Coding agents are fast and literal. They build exactly what the spec says, including the parts nobody actually decided. Pathmode checks the spec before that happens.

Run one command in your repo. Pathmode reads intent.md and scores it against six gates: title, objective, outcomes, constraints, edge cases, verification. It names the exact blockers and what would resolve each one. No model call, no account, and the same spec always scores the same.

With Pathmode you can:

• Check before anything gets built. npx @pathmode/mcp-server tells you which decisions are still missing, deterministically, so the verdict does not drift between runs.

• Keep the spec in your repo. intent.md is plain markdown you own, versioned alongside the code it describes, and readable through MCP in Claude Code, Cursor and Windsurf.

• Hold the judgment behind the decision. Connect a workspace for what a file cannot carry: private evidence you should not commit, a named person confirming or amending a spec without entering the repo, and staleness tracking across repositories.

Built for product teams and builders who want the decision to survive the handoff.
