What is Shotgun CLI?
Your AI posse for researching, planning & building software. Repo-aware, multi-agent, and local-first — Shotgun creates decision-ready specs and shareable artifacts that truly capture your intents and context, so AI tools finally build what you mean.
Problem
Users manually create project specifications and documentation without integration with their codebase, leading to time-consuming processes, lack of repo-awareness, and fragmented context that cause misalignment between AI tools and actual project needs.
Solution
A CLI tool (Shotgun CLI) that generates codebase-aware specs using AI agents. Users can automate research, planning, and documentation while maintaining repository context, e.g., creating decision-ready specs synced with their code.
Customers
Software engineers, engineering managers, and AI developers working with tools like Cursor or Claude Code, who need to streamline collaboration and ensure AI outputs align with codebases.
Unique Features
Local-first architecture for privacy, repo-aware AI agents that analyze codebases, and multi-agent collaboration to produce shareable specs capturing developer intent.
