Intent: Why
Capture the strategic motivation through structured envisioning. Questions surface customer pain points, goals, and business context before any code is written.
DevSquad Copilot
Ship at the pace of innovation with agents that keep delivery grounded in specs, traceable decisions, and production-ready quality.
From Intent to Implementation
Section titled “From Intent to Implementation”Delivering at the pace of innovation means structuring delivery so that speed and quality reinforce each other. The framework organizes work in three layers, and each produces artifacts that reduce rework downstream:
Specification: What
Feature and migration specs define scope, acceptance criteria, and constraints. Written for stakeholders, these artifacts become the contract that downstream work is measured against.
Architecture Decisions: How
ADRs record how and why specific technical approaches were selected. Evaluated against ranked priorities, not generic pros/cons, so decisions stay traceable.
Delivery: When
Every increment is traceable and reviewable. As priorities shift, the artifact chain keeps delivery aligned with intent.
Intentional AI
Section titled “Intentional AI”Across every layer, agents operate with intent, not generating code blindly, but structuring thought at every step.
Ask Before Assuming
Agents verify understanding and surface trade-offs before acting. Clarifying questions replace guesswork.
Traceable Decisions
Every choice is recorded with reasoning, alternatives considered, and confidence level.
Human in Control
No medium or high impact change executes without explicit approval. The developer decides; the AI accelerates.
Comprehension Over Speed
Post-implementation checks verify the developer understands what was generated and why.
