majiayu000 Deckrd - Your Goals to Tasks framework
Deckrd is a document-centered framework for structuring and refining ideas through iterative discussion with AI. It guides the creation of requirements, decisions, specifications, and implementation plans as derived documents, not final outputs. Each document captures reasoning at a specific stage, preserving context and intent. Through a strict, state-driven workflow, these documents are progressively shaped into executable development tasks. Deckrd enables documentation to function as a practical engine for action, not just description.
