> The AI operating system for product development. Describe your idea once; a team of specialized AI agents researches, specs, designs, codes, and ships it.

## Docs

- [Architect Agent](https://productos.dev/docs/agents/architect.md): An optional system design specialist that turns your PRD into architecture documents, decision records, and infrastructure cost estimates.
- [Deploy Agent](https://productos.dev/docs/agents/deploy.md): Owner of the publish pipeline: preflight build, GitHub push, Vercel deploy, and up to three self-fix iterations to a live URL.
- [Design Agent](https://productos.dev/docs/agents/design.md): A UI/UX specialist that turns your concept, research, and PRD into user flows and screen specifications for the product you defined.
- [Design System Agent](https://productos.dev/docs/agents/design-system.md): A senior visual designer that builds your design tokens, component system, and DESIGN.md, with real dark and light HTML previews.
- [Fullstack Builder](https://productos.dev/docs/agents/fullstack-builder.md): The implementation agent: a full coding agent running headless inside your project sandbox, writing the codebase your PRD specifies.
- [Ideation Agent](https://productos.dev/docs/agents/ideation.md): A Socratic thinking partner that sharpens your raw idea into a testable concept by asking questions, not writing answers for you.
- [Orchestrator](https://productos.dev/docs/agents/orchestrator.md): The agent you actually talk to. It runs the full idea-to-deploy pipeline and routes every task to the right specialist agent.
- [The AI product team](https://productos.dev/docs/agents/overview.md): Meet the ten specialized agents behind ProductOS: what each one does, the order they work in, and how they share one project context.
- [PRD Agent](https://productos.dev/docs/agents/prd.md): A requirements writer that turns your concept and research into a structured PRD, one section at a time behind an outline-approval gate.
- [QA Agent](https://productos.dev/docs/agents/qa.md): A real-browser tester that drives headless Chromium against your app, checks flows, APIs, and accessibility, and returns one verdict.
- [Research Agent](https://productos.dev/docs/agents/research.md): A market and feasibility investigator that researches competitors, market size, and validation across many sources, citing every claim.
- [Architecture (optional)](https://productos.dev/docs/build/architecture.md): The optional technical deep-dive inside Define: eight architecture sections, decision records, and infrastructure cost estimates.
- [Deploy](https://productos.dev/docs/build/deploy.md): How publishing works: preflight build, GitHub push, Vercel deployment, self-fixing broken builds, the deploy ledger, and custom domains.
- [Design](https://productos.dev/docs/build/design-stage.md): How the Design stage sets up your brand, maps user flows, specs every screen, and locks a production-ready design system.
- [Develop](https://productos.dev/docs/build/develop-stage.md): How the Develop stage turns your spec and design system into a real codebase, built by a coding agent inside a live cloud sandbox.
- [Ideation](https://productos.dev/docs/build/ideation.md): How the Ideation stage turns a raw idea into a sharp, testable product concept through Socratic questioning, not invention.
- [Build overview](https://productos.dev/docs/build/overview.md): How the Build surface runs the full product pipeline, from raw idea to deployed app, with one shared project context across every stage.
- [PRD (Define)](https://productos.dev/docs/build/prd.md): How the Define stage writes your product requirements document section by section, behind an outline-approval gate, in four templates.
- [QA](https://productos.dev/docs/build/qa.md): How QA runs a real browser against your app, what it tests, how verdicts work, and how a fail chains into an automatic fix run.
- [Research (Discover)](https://productos.dev/docs/build/research.md): How the Discover stage investigates competitors, market size, and user validation, grounding every claim in a source you can click.
- [GitHub sync](https://productos.dev/docs/code/github-sync.md): Your generated code lives in Git from the first turn. Connect your own GitHub account to push, pull, and import repositories. No lock-in.
- [Mobile apps](https://productos.dev/docs/code/mobile.md): Build native mobile apps on the Code surface with Expo and React Native: device-frame previews, on-demand databases, and an App Store publish wizard.
- [Code surface overview](https://productos.dev/docs/code/overview.md): The Code surface at develop.productos.dev is an AI app builder: describe what you want in chat and a coding agent builds it in a live cloud sandbox.
- [Publish](https://productos.dev/docs/code/publish.md): Ship a Code project to a live URL in one flow: pick a subdomain on product-os.app, watch the deploy, and connect a custom domain on Pro plans.
- [Sandboxes](https://productos.dev/docs/code/sandboxes.md): Every Code project runs in its own isolated cloud sandbox with a live preview URL. Learn the lifecycle, cold boot behavior, and plan-based resources.
- [Templates](https://productos.dev/docs/code/templates.md): Clone a curated starter into a fresh private project on the Code surface. Volume-backed templates boot in about 3 seconds with a live preview.
- [Brand and design systems](https://productos.dev/docs/design/brand-and-design-systems.md): Create a design system from a prompt, your brand assets, or an existing website: tokens, a DESIGN.md spec, and dark and light HTML previews.
- [Design surface overview](https://productos.dev/docs/design/overview.md): The Design surface at design.productos.dev generates UI: full design systems from a text prompt, a remixable template gallery, and brand import.
- [Design templates](https://productos.dev/docs/design/templates.md): Browse the Design surface template gallery by category, preview any template live, and remix it into a project of your own in one click.
- [Core concepts](https://productos.dev/docs/getting-started/core-concepts.md): The three ideas behind ProductOS: one shared project context, a staged pipeline, and specialized agents coordinated by an Orchestrator.
- [Plans and credits](https://productos.dev/docs/getting-started/plans-and-credits.md): How ProductOS pricing works: one plan and one credit pool shared across Build, Code, and Design, with a free tier and no credit card to start.
- [Projects and stages](https://productos.dev/docs/getting-started/projects-and-stages.md): How a ProductOS project moves through the five-stage pipeline, what each stage produces, and how sandboxes and templates fit in.

- [What is ProductOS?](https://productos.dev/docs/getting-started/what-is-productos.md): ProductOS is an AI-native product development platform: describe an idea once and a team of AI agents researches, specs, designs, codes, and ships it.
- [Claude](https://productos.dev/docs/integrations/claude.md): Connect Claude to your ProductOS project over MCP so it plans, specs, and pressure-tests decisions against your real product context.
- [Cursor](https://productos.dev/docs/integrations/cursor.md): Connect ProductOS to Cursor over MCP so the editor writes code against your real PRD, research, and design instead of a pasted snippet.
- [GitHub](https://productos.dev/docs/integrations/github.md): Sync the full generated codebase to your own GitHub repository as real commits, review real diffs, and deploy from the branch you control.
