How It Works

1. Connect your repo — Provide the GitHub repository URL or select from your connected repos
2. Analysis — pre.dev scans the codebase to understand:
   • Tech stack and framework
   • Project structure and patterns
   • Existing features and components
   • Database schema (if detectable)
   • API routes and contracts
3. Spec generation — Describe what you want to add, and pre.dev generates specs that fit within the existing architecture
4. Build — Agents implement new features following the patterns established in your codebase

What Gets Analyzed

​

Use Cases

​

Adding Features to Existing Apps

Import my e-commerce repo and add:
- A wishlist feature with sharing via link
- Product recommendations based on browsing history
- A loyalty points system

​

Refactoring

Import my monolith and generate a plan to:
- Extract the payment processing into a microservice
- Add proper error handling across all API endpoints
- Migrate from REST to GraphQL for the frontend queries

​

Onboarding to Unfamiliar Codebases

​

Requirements

• The repository must be accessible (public or connected via GitHub OAuth)
• Supported languages and frameworks are detected automatically
• Large monorepos may take longer to analyze

​

After Import

• View and edit the generated spec
• Use any build mode
• Agents write code that follows your existing patterns
• PRs are opened against your repo
