-checked flow.
  • Use case: Before you refactor a critical subsystem, use Explore to analyze the architecture, evaluate alternatives, and decide on the safest path to implement.

Quick Start

Ask Circuit to explore your goal and return a decision-ready plan before any code changes are made.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze architecture options before modifying code?▼

Architecture analysis before modifying code involves investigating requirements, comparing implementation strategies, and explaining tradeoffs. A structured exploration flow generates decision-ready reports with clear recommendations to guide your development path.

What is the best way to compare implementation strategies for a major refactor?▼

Comparing implementation strategies for a major refactor requires evaluating alternatives against your goal to surface tradeoffs. A structured workflow analyzes the architecture and produces a decision-ready plan to ensure the safest path for implementation.

How do I reduce rework when planning complex code changes?▼

To reduce rework when planning complex code changes, investigate requirements and options up front before editing code. This upfront exploration prevents misguided implementations by producing a structured decision-ready plan.

Can I use a structured workflow to evaluate alternatives for software engineering tasks?▼

Yes, you can use a structured workflow to evaluate alternatives for software engineering tasks. It applies an end-to-end flow—framing, analyzing, composing, reviewing, and closing—to your goal and surfaces a final operator summary from generated reports.

When should I run an architecture analysis before development?▼

You should run an architecture analysis before development when refactoring a critical subsystem or facing multiple implementation paths. Investigating options up front prevents misguided implementations and reduces rework by deciding on the safest path prior to coding.
