AI coding agents write code fast. But when a project is vague, they also make assumptions about scope, architecture, and implementation patterns.

A simple V1 can quietly become a larger product. New modals, tables, forms, hooks, services, and API patterns get created instead of reusing what already exists. The reasoning behind earlier decisions gets buried across prompts, chat histories, and implementation sessions.

Archseed is a CLI-first, IDE-agnostic workflow for defining those decisions before implementation starts.

It helps you clarify:

• The smallest useful V1

• Explicit non-goals

• Critical users, workflows, and constraints

• Architecture decisions and tradeoffs

• Implementation-ready context for your coding agent

Archseed turns that discovery into structured project context you can use with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, or another coding agent.

It is not another AI IDE and does not replace your editor or coding agent. Your preferred agent writes the code; Archseed helps define what it should build, what it should avoid, and which constraints should remain visible as the project evolves.

Current workflow:

Clarify the project

→ Define scope and non-goals

→ Capture architecture decisions and constraints

→ Generate agent-ready project context

→ Build with your preferred coding agent

The current Founder Beta is strongest for new and early-stage projects: SaaS products, dashboards, CRMs, client portals, internal tools, automations, landing pages, and MVPs.

The beta includes guided discovery, MVP scope, non-goals, architecture decisions, technical constraints, and structured implementation artifacts.

I’m building toward a review layer that can help developers check future plans and changes against the project’s source of truth. That continuous review capability is in development; it is not presented as a mature automated PR-review system today.

If you use AI coding agents on real projects, I would value blunt feedback:

What decision do you most often wish you had made before implementation started?
