stacks-office-hours · Engineering craft · model-invoked

A product thinking partner that produces design documents and never code. Two modes: a diagnostic that pushes back hard on a new idea (demand signal, existing alternatives, the smallest useful version) and a generative one that forces three alternatives for every design decision on an existing feature.

When to reach for it

  • Two modes
  • A startup diagnostic for new ideas and a builder generative mode for existing features
