THE PLANNING AGENT

Turn business requirements into a plan your dev team can build.

The business twin of the coding agent, built for complex enterprise projects.

  • Ground every plan in what your company knows: code, documents, transcripts, knowledge bases.
  • Uncover unknowns, assumptions, and edge cases before building starts.
  • Break large projects into sub-plans that share what the plan knows.
  • Get your team's input with comment threads and shareable prototypes.
  • Hand off to your dev team in Linear, Jira, Asana, or Radial.

No technical setup. No coding tools to learn. Plans start at $50 per user/month.

Context

Bring the context.

Your code. Your business context. Connected once at company, project, and plan level.

Clarity

Spec what matters.

Turn what the business needs into clear requirements: build-ready Specs and a clickable prototype. Zero ambiguity.

Collaboration

Plan it together.

One Plan the whole team can shape. Comment on a Spec, settle it in place.

Your dev team doesn't need more tickets. They need better ones.

The business side

"That's not what I asked for."

You knew what you needed. It left your head whole and arrived in the backlog as three lines. What ships weeks later makes no sense. Then the meetings start, to clean it up.

The dev side

"That's not what the ticket said."

Your developers build exactly what was written. When the ticket is vague, they fill the gaps with assumptions, and the assumptions become the product.

Clarity gets lost in the handoff.

Plansmith settles it with a specification both sides trust.

Business requirements in. Build-ready out.

Four steps between the requirement in your head and the tickets in your issue tracker.

  1. STEP 1 · DESCRIBE WITH CONTEXT

    Tell it like you'd tell a colleague.

    Type the business requirement in your own words.

    • Up to speed on your codebase and your business context.
    • Strategizes with you on scope, priorities, and edge cases.
    • Interviews you like a sharp tech lead, so nothing comes back as rework.

    You

    Customers should be able to pause their subscription instead of canceling.

    Plansmith

    Got it. Should a pause stop billing right away, or at the end of the current cycle?

  2. STEP 2 · SHAPE

    Watch it become a plan.

    The agent turns the interview into a plan, live.

    • Drafts Specs: one buildable piece each, with numbered acceptance criteria.
    • Scores every Spec: readiness Rough to Ready, effort Low to High.
    • Sets the build order so the first ticket is one your devs can start.

    • SPEC-4Confirmation email on pauseRoughLowneeds first: SPEC-3
  3. STEP 3 · COLLABORATE

    Refine it together.

    Invite your team in and react in your own words. The agent rewrites, re-scores, and re-orders as you go.

    • Comment threads on every Spec: settle open questions in place.
    • Shareable prototypes: stakeholders pin feedback, no login needed.
    • Everyone sees the new version the moment a Spec changes.

  4. STEP 4 · HAND OFF

    Push the whole plan to your issue tracker in one click.

    Approve the plan, then push. Nothing reaches your issue tracker before you say so.

    • Lands as nested issues in Linear, Jira, Asana, or Radial.
    • Carries everything: dependencies, estimates, and workflow states.
    • Handed off, not handed back: your dev team builds instead of asking.

Engineering got agents.
Now it's your turn.

Developers work with coding agents that read their whole codebase. Plansmith is the same idea for the person upstream of them: it reads your code and your business context, interviews you, and produces Specs your dev team can build from without a grooming meeting.

Start planning

New agent. Same workflow.

Plansmith reads context from GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repositories, from documents and transcripts you upload, and from any source that speaks MCP. When the Plan is Ready, one click pushes it to Linear, Jira, Asana, or Radial as nested issues carrying dependencies, estimates, and workflow states.
