# Precursor

> AI-powered development planning toolkit that helps developers plan, document, and build apps with intelligent guidance for AI-enabled IDEs.

Precursor is an AI-powered development planning toolkit designed to help developers plan, build, and iterate on application builds with intelligent guidance. It works seamlessly with popular AI-enabled IDEs like Cursor, Windsurf, Replit, Bolt, and Claude Code. The platform focuses on a documentation-first workflow that eliminates "vibe coding chaos" by providing structured, machine-readable context documents that AI tools and teammates can reliably use.

The core philosophy behind Precursor is "context before code" - helping teams ship faster, integrate cleaner, and maintain architectural coherence as they scale. By creating versioned, JSON-based context documents that live with your code, Precursor ensures consistent, scalable code generation instead of one-off prompt experiments.

- **Interactive Planning** guides developers through comprehensive app planning and ideation with an intelligent AI assistant that analyzes concepts and identifies key components.

- **MVP Documentation** generates detailed specifications and roadmaps for minimum viable products, saving up to 90% of time typically spent on planning.

- **Feature Iteration** enables planning beyond MVP with data-driven insights and best practices for subsequent feature rollouts.

- **IDE Integration** provides seamless compatibility with popular AI-enabled development environments including Cursor, Lovable, Replit, Bolt, Windsurf, Claude Code, Copilot, and more.

- **Documentation-First Workflow** creates versioned, machine-readable context that lives with your code, ensuring AI pairing references your specs rather than chat history.

- **Export Documentation** generates comprehensive docs ready for development teams once all planning phases are completed.

To get started, join the waitlist for early access. Once granted access, input your app idea and requirements, let the AI generate comprehensive documentation and technical specifications, then use the generated documentation with your preferred AI-enabled IDE to build and iterate with continuous AI guidance.
