What it is
Blueprint is a methodology and toolset for running product initiatives with AI assistance. You provide the context — screenshots, BRDs, codebase access, competitive intelligence. The agent does research, builds prototypes, writes strategic documents, validates claims against source code, and iterates based on…
How it works
<img src="assets/readme/pipeline.svg" alt="The Blueprint pipeline: eight stages (0 Legibility, 1 Research, 2 Design, 3 Prototype, 4 Fact-check, 5 Documents, 6 Deploy, 7 Iterate) on a rail with a deterministic gate between each stage that verifies the work before it advances; prototype through documents are built…
Why this approach
When the agent fails at a stage, the response is *never* "try harder" or "prompt better." The response is: 1. Identify what's missing — tool, guardrail, doc, sensor, invariant, reviewer agent 2. Encode it into the repo — lint, doc, skill, agent definition, stage gate 3. Have the agent itself write the encoding — the…
Evaluating for your team
The five-minute path (formerly START-HERE.md): • See it running first: [blueprint.ninochavez.co](https://blueprint.ninochavez.co) is Blueprint applied to *itself* — the same shape of portal it generates for any initiative, so it doubles as "here's what the output looks like." Worth clicking: discover (what it is),…
Coordinating a team
Use Hive when all of these are true: 1. The initiative has 5+ discrete work streams that can be parallelized 2. Multiple agent sessions will run concurrently (same conversation forking, or multiple developers + agents, or scheduled long-running agents) 3. Work streams touch overlapping files, decisions, or data 4.…
