How builders ship the right thing.
Follow a proposal from request to review, bring evidence into a decision, or prepare the handoff to your coding agent. Pick a workflow or role to find the relevant steps.
Start here · Product review
The request says all matching customers. The agent proposes one page.
Follow an illustrative review from the original request through a correction, the agent's revision, and the product manager's authorization before implementation.
Read the proposal review walkthroughReview and correct an agent's proposal before it builds
Follow Maria and Sam from a cancellation proposal through correction, approval, and a later cleanup request that uses the same paid-access decision.
Draft your first intent in your repo, no account required
Install the keyless MCP server, describe what you're building, and get a preflighted intent.md in your project root. Assumptions labeled, blockers named, the Pathmode server runs locally. No account required.
Hand the authorized proposal to your coding agent
Carry the product manager's corrections and revision authorization into Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex, then check the implementation against the agreed intent.
Generate a PR description from the linked IntentSpec
The agent that built the work already holds the spec it built against. Have it write the PR description from that spec: objective, outcomes, verification criteria, and edge cases, so reviewers see intent and tests in the same place.
Run a deterministic preflight before your agent starts building
Six calibrated checks, no model call, no account. The preflight reads your intent.md, names the exact gates that block it, and the same spec always gets the same verdict. Repair happens one question at a time, with readiness kept separate from approval to build.
Let your agent pull intent live with the Pathmode MCP server
Stop pasting specs into the agent. With a connected workspace, Claude Code preflights the repo's intent.md, reads the full execution context, stops for open PM requests and for a person to authorize the exact revision, then hands the pull request back for a diff-graded verdict.
Verify the pull request against the spec it was built from
Name the PR and Pathmode reads the diff from GitHub itself, grading every outcome, constraint, and edge case against what the code actually shows, with citations. A summary of your own work is weaker evidence, and the verdict says so.
Let a coding agent correct the spec it's building from
An agent building your spec discovers the spec was wrong. Instead of burying that in a PR comment, it records a finding that rides into the next agent's prompt and flips the falsified check to failing, then proposes the exact correction for a person to accept. The loop converges, and a human closes it.
Turn an existing brief into a proposal you can review
Bring the ticket, PRD excerpt, or rough notes you already have. Have your coding agent propose the change, then compare its interpretation with your original request in Pathmode.
Catch the experience gaps in a spec before build
The happy path is in the spec. The empty state, the error, the slow connection, the screen-reader user — usually aren't. Review the spec from the experience side and add the states a coding agent will otherwise invent badly.
Capture a customer call as structured evidence
You just got off a call full of signal. Before it evaporates, drop the transcript in. Pathmode pulls out the quotes and tags each by type and severity, and they wait Unreviewed in the Inbox until you judge them. No synthesis doc required.
Decide what the team builds next
Use the Intents list to find pending reviews and missing outcome measurements, then compare the candidates and record why one should come next.
Turn a design rationale into outcomes engineers can verify
Carry the user result, design decisions, and supporting research into a proposal the engineer can verify without losing the reason behind the design.
Pressure-test a spec against your strategy before the team commits
Compare the proposal with workspace strategy, product boundaries, and constitution rules. Record why this work deserves priority before approving the build.
Review a spec for implementation risk before build
The product side wrote the goal and the evidence. You add what they can't see — the technical edge cases, the constraints, the out-of-scope lines that keep an agent from wandering. Catch the expensive surprises while they're still cheap to fix.
Turn scattered customer signal into one prioritized spec
The signal is real, but it's in twelve places: a sales call, two Slack threads, a churn email, your own notes. Capture it all in Pathmode, judge it one signal at a time, and end with a spec whose claims say what backs them.
Sequence work so agents have the dependencies they need
Check the prerequisites behind related intents, agree the build order, and hand the agent an authorized proposal based on contracts that are actually available.
Turn a usability test into a spec the team can build
Five sessions, a pile of clips, and a sinking feeling that it'll all live in a deck nobody opens. Capture the observations in Pathmode and walk out with a spec whose outcomes name the exact moments users struggled, and who judged that they count.
Anchor every outcome to user evidence
Stop writing specs from imagination. Every claim in a Pathmode spec shows what backs it and who judged it, so a year from now you can still answer 'why did we build it that way?'
Audit a draft spec for missing edge cases
Compare a draft proposal with its request, identify missing failure cases, and review the agent’s corrections before approving implementation.
Go from a vague founder-ask to a testable goal
Turn a rough request into a clear problem, observable outcomes, and a proposal your team can review before implementation.
Find the friction pattern across 5 user interviews
Five interviews, five different stories, one pattern underneath. Capture the transcripts as signals, judge them one at a time, and the pattern shows up as the claim several independent sources back.
Convert a Slack thread into an evidence item
Customer feedback dies in Slack. Paste a thread, get a structured signal with the quote, the context, and the source, sitting Unreviewed in the Evidence Inbox until you judge it.
Spot the conflict between two stakeholder requests
Keep both stakeholder requests visible, name the conflicting behavior, and review an explicit decision before the coding agent implements it.
Turn 30 support tickets into a prioritized spec
Import a CSV export of recent tickets. Every row lands in the Evidence Inbox as an unreviewed signal, and you decide which ones become reviewed backing for an exact claim in your spec.
