How Feature1 Works
From product idea to deployed code — powered by domain intelligence and AI agents
The Feature1 Pipeline
Six stages from repo connection to shipped code
Connect Your Repository
Onboard your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository in minutes. Feature1 securely indexes your codebase and establishes a persistent connection to track changes over time.
Build Domain Intelligence
The AI constructs a semantic knowledge graph of your codebase — understanding modules, dependencies, conventions, and architectural patterns. This graph powers every downstream decision.
Plan Features
Submit a feature idea in plain language. Feature1 runs a 6-stage AI analysis pipeline — scoping, risk assessment, dependency analysis, effort estimation, acceptance criteria drafting, and implementation planning.
Generate User Stories & ACs
User stories and acceptance criteria are auto-generated from feature analysis, fully aligned with your domain model. Each story is traceable, testable, and ready for implementation.
Implement with AI
Choose Autopilot — AI implements each AC autonomously, commits code, and opens PRs with approval gates — or Copilot for Driver-Navigator pair programming via your MCP client (Claude Code or Codex CLI).
Ship
A pull request is created automatically with a full diff, inline comments explaining decisions, and auto-generated release notes. Merge when ready — Feature1 handles the rest.
Choose Your Mode
Two ways to work with Feature1 — pick the level of control that suits your team
HITL Autopilot
Feature1 automates the heavy lifting between approval gates. AI plans, generates user stories and acceptance criteria, implements code, creates PRs, and drafts release notes, while humans approve critical transitions.
- Automation between human approval gates
- Feature analysis to PR with controlled checkpoints
- Auto-generated release notes on every merge
- Continuous learning from merged code
- Ideal for well-scoped, repeatable work
Driver-Navigator
The MCP client (Claude Code or Codex CLI) drives the implementation while you navigate — guiding design decisions and architecture choices at each step.
- Driver-Navigator pair programming pattern
- MCP client (Claude Code or Codex CLI) drives code
- You navigate design decisions and architecture
- Guide each step without writing it yourself
- Full audit trail of every AI action
MCP Integration
Connect Claude Code and other AI agents directly to Feature1 via the Model Context Protocol
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI agents securely connect to external tools and data sources. Feature1 exposes its entire workflow through an MCP server — meaning any compatible agent can plan, implement, and ship features programmatically.
