2026.2.9
Released: February 9, 2026Streamlined Workflows
- Product Vision: Now generates product overview, product roadmap, and data shape all in one conversational flow. After clarifying questions, all three files are written automatically without draft approval.
- Product Roadmap & Data Shape: Updated to follow the update pattern—if the file already exists, show current state and ask what to change; if not, generate immediately from prerequisites.
- Shape Section: After clarifying questions, the spec, sample data, and TypeScript types are now generated automatically without requiring draft approval.
- Sample Data: When run standalone, auto-generates data immediately. When data already exists, asks what to change then auto-updates.
Export Package Updates
-
UI Design Handoff: Reframed
/export-productas a UI design handoff (not a full-stack spec). Removed prescriptive backend/database guidance from preamble, milestone instructions, prompts, and test specs. The handoff now focuses on UI components, product requirements, and user flows—leaving backend architecture decisions to the implementation agent. -
Consolidated Milestones: Foundation + shell consolidated into a single
01-shell.mdmilestone (design tokens + app shell). Sections now start at milestone 02. -
Data Shapes: Renamed
data-model/todata-shapes/in the export package, with a newoverview.tsthat aggregates all section types as a combined reference. - Simplified Prompts: Replaced prescriptive backend question categories with lighter, open-ended clarifying questions.
-
UI-Focused Tests: Refocused export test specs (
tests.md) on UI behavior only—removed backend testing guidance.
Terminology Updates
-
Data Shape: Renamed
/data-modelto/data-shapethroughout. The command, UI, routes, and all references now use “data shape” to emphasize this step is about sketching the general shape of data, not defining a final data model. - Version Numbering: Switched to date-based version numbers.
