SPEC · ENGINEERING DISCIPLINE × AGENTIC DEV

From requirements
to running code. Autonomously.

An open-source desktop workbench that unifies AI-guided requirements engineering, architecture modelling, and multi-agent autonomous development — with humans in the loop where it matters.

FIG. 01 — PLAN MODE

Engineering discipline for agentic development.

Every project starts with intent. Ombuto guides you through creating structured, linked requirements documents — with AI doing the heavy lifting.

Ombuto Code — Plan Mode: AI-guided Architecture creation
An interactive AI session guides you through the document — pick a skill as the system prompt, then create or refine with AI.
01

PRD & Architecture

Create your PRD and Architecture interactively with AI. The agent walks you through each section, asking questions and building documents incrementally — each one building on the last.

PRD Architecture Style Guide Data Model Skills
02

Epics & Ticket Generation

AI breaks your PRD into deliverable epics — each with scope, acceptance criteria, and cross-referenced requirements — then generates implementation tickets with dependency ordering, ready for agents to pick up.

03

Mockups & Visual Design

Link mockups to epics so coding agents see the target visual design when implementing UI tickets. Browse them in a gallery with lightbox preview.

FIG. 02 — BUILD MODE

Multi-agent autonomous execution.

Agents pick up tickets, write code in isolated worktrees, and submit for review. You stay in control.

Ombuto Code — Build Mode: Kanban board
Tickets advance To Do → In Progress → Testing → Eval → Merging → Review → Done, with a coding agent assigned per card and dependency counts on every ticket.
04

Kanban Board & Backlog

Manage tickets across workflow stages — backlog, todo, in-progress, review, done. Assign agents per ticket, track dependencies, view acceptance criteria, and watch real-time status updates as agents work.

05

Workspace & Git

Integrated terminal, Git status, commit graph, and branch management. Agents work in isolated worktrees so your main branch stays clean. The status bar shows branch, modified files, and ahead/behind counts.

Terminal Git Integration Worktrees Commit & Push
06

Automation & Evaluation

The scheduler automatically assigns agents to todo tickets and manages concurrency and rate limits. Built-in evaluation validates agent output against acceptance criteria before it reaches human review.

Scheduler Eval Pipeline Concurrency Human Review
FIG. 03 — REVIEW MODE NEW

Human-in-the-loop review & sign-off.

Nothing reaches your main branch without your approval. Inspect agent output against the spec, then merge it or send it back.

Ombuto Code — Review Mode: epic review
Browse epics with their status and blocked-by dependencies, inspect each one's spec, and run an evaluation before sign-off.
07

Diff & Acceptance Review

Evaluation against the acceptance criteria is documented directly on the ticket detail. Approve, request changes, or send it back for another pass.

Diff Review Acceptance Criteria Eval Results Approve / Request Changes
08

Automatic Merge

Once evaluated, work merges automatically from its isolated worktree into your main branch — keeping a clean, auditable history with full traceability.

From idea to shipped code, fully orchestrated.

FIG. 05 — SKILLS SYSTEM

Reusable AI prompts as
first-class documents.

Skills are Markdown files in your project that act as system prompts for AI agents. Select a skill before starting any AI session to guide the agent's approach.

md

PRD Guide

Walks you through creating a structured Product Requirements Document.

md

Architecture Guide

Guides technology choices, component design, and system architecture.

md

Style Guide

Creates comprehensive UI style guides with colour palettes and typography.

md

Ticket Generation

Breaks epics into scoped implementation tickets with dependencies.

md

Mockup Generator

Creates SVG mockups and converts them to PNG for visual reference.

+

Custom Skills

Create your own — any Markdown file in docs/Skills/ becomes a skill.

FIG. 06 — MULTI-AGENT ORCHESTRATION

Your team of AI engineers, managed.

Configure multiple coding agents with concurrency limits, cool-down periods, and connectivity testing. Each works in an isolated git worktree; Ombuto orchestrates them in parallel across your backlog.
