Answers
Short, direct pages for builders deciding what to hand an AI coding agent before it builds — not essays. Each one answers a single question and points to the next step.

How do I stop AI agents from building the wrong thing?
Give agents intent, not just instructions — the evidence behind the work, the outcome to preserve, and what must not regress.
Pathmode + Cursor / Claude Code: how do I give my coding agent intent?
Pathmode's MCP server hands Cursor and Claude Code the intent behind a task — the evidence, the outcome to preserve, what must not regress — at build time.
What should I give an AI coding agent before it builds a feature?
Give it the objective, the evidence, the outcome to preserve, the edge cases, what must not regress, and how it's verified.

How do I turn customer feedback into a spec an agent can build?
Decompress the evidence before writing the ask — Pathmode turns raw tickets and quotes into an IntentSpec the agent executes against.
Pathmode vs writing PRDs by hand
A PRD is written for humans to read once and drifts; an IntentSpec is written for agents to execute and stays attached to its evidence.
Pathmode vs raw prompts (vibe coding)
Raw prompts are fast and amnesiac. Pathmode hands agents intent — evidence, outcome, non-negotiables — so the work survives past the next message.
What belongs in a spec before engineering starts?
Five parts before an agent starts — Objective, Evidence, Outcomes, Edge cases, Verification — so the build honors the decision, not just the feature list.
Pathmode vs spec-kit and BMAD
spec-kit and BMAD structure how the agent builds. Pathmode authors the product why upstream, from real customer evidence.
Hand your agent intent, not just instructions.
Turn your customer evidence into an IntentSpec your AI coding agent can build against.
