Stack Studio

Generate technical docs from your codebase with AI

Freemium

Description

Stack Studio serves as an AI-powered software architect, designed to assist developers and teams in planning software features before initiating the coding process. By analyzing an existing codebase, the tool automatically generates crucial technical documentation, including architecture diagrams like UML and ERDs, API specifications, and detailed design documents. This process provides rich, real-time context derived directly from the actual code.

The primary goal of Stack Studio is to prevent 'code-mess' and AI-generated 'spaghetti code' by promoting a structured, design-first approach. It offers a guided AI workspace to define requirements, explore architectural options, identify impacted files, and prevent code duplication. Furthermore, it facilitates cloud-based collaboration and provides optimized context output (via Markdown export or its MCP server) to enhance the performance of AI coding assistants like Copilot, Cursor, and Claude. Stack Studio is designed to be stack-agnostic, supporting any programming language, framework, or architecture.

Key Features

Codebase Analysis: Scans codebases (root folder or monorepo) to map architecture, uncover dependencies, and identify reusable logic.
AI-Powered Feature Planning: Utilizes AI to brainstorm features, map system design, and define requirements grounded in the real codebase.
Automated Architecture & Specs Generation: Instantly creates design documents including UML diagrams, ERDs, API specs, and high-level architectural maps.
AI Assistant Integration: Exports prompt-ready context (requirements, diagrams, file plans, constraints, edge cases) via Markdown or MCP server for tools like Copilot, Cursor, Claude.
Cloud-Based Collaboration: Saves designs online for easy team sharing, commenting, and collaboration.
Stack Agnostic: Supports any programming language, framework, or architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of software projects can I use Stack Studio for?

Stack Studio is stack-agnostic and supports every language, framework, and architecture.

What kind of documents can Stack Studio generate?

Stack Studio can generate technical documentation including UML diagrams, ERDs, API specifications, design documents, and implementation context.

How can I use the generated technical designs?

The generated designs can be used to guide implementation, shared with your team for collaboration, or exported as context for AI coding assistants like Copilot, Cursor, and Claude.

Can I collaborate with my team on the documents?

Yes, all designs are saved online, making them easy to share, comment on, and collaborate on with your team.

How does Stack Studio integrate with my existing codebase?

You connect your codebase (root folder or monorepo), and Stack Studio scans it to map architecture, uncover dependencies, and understand its structure.
