Locus Product Planning

Your center point for planning and building products with AI.

Locus guides you from idea to implementation through a simple 4-step process, backed by 46 specialized skills and 14 agent definitions.

Quick Start

You: I want to build an AI trading simulator

Locus: I'll help you plan and build this step by step.

       📋 AI Trading Simulator
       ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
       → Step 1: Vision ◄
         Step 2: Features
         Step 3: Design
         Step 4: Build

       What problem does this solve?

Say "continue" to move forward. That's it.

How It Works

Step 1: Vision    → What are we building and why?
Step 2: Features  → What will it do?
Step 3: Design    → How will it work?
Step 4: Build     → Let's make it

Why "Locus"?

Locus (noun): A center point; a place where something is situated or occurs.

Your projects need a center point - a place where vision, planning, and execution converge. That's Locus.
