Discussion
14 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Conductor, vibe-kanban, superpowers, Codex
Concerns raised: Agent executes PRD markdown as Python script instead of reading it, Risk of orphaned code and non-MVP features in production, Too much configuration complexity for setup, Adding abstraction layer while LLMs evolving rapidly, Filesystem references need cleanup
Feature requests: Example PRD with pre-made workflows that work out-of-box, Plug-and-play setup with less configuration, Debugability as core design pillar, More examples for different use cases, Tools to learn and improve on existing codebase over time
