How builders ship the right thing.
Real inputs, real specs, real hand-offs. Each example is a complete flow — pick a workflow or a role and see what comes out the other side.
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, then the agent starts.
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.
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.
Turn a design rationale into outcomes engineers can verify
The reasoning behind the design is the part that gets lost in handoff — and it's the part that keeps an agent from 'improving' your decisions into mush. Convert the why behind the pixels into outcomes with verification criteria.
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.
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.
