# Project Planning

PRDs, BRDs, ADRs, and architecture diagrams

## Overview

Create architecture decision records (MADR v4 + Y-Statement) with phase-gated coaching, ASR-trigger validation, supersession lineage, and per-project templates. Build PRDs, BRDs, and architecture diagrams through guided AI workflows. Evaluate AI-powered systems against Responsible AI standards and run STRIDE-based security model analysis with automated backlog generation.
