What it does

Takes a natural language description of a feature and generates a complete SAFe feature specification, including benefit hypothesis, acceptance criteria, and stakeholder analysis.

Architecture decisions

I chose a single-agent architecture over multi-agent for this tool. The task is well-scoped enough that one Claude call with a detailed system prompt produces better results than splitting the work across specialists. The Specialization Tax (2-3x cost for multi-agent) wasn’t justified.

What I learned

This was my first production deployment. The gap between “works on my laptop” and “works for my team” is mostly about resilience — error handling, input validation, graceful degradation. The feature logic was 20% of the work; making it production-ready was the other 80%.
