The Product
Enact, the spec governance platform for AI coding teams, creates a shared specification layer before code. It combines customer and team context with the realities of your codebase, gives product and engineering one place to approve the plan, and preserves those decisions as work moves into issue trackers and AI coding tools.
01
Connect the evidence behind a feature: product intent from a customer call or ticket, decisions your team has already made, and the constraints that already exist in your codebase. Enact reads what's already true instead of asking someone to retype it.
02
Enact turns that context into a structured, section-by-section plan — scope, non-goals, acceptance criteria, and the technical approach — that product and engineering review together before anything is built. Nothing moves forward on a private assumption.
03
The approved plan becomes structured work in Jira or Linear, and the same context becomes the brief your coding agent works from — Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, or Windsurf. As the plan changes, that change is traceable back to who approved it and why.
Not another PRD generator
A PRD generator produces a document and stops there — what happens next is up to whoever reads it, if they read it at all. Enact is built for the part that comes after: the plan stays attached to the work as it moves into Jira or Linear, stays attached to the coding agent that implements it, and stays attached to the history of who approved what and why. If scope changes mid-build, that change is visible in the same place the original approval happened — not buried in a Slack thread or a doc nobody reopens.
It's also not a replacement for Jira, Linear, or the coding agent you already use. Enact sits one layer above them — it's the shared source of truth that makes what you hand to those tools accurate in the first place.
The difference shows up most clearly when scope changes mid-sprint. In a PRD-based workflow, that change lives wherever someone happened to write it down — a comment, a new doc, a message that only reaches half the team. In Enact, the same plan updates in place, the approval history shows exactly what changed and who signed off on it, and the coding agent picks up the revised brief instead of building against a version that's already stale.
Who it's for
Write the intent in plain language and see exactly what engineering committed to build — no waiting on a translated ticket to find out.
Get a plan that already accounts for what the codebase actually looks like, so agents aren't guessing at architecture decisions mid-build.
Skip the overhead of a full PM function while still getting a real spec — plain language in, structured plan out.
Why we built it this way
“My last startup raised a seed round. We had the team, the runway, the ambition. What we didn't have was a clean line between what the PM decided and what engineering built. Every sprint felt like a game of telephone. By the time a decision reached the engineers, half the context was already lost. That gap doesn't just slow you down — it compounds until it breaks the team.”

Every step in the product above exists to close that exact gap — not by adding process for its own sake, but by giving product and engineering one artifact they both trust before an agent starts writing code.
