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.
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.
Pressure-test a spec against your strategy before the team commits
The spec is well-built and the evidence is real — but is it the thing this company should build right now? Review it against the workspace constitution, where your strategy and non-negotiables already live, before a sprint goes into it.
Review a spec for implementation risk before it enters the build queue
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.
Audit a draft spec for missing edge cases
Paste your half-finished PRD or spec. Pathmode runs a Socratic review, flags the assumptions you didn't realize you were making, and surfaces the edge cases your team will hit in week two.
Spot the conflict between two stakeholder requests
Sales wants self-serve, security wants SSO-only. Drop both requests into Pathmode and get the conflict surfaced as an explicit tension — not buried in a 30-page spec.
Want a use case for your workflow?
Tell us what you're trying to do. We'll write up the flow — and ship the missing pieces if Pathmode doesn't handle it yet.
