DevFlow AI

Your ultimate AI prompt engineering workbench, natively integrated into VS Code.

DevFlow AI transforms how developers interact with Large Language Models (LLMs) by turning disorganized requirements into highly structured, context-rich development prompts. Built on the principles of modularity and reusability, DevFlow AI helps you extract maximum value from any AI-coding assistant (like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot) without requiring complex setup, API keys, or subscriptions.

🚀 Features

📝 Step-by-Step Prompt Generation Wizard

With DevFlow AI, you don’t need to be a prompt engineering expert. A guided step-by-step wizard walks you through creating foundational engineering documents. Start with a plain text requirement and sequentially build:

1. Product Requirements Document (PRD): Define the "Why" and "What" of your feature.
2. Technical Design Specification (TDS): Dictate the "How", including system architecture and data flows.
3. Development Implementation Guide (DIG): Break down the work into actionable coding steps.
4. Development (DEV) Prompts: Provide hyper-specific, file-by-file context directly to your AI.

🧠 Contextual Awareness using Workspace Files

Say goodbye to copy-pasting code snippets! Attach relevant code context within your prompt templates to automatically inject it into your prompts. Need the package.json dependencies or the User model definition? Just add the context, and DevFlow AI does the heavy lifting.

📁 Automatic Markdown Export

Every prompt document you generate is automatically saved in a structured .devflow directory within your workspace. Easily version control, share, and review your prompts alongside your regular code.

🎨 Clean, Lightweight Workbench UI

DevFlow AI embraces the Unix philosophy: do one thing and do it well. It offers a standalone sidebar interface completely focused on crafting the perfect prompt.

🛠️ Getting Started

1. Open the DevFlow AI sidebar by clicking the DevFlow icon in your Activity Bar, or by running DevFlow: Start Workflow (Ctrl+Shift+D / Cmd+Shift+D).
2. Start the Prompt Generation Wizard.
3. Fill in your requirements for the PRD.
4. Add file context by searching for file paths within your workspace.
5. Click Generate PRD to save the document.
6. Proceed to the next stages (TDS, DIG, DEV) when you're ready!

⚙️ Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• devflow.defaultScope: Set the default implementation scope (e.g., fullstack, frontend, backend).
