Boltnew

Boltnew is a structured methodology for developing software products using Claude’s code generation capabilities. The approach prioritizes written specifications over conversational prompts, using a markdown-based product requirements document as the foundation for development. This documentation-first strategy aims to establish clarity and logical consistency from the initial design phase through implementation.

Core Components

The methodology relies on two key artifacts. First, a detailed markdown-based product requirements document (PRD) that specifies features, functionality, and design decisions in written form. Second, a task manager system that coordinates work across subagents—specialized Claude instances or processes that handle discrete portions of the development work. This separation of specification from execution allows for clearer task decomposition and parallel development workflows.

Application

Boltnew is designed for teams or developers building with Claude who want to move beyond single-prompt interactions toward more structured product development. By codifying requirements in markdown and distributing tasks to managed subagents, the approach aims to improve consistency, reduce ambiguity, and enable more complex projects than conversational-only development workflows typically support.
