Stop guessing what your product does — and start proving it, to every person and every AI agent on your team.
ArtlessDev is in private preview. Request early access to write down, once, exactly what your software does — plainly enough for a stakeholder to read, and precisely enough for a developer, a QA engineer, or an AI agent to check against reality.
A Scenario with nothing left implicit
ArtlessDev is built out of one small unit: the Scenario — one thing your product does, described completely enough that anyone can check it without asking what you meant. Every Scenario carries two simple statuses: is it Draft, Published, or Deprecated, and has it actually been checked — Not attempted, Fit, or Gap. That same completeness is exactly what an AI coding agent needs to act on it.
A Scenario names every read it depends on and every write it makes — not just its parameters, but the session it assumes, the query it runs, the row it touches. Spell it out completely, and the dependency nobody knew was there finally surfaces.
Words like “validates,” “handles,” and “ensures” describe what code is supposed to do — and intent can't be checked. Every step carries an artifact instead: the HTTP response, the SQL row, the element on screen. Nothing attached means exactly that: an idea, not yet a fact.
The button a customer clicks, the request the frontend fires, the row the backend writes — one Scenario, nested at finer and finer boundaries, not three separate documents drifting apart. Stakeholders and engineers end up pointing at the exact same object.
