Quickstart

From a chat to a drafting PRD in a few minutes.

3 min read · 6 sections

By the end of this page you'll have shaped an idea in a chat, turned it into a project, and watched the PRD draft itself. You won't write a line of code.

Start with a chat

Sign in and you land in Chats. Type what you're thinking of building; one honest line is enough:

  • "A token launchpad for memecoins. Pick name, symbol, supply, and a launch style, preview the contract, then deploy."
  • "An NFT mint page with an allowlist, 5 phases, and a connect-wallet button."
  • "A DAO dashboard: proposals, voting, and a treasury view."

Hit Enter and the conversation opens.

Shape the idea

The chat partner, Spec, isn't a yes-machine. It asks who the product is for, what the wedge is, and what belongs in a v1. It pushes back where the idea is thin. A few exchanges are usually enough to turn "a tg bot" into something buildable. Building on an existing codebase? Import a GitHub repo straight from the composer.

Nothing is being built yet: no spec, no code, no pipeline. Iterate freely.

Create the project

When the idea holds together, hit Create project in the composer. Modus distills the whole conversation into a brief and shows it in a modal with three fields:

  • Project name: how the project appears in your dashboard.
  • Product name: what the product itself is called; it flows into the PRD and design. Left empty, it defaults to the project name.
  • Brief: the distilled conversation, editable. Everything the agents build starts from it.

Confirm, and Modus creates the project and drops you in its hub: seven chapter cards. PRD, Design, and Code are open from the start; the Token Launcher waits for PRD approval; Docs and Deck open once you've started building in Code; the CMS chapter is rolling out soon. Starting with the PRD is still the move: it's the spec the rest of the build reads from.

Let the PRD draft itself

Open PRD. The Architect reads your brief, asks anything still missing, then streams the spec in live, section by section: Problem, Users, Scope, Architecture, Pages, and User journeys, while the Environment tab fills from your project's env panel.

Edit anything inline. Ask Modus to refine a section, or run a Review to get four expert agents to critique the spec.

Approve and build

When the spec reads right, hit Approve. Modus snapshots it: the Token Launcher unlocks, and Design and Code, already open, now build from the approved spec:

  • Design generates every screen from the spec.
  • Code turns it into a running app you can preview live.
  • Token Launcher walks you through launching a token.

Start Code and the Docs and Deck chapters open up too; the hub's Deploy button is always there. Your original chat stays in the sidebar as the project's navigator: ask it where to do things and it points you at the right chapter.
