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

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
