Prerequisite

First export your Replit project to GitHub: Export Replit project to GitHub .

Sign in to Feature1 and select your project.
Connect GitHub and choose the exported repository.
Feature1 analyses your codebase — indexing module dependencies, architectural patterns, and conventions already in your code.
A Domain Spec is generated automatically — a living knowledge graph of your codebase that powers every downstream AI decision.

Describe the feature you want to build in plain language — no special syntax needed. Feature1 runs a multi-stage analysis pipeline that produces:

Decomposition: Breaks your feature into concrete sub-tasks aligned with your codebase structure.
Feasibility and impact assessment: Evaluates technical feasibility, identifies risks, and estimates downstream effects.
Implementation study: Maps the changes needed across your codebase — files, modules, and dependencies.
Open questions: Surfaces ambiguities that need your input before implementation begins.
PRD generation: Produces a complete product requirements document with scope, acceptance criteria, and user stories.

The output is a set of user stories, each with independently testable acceptance criteria — ready for implementation.

Choose the mode that matches your level of control:

Autopilot: AI implements each acceptance criterion autonomously — creating branches, committing code, and opening PRs. You review at approval gates and confirm or request changes.
Copilot: You drive implementation through your preferred MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or Codex CLI). Feature1 provides the workflow context, codebase grounding, and orchestration while you make the design decisions.

In both modes, the AI writes code consistent with the patterns and conventions already in your repository — the codebase you exported from Replit.

Review the PR on GitHub — each change is linked to the acceptance criterion that drove it.
Merge through your normal process. Feature1 integrates with your existing CI/CD pipeline.
Release notes are generated automatically, tracing every change back to the feature and user story that produced it.

Every change is traceable: Each code change maps to an acceptance criterion, which maps to a user story, which maps to a feature.
Code review is built in: PRs are opened on GitHub with full context — no more deploying untested changes directly.
Planning is structured: Features go through analysis before implementation, catching issues early instead of after deploy.
Your existing stack stays: Feature1 works with your code as-is. No framework changes, no rewrite required.
