The Spec OS for AI-assisted Engineering

Stop vibe coding. Ship on spec.

Context Ark turns your brain dump into a versioned Project Kernel + 60+ production-ready docs—then exports tool-specific build context for Cursor, Cline, v0, and more.

Bypassing the drift:

Scattered Chat Logs
HALLUCINATED ARCHITECTURE
TOKEN BURN ON REWORK
STALE CONFLUENCE DOCS

AI coding breaks when the spec lives in your head.

You start with a good plan, then the agent drifts. Bits of requirements are scattered across chat logs, Notion pages, and brain dumps. Re-explaining context burns tokens and hours.

Waste days writing docs before you can code
AI tools hallucinate without proper context
Every new prompt burns tokens just to rebuild context
Teams lose hours to rework because of missing truth

You don't need better prompts. You need a Kernel.

Context Ark turns your messy ideas into a machine-readable Project Kernel. This is the source of truth that keeps every tool aligned.

Project Kernel

Versioned source of truth (JSON)

Tiered Doc Packs

18 / 40 / 60 documents per project

Tool Exports

Cursor, Cline, v0, Lovable context

Repo Bootstrap

Ready-to-ship Next.js + Supabase code

AI for Product Managers (and Vibe Coders)

Turn discovery into a PRD document—then generate the rest of the spec pack your AI coding tools actually need.

Built for the people shipping with AI

Solo Builders

Vibe coders

Turn chaos into a build plan. Stop re-explaining your project to the agent. Export rules so the tool behaves like your teammate.

Small Teams

Sync Product & Engineering

PRD/FRD/Architecture generated from the same Kernel. QA checks for contradictions across docs. Repeatable structure for every sprint.

Agencies

Productize Specs

Standardized doc packs per client. Faster onboarding + consistent deliverables. ZIP exports for seamless client handoff.

From idea to docs in 4 steps

A deterministic pipeline for structured software specification.

01

Intake Pass

Brain dump your idea. Context Ark runs a coverage pass and asks only what's missing.

02

Build Kernel

AI generates a machine-readable project model—the source of truth.

03

Generate Pack

ZIP Export

Download everything as a structured ZIP for any tool.

The Build Agent

Status: Active

$Analyzing Project Kernel v1.4.0...
$Generating "System Architecture" (Job #442)...
$Running QA Quality Check: 100% Alignment...
Job Complete. Export ready for Cursor.

Not just docs. Build Jobs.

Context Ark isn't a simple generator—it's an orchestration layer. Every document becomes a specialized Build Job handled by an AI Agent that understands the law of your Kernel.

Quality Control

Every output is cross-validated against your Kernel to prevent architectural drift.

Durable Execution

Powered by Inngest, our jobs never fail. Retries and state are handled automatically.

What is a PRD document?

A PRD (Product Requirements Document) defines what you’re building: the user, the problem, in-scope features, non-goals, and acceptance criteria. For AI coding, PRD is only step one—reliable builds also need API contracts, schema, architecture, and test plans.

Vibe coding meaning (2026)

Vibe coding is building by prompts and intuition without a stable spec. It breaks when requirements live in chat logs and the model fills gaps with guesses. Context Ark fixes this by creating a versioned Kernel + doc pack that your tools must follow. Read the full definition →

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this just a PRD generator?

No. Context Ark produces a machine-readable Project Kernel that drives all generated docs, exports, and workflows—ensuring 100% alignment across your tools.

What is a Build Job?

A Build Job is a specialized orchestration of AI models that generates, validates, and cross-references a specific architectural file against your Kernel rules.

Does it work with Cursor, Cline, or v0?

Yes. Every project includes tool-specific exports (.cursorrules, knowledge packs) so your AI builders stay on spec.

What is a Project Kernel?

Think of it as the 'DNA' of your project. It's a structured JSON model that defines entities, relationships, constraints, and architecture.

Can I use my own API keys?

We are currently moving BYOK to a Lifetime License model. Join the waitlist for early bird access to the 1-time payment offer.

Ship once. Export everywhere.

Your Project Kernel becomes the law. Every doc, prompt, and export follows. Join the new era of spec-driven AI development.
