2026.2.9

Released: February 9, 2026

Streamlined 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-product as 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.md milestone (design tokens + app shell). Sections now start at milestone 02.
  • Data Shapes: Renamed data-model/ to data-shapes/ in the export package, with a new overview.ts that 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-model to /data-shape throughout. 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.
