Prism: One spec. Every platform.

Prism is a multi-platform workspace generator and workflow model for AI-assisted product development.

It helps product and engineering teams:

• generate a shared foundation for backend, web, Android, and iOS from one guided starting point
• keep Claude, Codex, and Cursor aligned on the same product and technical context
• run delivery through a living wiki instead of scattered prompts, tribal knowledge, and local memory

This repository contains the Prism template and CLI. It is not a generated workspace.

If you want to see Prism applied to a concrete product demo, take a look at TreasuryFlow, a sample finance operations workspace generated and evolved with Prism.

The Prism launcher is the main entry point for generation, validation, and orientation.

What Prism Generates

A Prism-generated repository can include:

• Backend: Spring Boot 4, Kotlin 2.2+, Java 21
• User Web App: Next.js + TypeScript
• Admin Web Portal: Next.js + TypeScript
• Android: Kotlin + Jetpack Compose
• iOS: Swift + SwiftUI

Every generated repository also includes:

• a living product wiki under knowledge/wiki/
• generated AI context for Claude, Codex, and Cursor
• lifecycle commands for PO, design, dev, and advisory review
• project docs, generators, and workflow wiring

Quick Start

If you want to try Prism from this repo:

pip install copier
pip install -e .
prism

From the Prism home screen:

• choose Doctor to check prerequisites
• choose New Project to generate a sample repo
• choose Presets if you want to browse the recommended starting paths first

After generating a project:

1. open the generated repository
2. inspect README.md, CONTEXT.md, and knowledge/wiki/SCHEMA.md
3. initialize the workflow with:
   • Claude Code: /setup-project
   • Codex: $setup-project
   • Cursor: ask the agent to run setup-project

For the full first-run path, read docs/getting-started.md.

Start Here By Goal

I want to generate a project and evaluate Prism

Read these first:

1. docs/getting-started.md
2. docs/questionnaire.md
3. docs/generated-projects.md

I already have a generated Prism project

Read these first:

1. README.md inside the generated repository
2. CONTEXT.md inside the generated repository
3. docs/generated-projects.md
4. docs/wiki-workflow.md

I want to understand the Prism operating model

Read these in order:

1. docs/prism-model.md
2. docs/wiki-workflow.md
3. docs/ai-surfaces.md

I want to maintain or improve Prism itself

Start with:

1. docs/maintainer-workflow.md
2. docs/current-status.md
3. docs/README.md

Current Status

• Backend, Android, and iOS are the stronger paths today.
• User web app and admin web portal generate real slices and pass install/build smoke checks, but still need live Cloudflare deployment validation.
• Apple Sign-In remains experimental.
• The safest maintainer workflow remains explicit sample generation plus template validation.

For the detailed maturity snapshot, read docs/current-status.md.
