v2.0 — The Planning Layer for AI Coding

Scope Architect is now built for AI builders. Recursive engine, Architect Chat, and Agent Handoff exports for Cursor, Claude Code, Devin, and Windsurf.

v2.0.02026-05-25

A major repositioning. Scope Architect is now the missing planning layer between your idea and the AI agents that ship your code.

What's new

  • Agent Handoff exports — generate a clean JSON or Markdown spec tuned for the LLM context window of Cursor, Claude Code, Devin, or Windsurf. Copy to clipboard, paste into your agent, watch it ship without follow-up clarifying questions.
  • Builder Profile (replaces Studio DNA) — calibrate the engine to your tech stack, target agent, code style, and estimate unit. Same recursive engine, your defaults.
  • Architect Chat as a first-class feature — refine your scope by talking to AI. Diffable change plans you preview and apply in one click.
  • Dual views — Builder + Agent Handoff — full engineering surface for you, clean self-contained spec for your agent. Same source of truth, two perfect contexts.
  • All AI agents supported — Cursor, Claude Code, Devin, Windsurf, plus a generic format for anything else.

New pricing

  • Free ($0/mo) — 5 scopes/mo, 100 chat messages, full workflow, no card required.
  • Builder ($19/mo, $190/yr) — unlimited scopes, BYOK, all agents, single seat.
  • Team ($15/seat/mo, slider for 2-25+ seats) — collaboration, role permissions, API access for CI pipelines.
  • Founding Member Lifetime — Builder LTD $349 (first 200), Team LTD $1,499 (first 50, 5 seats included).

What's gone

  • eSign, invoicing, Stripe payment flows, polished client-facing proposal PDFs — all retired with the agency positioning. If you were using these on the old Solo/Studio/Agency plans, your lifetime access is grandfathered to the equivalent new tier.

Why

The recursive engine, structured JSON output, chat-based edits, and dual-view filtering were built for a different audience but always made more sense for AI builders. We were building this product all along — we just had the wrong target user on the box.

Architect Chat + Recursive Engine refinements

Architect Chat now produces diffable change plans. Recursive engine extended to handle dependency graphs and acceptance criteria generation.

v1.5.02026-05-15

Architect Chat — diffable change plans

Every chat turn now produces a structured change plan you can preview before applying. No drift, no half-applied edits, no broken state.

  • Preview before apply — see exactly which modules, features, and tasks will change.
  • One-click apply — accept the whole plan or reject and iterate.
  • Undo — full revert if you change your mind.

Recursive engine — deeper decomposition

The engine now generates acceptance criteria and dependency graphs alongside atomic tasks.

  • Per-task acceptance criteria — every generated task ships with explicit "done when" conditions.
  • Dependency mapping — tasks know what they depend on, surfaced for review and for export.
  • Complexity flagging — high-complexity tasks get flagged for splitting before they hit your agent.
Initial Beta Release

Scope Architect is live. The recursive scoping engine, dual views, and project management ship from day one.

v1.0.02026-05-08

Beta access is open. Founding Member lifetime pricing available.

Core features

  • Recursive scoping engine — turn a vague idea into modules, features, and atomic tasks.
  • Project + task management — lightweight statuses (To Do, In Progress, In Review, Done).
  • Dual views — different rendering modes for different audiences.
  • Real-time team collaboration — multiple editors, field-level locks.
  • BYOK — bring your own keys for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or xAI.

What's next

Architect Chat (talk to AI to refine your scope), Agent Handoff exports (one-click handoff to Cursor / Claude Code / Devin / Windsurf), and a comprehensive Builder Profile system.
