AI-First Engineering Framework
Scrum is too slow for AI. Use Singletrack.
Singletrack helps engineers and teams move from vibe coding to agentic engineering with intent-driven development, architecture gates, and verification loops.
Get Started
Open your AI tool, start a new chat, and paste the bootstrap prompt below to initialize the Singletrack workflow.

Why Singletrack?
AI is Brilliant, but Impulsive
Standard AI agents are designed to be "helpful." When you ask for a feature, they immediately start writing code. While this feels like high velocity, it often leads to architectural drift, hallucinations, and "administrative debt." Without a framework, the AI is a coder without a manager.
The Personality Transplant
Singletrack is not just a set of prompts; it is a discipline-first operating system for AI agents. It forces your AI to undergo a "personality transplant," moving it from a reactive coder to a proactive, structured development team.
By enforcing a strict separation between the Intent (the "What") and the Plan (the "How"), Singletrack ensures that:
- The "Why" is never lost: Features are defined by business value and success criteria before a single line is written.
- Tradeoffs are explicit: The mandatory Interlude forces the AI to present multiple technical paths, putting the human back in the driver's seat as the Architect.
- Velocity is sustainable: By working in Atomic Phases with verified gates, you eliminate the "one step forward, two steps back" cycle common in large AI-generated refactors.

Agentic Handshake
| Phase | Owner Agent | Input | Output | Gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Intent | Product Manager | Feature request | intents/INT-XX-title.md | Human approval |
| 2. Interlude | Architect | Approved intent | 2-3 options + tradeoffs | Path selected |
| 3a. Context Burst | Scout (Gemini-CLI) | Selected strategy | discovery/DIS-XX-report.md | Intent updated with findings |
| 3b. Spec Generation | Architect (Claude Code) | Refined intent + discovery report | specs/SPC-XX-spec.md | Spec completeness review |
| 4. Build | Builder Agent | Approved spec | plans/PLN-XX-PLAN.md + phase implementation | Per-phase tests pass |
| 5. Verify | Verifier | Completed phases | QA evidence | Intent success criteria pass |
