Plan the work.Then implement. A project contract with V1 scope, non-goals, and guardrails before your coding agent writes code.
A CLI-first workflow for defining V1 scope, non-goals, and guardrails before you ask Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or another coding agent to implement.
No. Archseed is not an editor and does not replace your development environment. It is a CLI-first, IDE-agnostic workflow for making V1 scope, non-goals, open questions, and guardrails explicit before implementation starts.
No. Archseed does not generate application code. It helps you confirm project decisions and create reviewable context for the coding agent you already use. Implementation stays in your preferred editor and coding-agent workflow.
No. The public beta Quick Start is a guided CLI workflow. You describe the project, confirm the contract, answer a few follow-ups, and approve file creation. Archseed does not claim to analyze or reason about your narrative with an internal model.
Use the generated context with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, or similar tools. Archseed does not require a specific editor.
No. agent-context.md is a working instruction set for your coding agent. It does not technically prevent an agent from changing scope. Review proposed plans and changes against the project contract, and use the checklist to identify drift.
Yes. Archseed is designed for developers who want enough structure to avoid expensive detours without introducing heavy process.
archseed init is for new and early-stage projects and does not require Pro. archseed adopt, adopt scan, and check are Pro features for existing Next.js + TypeScript repositories. They record a baseline and do not refactor source code.
