Blackbox

A development Yeah! I still don't know how to call it. for AI-assisted teams.

Skills and agents combined into a workflow that helps your team plan, build, and ship together.

The Problem

AI without alignment

  • Product Owners use AI to write
  • Designers use AI to spec interfaces
  • Developers use AI to write code

Each one talks to AI on their own terms. Different prompts, different context, different assumptions. Every output carries its own version of the truth.

The Bridge

The contract between roles

  • Product Owner writes tickets grounded in the actual codebase
  • Designer shapes the interface using the PO's ticket as the single source of truth
  • Developer generates a Blueprint from the ticket — a recipe with all the context needed to plan and drive the implementation

The Flow

Skills and agents

  • Refining
  • Implementing
  • Reviewing
  • Shipping

Skills keep the AI aligned with what was agreed on. Agent-powered skills go further, spawning parallel research before acting.

No new tools. One source of truth, from the draft to the final pull request. Blackbox is just the structure that connects them.

How It Works

The full journey from ticket to shipped code, across every role.

1. Ticket

Product Owner writes tickets grounded in the actual codebase

2. Design

Designer shapes the interface using the PO's ticket as source of truth

3. Blueprint

Developer generates a Blueprint with all the context to plan the implementation

From the Blueprint, skills and agents guide the developer through building, reviewing, and shipping — all the way to the pull request.

Framework Architecture

Blueprint Template

The standardized Markdown structure that defines the feature, scope, technical plan, and testing strategy living alongside the code.

Skills & Agents

Skills guide every step from scaffold to PR. Agent-powered skills like /refine and /setup-roles spawn parallel research agents to explore the codebase before acting.

Role Templates

Auto-generated CLAUDE.md files for POs and Designers, personalized to the project's codebase via /setup-roles.

Dashboard

A lightweight web application that aggregates and indexes blueprints across all your projects for persistent knowledge retrieval.

Why try Blackbox?

What changes when your whole team works from the same structured path?

AI output you can trust

Every AI conversation starts from the same structured input. The ticket template and blueprint format eliminate guesswork — what AI generates is grounded in what was actually agreed on.

Less back-and-forth

Requirements are explicit from the start. Developers don't have to chase context across Slack threads, meetings, or vague tickets. The blueprint has everything they need.

Decisions that persist

Blueprints live in the repo alongside the code. Every technical decision, every requirement, every constraint — searchable and permanent, not lost in a chat window.

No new tools to learn

Product Owner and Designer stay in Asana. Developer stays in the editor. Blackbox doesn't replace your workflow — it structures the handoffs between roles so nothing gets lost.
