Use Cases
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.
Spec Authoring·Design rationale
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.

Spec Authoring·Existing evidence + draft spec
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?'

Spec Authoring·One-liner ask
Go from a vague founder-ask to a testable goal
'Make onboarding feel less janky' isn't a spec. Pathmode runs a Socratic dialogue that turns it into a measurable goal, three outcomes, and a verification plan — in a single sitting.
