The Team

Specialists for every stage of delivery.

Most teams rely on a single person to be BA, architect, PM, and QA simultaneously. Buildyr deploys a dedicated specialist at every decision point - each one accountable for its slice of the pipeline.

Lean

Story only

Two agents. Two calls. One complete story plan. The Reviewer covers requirements and architecture in a single focused pass - surfacing gaps and assumptions before any code is written. The Task Planner then produces precise, executable implementation tasks with exact file paths. No decomposition, no overhead.

Simple Reviewer

Combined BA and Architect review in one pass. Validates story clarity, acceptance criteria, and technical feasibility for AI coding agents.

Outputs

  • Technical Approach
  • Affected Files/Modules
  • Risk Assessment

Simple Task Planner

Generates minimal, specific implementation and test tasks that AI coding agents can execute autonomously with no human interaction required.

Outputs

  • Implementation Tasks
  • Test Tasks
  • Specific File Paths & Commands

Build

RecommendedEpic - Feature - Story

Ten agents operating across three structured layers. Your Epic is examined for strategic clarity and technical feasibility, then decomposed into Features representing real product capabilities, then broken into implementation-ready Stories. BA, Architect, and PM each validate their domain at every layer - acceptance criteria, trade-offs, and scope boundaries included.

Epic Business Analyst

Validates strategic clarity, scope boundaries, and measurable success criteria for Epics. Ensures initiatives are outcome-oriented and properly sized (3-10 Features).

Outputs

  • Strategic Intent Validation
  • Scope Boundaries
  • Success Criteria Review

Epic Architect

Assesses high-level technical feasibility and platform impact for Epics. Identifies architectural constraints and sets guardrails for Feature development.

Outputs

  • Technical Feasibility Assessment
  • Architectural Guardrails
  • Platform Impact Analysis

Epic Product Manager

Consolidates Epic validation feedback, confirms strategic alignment, and approves Epics for Feature decomposition. Rewrites Epic descriptions in standard format.

Outputs

  • Decomposition Approval
  • Feature Decomposition Brief
  • Standardized Epic Description

Feature Decomposition Agent

Breaks approved Epics into 3-8 independently deliverable Features, each representing a product capability area with clear acceptance criteria.

Outputs

  • Feature Work Items
  • Feature Acceptance Criteria
  • Decomposition Notes

Feature Business Analyst

Validates user-facing value, testable acceptance criteria, and appropriate sizing for Features. Ensures traceability to Epic goals.

Outputs

  • User Value Validation
  • Acceptance Criteria Review

Deep

Epic - Feature - Story + specialists

The same three-layer pipeline as Build, with every agent operating at a deeper level of analysis. The BA documents edge cases and failure modes. The Architect records trade-off decisions, not just conclusions. On top of that, a UX Designer produces mobile-first interaction specs, Security maps the auth surface and compliance requirements, a Data Specialist validates the schema, DevOps writes deployment and rollback procedures, and QA defines the full test strategy. Everything documented before development starts.
