About

What It Is

driftless is a cloud product-delivery platform for CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and teams building software with AI agents. Rather than functioning as a conventional project tracker, it uses a structured “Cascades” workflow—shape, gate, ship, verify—to...

What to Know

driftless is notably more agentic than a planning or coding copilot: it describes persistent agents that can pick up assigned work, write code, run tests, post updates, and move work through a governed delivery process. Its core differentiator is...

Key Features
Creates paired PRDs and technical specifications for delivery work
Applies spec gates that block unresolved PRD-to-tech-spec contradictions
Maintains bidirectional links between requirements, spec sections, tasks, and shipped code
Uses a BA Agent to turn product direction into structured, testable, sequenced work
Orchestrates builder agents through the `driftless run` command-line tool
Use Cases
Turn a new product initiative into linked PRD, technical-spec, and implementation tasks before coding begins
Prevent an AI coding workflow from starting when product and technical requirements conflict
Coordinate multiple builder agents on assigned engineering tasks while keeping a central delivery trail
