FAQPage Schema
How do I research a codebase to write a technical specification?▼

Generate a functional specification from an existing codebase through iterative conversational Q&A, which gathers product context, detects engineering pitfalls, and logs decisions to manage trade-offs and ensure traceability.

How do I identify architectural risks and scope before starting implementation?▼

Identify architectural risks and scope by conducting guided reconnaissance on product documentation and codebase references, synthesizing the findings into a structured specification with actionable tasks and decision logs.

Can I use conversational Q&A to scope engineering tasks for a complex codebase?▼

You can use conversational Q&A to scope engineering tasks by iteratively querying the codebase and documentation to inform a precise specification, capturing architectural decisions and potential pitfalls along the way.

What's the best way to translate codebase patterns into actionable development tasks?▼

Translate codebase patterns into actionable development tasks by applying discovered architectural decisions to determine required files and implementation steps, delivering a structured synthesis for a formal spec.

Does this approach require existing product documentation to generate a spec?▼

Generating a spec benefits from existing product documentation to inform the scope, but the workflow also directly researches the codebase to identify patterns and determine required files for a robust specification.
